This will have to be a brief update as I only have a small tablet with me which will not easily insert photos.
Kimon is still in intensive care and we keep getting positive updates daily in our 5 minute slot with doctors at 3 pm - then we gown up in green overalls and blue overshoes and give our hands a good scrub. Only after this all the relatives who have been queuing so stoically day by day can catch up with the patient - all of whom seem fast asleep and not easy to talk to. However I am practicing one way conversation s and trying to remember all the love and good wishes which have come our way. Progress is so slow, it is hard to stay patient. However we hope that kimon will soon be over this setback and back to the Urology Ward where he started.
After nearly three weeks of enquiring, we managed to get a room in a hostel/hotel in the hospital grounds, which has made life easier although I needed emergency chocolate today when a 'problemma' drove away the doctor before talking to us and meant waiting an extra hour to be admitted to visit our loved ones. We have begun to make friends with all the other families waiting for news each day. All of us were out of our minds with worry, but it was a new arrival and all seemed calm when we eventually beat our way inside and checked that our patient was doing OK.
All your prayers are helping and I will try to collect my laptop for a fuller blog asap x
