Day 2: Post-op Part 2

It wasn't long after I had got home when Aly started sending updates about how things had deteriorated again. Charlie was complaining that he felt like he was going to throw up.

Aly tried to get a nurse but it was shift change and, although the hospital never admits this, you never want urgent help at shift change.

With nobody answering the phone, Aly took to shouting in the corridor that she needed a nurse.

The nightshift nurse apologized and got the throw up bag for Charlie and things calmed down again for about half an hour.

Then he threw up on himself and his bed.

They washed him off and settled him again and he had another difficult night. (I slept comfortably, thanks for asking. Nice and quiet and no lingering smell of puke).
