Peter's ICU frustration
Peter was hoping to move back to the general ward today (Sunday) but the doctor has insisted that he continues to be monitored in ICU. He was disappointed to hear this as, in his own words, he is "getting frustrated with the system". He does not have access to his cellphone in ICU, however if you want to call him on the hospital line they will put your call through to his bedside ... I am sure that he would appreciate some calls, the only restriction is that calls are not allowed between 12h00-14h00 and 21h00-08h00. The switchboard number is +27-021-506-5111, just ask to be put through to Surgical ICU. Jeanette has not gone to visit Peter in hospital as he did not want her to stress over the operation or his recovery process, but she has spoken to him on the phone as often as possible. She has been doing very well at home. The nurse (Aleta) and Jeanette's friend Lydia have had their hands full during the weekdays but they are keeping Jeanette occupied and happy. Then I take over in the evenings and over the weekends. Lydia will be returning to Johannesburg on Tuesday ... she is definitely going to be missed!
