Ian Appleton - Update

Hello all. Thank you Pam for informing us of Ian's situation. I took it upon myself to buy a get well card this morning on the way to Henfold and the "A" & "B" grouped signed with best wishes. Striking while the iron is hot I then rode all the way to the hospital and Ian immediately recognised me which was reassuring and it did not seem to have an adverse effect like he died of shock!
I was able to help him organise himself to get a shave and find his toothbrush etc. He was sitting in a chair and seemed quite alert and almost normal. While I was there Maureen rang his mobile and had a talk to him. Ian explained that he now had the Flue and I was asked to wear a face mask by the nurse.
At Henfold Ann Bath signed the card and said that she (+ Steve) planned to visit him on Friday.
I asked Ian if it was OK to do a Blog update and he was quite happy for that.
Ian is located in a side room as you enter the ward on the RHS with en-suit facility & the details are exactly as Pam described in her blog yesterday evening.
Good exercise for me 45 miles round trip.
