home is where the Ruth is ..... finally

What a day it has been. I write this as I settle for sleep. 

Ruth has had some lovely visitors today. Her brother, a Chaplin and out friend Jules. 

Ruth had an MRI scan yesterday and after reviewing the footage they were happy to make the call just after lunch she could go home. I received the call and they said we want her home, so the soon you can get here the better so they could release her. 

Brilliant, I shot off from work and made a dash down the A14/A11 with no traffic. I'll arrived at 2.40pm. they were surprised on the ward I was there so soon. 

Then the wait for release began. And went on, and on, and on. 

After chasing for the freedom letter a few times we had a chap who looked quite important and was very sorry but he had called pharmacy and the were sorting the meds at that point (7pm). He said it won't take long now. 

Shift change came and went at 7.45 with still no sign of meds arriving to release Ruth. I went to see the new shift about the meds. The gent saw they were ready and he told me he was on his way to collect them (just after 8). The same chap then came back 20 mins later to say someone had just popped down to pick them up. Hold on I though you said you were going. I didn't say that obviously. Then just after 8.30 he arrived with the meds all 2 boxes of them with a letter of freedom. 

We stopped for a Costa before leaving as we hadn't eaten since lunch. Ruth had a mince tart and because she can not have caffeine. She went with a lovely ice cold Mango drink drink. Safe to say you do not want megga brain freeze after a brain operation. 

We have good traffic on the way home apart from a diversion through 6 mile bottom. A great name of a place, one of my faves. 

Our worry was Zeb at home and sleeping but we have a super star roger who looked after him superbly and Zeb was even asleep when we got home. Thanks so much. 

We know have a walking frame to enable smooth travel around the house for Ruth and wheel chair for outdoor mobility. We have been asked to ensure there is someone always in the house with Ruth whilst she is still uneasy on her feet but now she is home where rest can be undisturbed we are hoping recovery will be a smoother process. 

We are unsure of the results of the scan but they seem happy with what happened and we find out more in the next week or so

Thanks for all your prayers and support. 

We do finally have Ruthie home and there is one little lad who will be super excited and full of cuddles in the morning. 

Good night and God bless you all.
