13th-17th December 2025... Dave hospitalised!

Cloud in the valley 


Dave complaining of stomach pains for several days, not eating much at all.
We go to emergency in Castres (which although further away, is definitely the best)
We wait 4 hours to see a doctor, it a Saturday!!
When we do see a doctor , they diagnose that he has inflamed gallbladder AND appendix!
They want to operate that night, but as he is taking blood thinners , they wait until Sunday morning.

He texted me at 14h on Sunday 14th and said.... I've been done! ๐Ÿ‘

Later I start recieving, photos of his..."not too bad " 3 course meals....



Day one soup and yoghurt!

Day two soup and crackers.


Below a series of photos from his one bed en suite room, but he can't get out of bed yet!

Note the sunshine ๐ŸŒž

Day three...so hungry forgot to take before picture ๐Ÿคฃ


Meanwhile torrential rain at Cailho...Karl brings me shopping and brings in wood for the fire.

Day four....

Still raining at Cailho 

Still sunny ☀️ in Castres !

Day five..burger ๐Ÿ” 

Look at the sun ☀️ ๐Ÿ˜ก

Back home.... keeping warm and dry.

Last hospital meals...

He's back home and has a nurse visit every night for a week to give him an injection and change his 6 dressings.
