Friday 28th July

Today is considerably better than yesterday. I was in pain, discomfort, and depressed. Nothing seemed on the way up.

I've been told today that a male bed is being held for me at the rehabilitation unit at Upton Hospital (my preferred choice) depending on my sugar levels, which have been high.

The surgeon came to see me. He said that I'd been a very difficult and dangerous case due to my heart's complex and complicated conditions. But although he had doubts about proceeding, the outcome was satisfactory.

Later in the day, it was confirmed that I would be transferred to Upton Hospital sometime tomorrow.

I hope that the unit has WiFi and that I will be able to continue working.

See you tomorrow (I hope)!
