An update as to where we are with L.
I have been to see her each day since I last updated you all. She had quite a comfortable weekend and she is improving steadily.
About 15 minutes ago, she was moved from what they call the assessment unit, where there were lots of people, to a room of her own. That has its benefits but it also has a number of disadvantages. It means she will be quite isolated.
From my perspective, there are huge mobility issues. The assessment unit could be easily located. This will definitely not be anywhere near as easy as the hospital is large. But I'll cross that bridge tomorrow. I do have Aira available and they may be able to give me a hand.
So tomorrow evening I should have plenty to tell you, good or bad.@brian_hartgen Hi Brian, we are thinking about you both and we wish Lulu a very speedy recovery. I fully appreciate how difficult hospitals and travelling to hospitals can be. Mary was in hospital for six weeks three years ago. The most difficult things were transport and getting around the hospital buildings.

So tomorrow evening I should have plenty to tell you, good or bad.@brian_hartgen I have a lot of experience using AIRA to navigate in medical facilities. They are excellent, especially when using it with the Meta smart glasses, since you can navigate hands-free. The only time I've run into issues is if the facility has areas where cell service is problematic or nonexistent.

@kevinrussell Thanks Kevin. You are right. Both of those things are quite tricky. I hope Mary is recovering now.

@DavidGoldfield @brian_hartgen When you use IRA to get around, I take it you use a cane? I know this may be a stupid question.

@boogiechild @DavidGoldfield Oh absolutely. You must use a mobility aid. All they are going to do is tell you what is around you or read things for you. You must use a mobility aid for safety and to alert other people including motorists.

@brian_hartgen @DavidGoldfield That's what I thought. Sorry for sounding stupid.

@brian_hartgen @DavidGoldfield makes a whole lot of sense.

Glad to hear that L is comfortable and gradually improving, apart from the mobility and isolation issues which need to be resolved! It's understandable that hospitals don't allow flowers, because of the risk of what germs they might bring in: that happens in French hospitals as well. Anyway, keep us posted when you have further news.

@boogiechild @DavidGoldfield @brian_hartgen Do you mean Ara? Yes, you still need your dog or cane.
