This 8 hour time difference to the UK is a bit frustrating sometimes. I just called my mother’s ward at the JR to see how she’s doing; it’s 11:45pm here in Seattle, 7:45am over in Oxford. Of course the nursing staff is in the middle of morning hand-over, so it’s hard to get their attention, and if I wait until they’re sorted out it’ll be getting on for 1am here! [Sigh] Anyway, I was able to exchange messages with Lorna via the nurse, and things seem to be going OK. She should be moved to rehab (what used to be called a “convalescent home”*) on Monday.
