As some may know I have recently spent six days in The Acute Surgical Receiving Unit at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee being discharged on Wednesday evening.
I have said elsewhere (mainly commenting on Sir Hugh's blog - conradwalks.blogspot.co.uk) that from the moment I arrived at the Unit until I left, the care and kindness received from everyone - and I do mean everyone - was exceptional. The NHS at its absolute best.
Many thanks to Conrad (Sir Hugh - see above for blog address), MartinB (phreerunner.blogspot.co.uk) and AlanS (alansloman.blogspot.co.uk) for their good wishes. While in hospital I was following Sir Hugh as best I could on his long walk from Berwick to Somerset, drooling over his description of his meals at various places while I was 'nil by mouth' for three days, when disaster struck him and he broke his arm. Good luck with the op Conrad and may you quickly be back in action.
For me, thoughts are now turning to the soothing balm of the hills:
