On a side note, spoke to a couple of nurses that I get on with this morning (there are a lot of staff on that ward that cover shifts... some shifts are better than others) and I was in good spirits... nervous but yeah, feeling confident to joke rather than just move from my room for the purpose of toilet breaks and food.

Both were very encouraging about the home leave, saying how well I was doing and that yes, things will still be hard, try to keep the positive steps moving more than the ones back.

One did mention that once discharged (she was laughing), if I came back she'd beat me... to which of course I responded with 'didn't know you wanted to get rid of me that bad' heh.
