infected implant BUT the antibiotics are just working a
lot slower than we would like so I’m stuck in the hospital
day after day. If it hasn’t gone in the next 24 hours the
Surgeon will have a rethink. I’ve just had the experience
of trying to have a shower here.....

Oops! I just inadvertently gave my ward a performance of
Shirley Bassey’s Gold Finger. Rather embarrassed.

There’s one nurse who goes round singing everywhere n
trying to get every1 to join in so we were all having a little
half-hearted sing song, a few lines of a hymn and a few
lines of a country song and then sum1 said "ooh I know
Shirley Bassey Gold Finger" Only, this time, not only did
NO ONE else join in with the song, but Shirley Bassey is
right spot on my strong voice range so I belted out
"GOLD FIN-GAAAAAAAAAAAAR! HE’s the MAN!
The maaaaan with a MYYYYDUS TOUCH-Aah!" I was
met with a chorus of oohing and aaahing even from the
poor elderly lady next to me, who we thought had been
in a boredom induced coma for the last week managed to
lift her head up and take a startled look at me. Well, I'll be
lying back down again now.

How much can a boob hurt ffs?! We are hoping I don’t
have to go back to Theatre but we're not certain yet. Still
going on n on with antibiotics n hoping that alone does it
but it’s getting to be a total pain now. I just want it sorted
and over with, seriously fucked off with being stuck in
this total shit hole now.
