The day has finally arrived and has been somewhat of a whirlwind. Whythenshaw hospital is that large to get to a certain appointment i had to hire two sherpas , (porters will not take you to this destination as i found out today ).it was at the other end ofcthe hospital , i was literally imagining some spooky haunted department that strong men and women fear to tread but instead i found the most lovely lady you could ever wish to meet ( diane was her name) I have been taken care of very well and tomorrow its round two ,a little word of advice those decorative stones at the frontof main entrance are not wheel chair friendly they shake you up so much all my loose chsnge fellout of my oockets or perhaps that's their purpose,
Good night everyone ,sleep well and pleasent dreams
