My Granddad is Keeping Busy

Got up at 9.30am. Quite a nice morning. Doctor came to see me with note. In quite a chatty mood. Stayed about 10 minutes. Leg ok he said.

Got up at 9.15am. Not a bad morning. Dot, Ron and Jane gone to Len’s for the day but Girlie and Alan came for tea and stayed until 8pm.

Rain today. A nasty day. Dot and Jane came. Ron gone to the match at Birmingham. Leg seems to be doing ok. Too wet to go for a walk today.

(West Brom 1 – Liverpool 2. Roger Hunt and Ian St John scored)

Got up at 9.30am. A nice sunny day but wind cool. John brought the wages. Met him on the steps. Said he couldn’t come in. Too busy.

Leg seems to be slowly improving. Had no one visiting today so had a nice quiet day on our own. Went for a walk down the road. Nothing to report.

Got up at 9.15am. Dot and Jane came on the 10.20 bus. Went back on the 4.45 so had a nice day with Jane. Ron has gone to watch the match.

Went to see Partridge this morning. He said I should walk without sticks. He wants a Hell of a lot. Didn’t take plaster off. Got home at 1pm.

Got up at 9.15am. leg seems a bit better this morning. Old Jim Biggs came to see me this morning. He will be 90 on 23rd of March. Nell rang hospital again.

A heavy frost last night. Leg seems to improve slowly. Dot, Ron and Jane came for tea. Frank and Dora came in the afternoon. It makes a bit of a change.

Knee about the same today. It seems a slow job but reckon I must not get impatient. No word from Clatter yet about next visit. Len came to see me.

New Year’s day today. I hope it will be a better one for me than last year. Ossie came to see me at night. Cordon brought my wages with young Bill.

Got up at 9.30 again. Last day of the old year today. Hope that ’65 will be a better one for us. Eric came to see me at dinner time and Bill Edwards and Charlie Birch at night.

Got up at 9.30 a.m. Leg feels a bit better today. No visitors today. A nice day but a bit on the cold side. A week today since I came out of hospital. Time does fly.

Got up at 9.30 again. Leg about the same. A week today since I had the clamps off so mustn’t be in too big of a hurry. No one came today. Paid for Xmas birds £3.11.3.

Got up at 9.30. Leg seems a bit better today. Howarth and Doc came to see me at dinner time, and brought six bottles of beer. Very nice of them.

Snowing, still the gang going home this morning. Jane’s cold much better but Dot still got her’s. Managed to get upstairs today. Quite an achievement.

Leg about the same today. Couldn’t get on it much yesterday. Started to snow in the afternoon. Lou and Les went straight home. Don’t blame them.

Christmas Day today. Able to walk a little bit better today. Lou and Les came for dinner. Nice to see them but a lot of work for Nell. Dot, Ron and Jane came.

Woke up at home this morning. First time for over five weeks. A bit rough walking on my leg as yet but early days, I suppose. I had a nice, quiet day in the chair.

Got up today after Partridge made his round. Feel very weak but going home, thank God. Ambulance came about 3.30. Got home about 5. Les helped me in.

Today is another red letter day. I had the plaster changed and those awful clamps and splint taken off. Tomorrow, please God, I can walk on it and get home to Nell.

It is five weeks today since I came into the hospital. Please Got, it will the the last. Dear Nell came again tonight. I hope and pray I will soon be back home with her.

Yet another Sunday has come but it seems just like any other day. Nell and Dot came to see me which was very pleasant. Harry Welch also came to see Len. Also, Len’s wife.

Doctor Lewis came round this morning and told me that they would take the plaster off and go home Wednesday. No visitors last night but saw Mrs Welch , been to visit Len.

Another day as the others. Sid Faulkner came to see me this a.m. and gave me an ounce of Four Square. Nell and Dot came tonight. So nice to see them both.

A day just like all the others. Nothing unusual happened. At night, Les Cottrel, Ern Williams and Bill Smith came to see me. Mrs Welch and her daughter came to see Len Davies.

Partridge never came round today so I’m as wise as ever. Nell came and all will be fine between us when I get home. Les Davies from Puddington came in today.

They never came to change my plaster but maybe all for the best. Keith came to see me tonight. Nell never came. I don’t know why. May have missed the bus.

A day much the same as the others. Dot and Ron came to see me at night. Not much news. Hoping to have plaster taken off tomorrow but I have my doubts.
