More starvation diet today - clear fluids until midday.

Got to the hospital, answered their questions, completed the forms, sat around for a while.

More sitting around, cup of weak cool sweet tea, then released. Creatrix, the darling, had brought along some biscuits, and I got a Ribena and a Twix from the hospital shop; then home to real tea. Creatrix is now cooking our steaks, and our very own small crop of new potatoes.

Thank you everyone for all your hugs, support &c. You are good people!
