Millie's gone to get ready for bed

living on my own for 6 years has meant it's taken a bit of getting used to sharing a room with 5 others. the others were - on the whole - great company, and we laughed a lot at our collective phobia of the blood pressure machine

nurse (on checking my blood pressure one particular evening): Wow! Have you got a headache? I'll just check it again with the manual cuff then.

more physio each day - together with endless cups of coffee/tea and biscuits and constant heatpacks round necks, on tummies and other sore bits

talk about 5 * treatment
