wandering offward
Tiger and I tried out the informalness of his patienthood
We asked the nurse if we could leave the hospital for a cup of tea in a local cafe. The nurse described several places we could go, gave us directions, made sure Tiger had the ward’s phone number and then unlocked each of the 3 sets of doors to let us out. The nurse couldn’t have been more supportive, it was wonderful
Once outside Tiger held my arm. The Co-operative funeral care service across the road made me smile – for all your funerial needs, on the hospital doorstep
Tea and honey in a small atmospheric, indenpendent, cafe was all very pleasant. Tiger was also very pleasant company, albeit with the aid of antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs
5 days after arriving at the Maudsley Tiger was discharged into community care. He happily moved back to his peaceful home and has started coding again…

Oh good, Tiger is doing better!
Like you, that funeral place just outside would have amused me. Do you know that most people wouldn’t even have noticed it?
