Apparently my new name, referred to affectionately, is Nurse Ratchet. I do not fit into the sympathetic role of nurses that was depicted in WWII movies, hovering over my patient, fluffing his pillow and whispering kind words of encouragement! Unfortunately for John, he is more likely to hear "get up!" or "why is it taking you so long?"
On the bright side, he is gradually spending more time in a vertical position. This morning, while being "encouraged" to drink his tea at the breakfast table, he managed to remove the dressing from his "wound".
Nurse Ratchet was not happy. The plan was to remove it after he did a walking tour of the house, oozed into the dressing and returned to a horizontal position for a session of "icing". Complicating the working schedule of Nurse Ratchet does not result in a happy nurse!! When will he learn?
Today Nurse Ratchet is taking a break from her duties to share lunch with a friend. She should return in a happier and calmer frame of mind!
