Update by phone.

I have had 2 calls from Nigel to-day. The first one a rather gleeful one informing me that the coach Ron was taking to Twickenham to see Devon play Lancs ( Rugby) had broken down at Exeter! He had had a text from him and was told not to laugh! The second one at 17.00 was an update, as follows; The front tube has been taken out but there is still one drain in which will be taken out to-morrow. However, he says that one has stopped draining so should not be a problem.He is feeling so much better medically and 50% better than yesterday. Sarah has been in to see him to-day and they walked out to the main entrance ( a not inconsiderable distance!) and then on to the cafeteria for a coffee. He has been told he may be able to go home Monday evening but he is not keen to do this and will push for Tuesday. His shoulder is still quite large and the scar has started to pucker but regular creaming should sort that out.
Footnote: During one of his lower moments a nurse, of possibly Philipino extraction , very quietly asked him "Do you believe in God?". With considerable restraint on his part he replied "No and I feel better already!". My thought on this is that although we laughed about it I do not think it is appropriate for weak & vulnerable people to be approached in this way. Just my opinion. He will be ringing again to-morrow so will update then.
p.s. DEVON WON!
