Good News

Frank's had another busy day with various visitors. Cynzia, the Thompsons Welfare Rep came to the Hospital in order to translate for Dad but was not required today as Dr James was also present and was able to communicate with the Doctors himself. Dr James was able to tell Frank about the results of the two ECG'S he had taken during the night and this morning.

The first ECG showed Frank's heart was behaving as it should. The second one picked up the slight arrhythmia again. Dr James told Frank that the arrhythmia could settle down in a couple of days or take anything up to two weeks, depending on his heart and the treatment given to resolve the irregularity. The Italian Doctors are still not overly concerned by this.

Frank was then given the news we've all been waiting for - he's to be discharged from the hospital and can return to England where he'll receive further treatment. Frank was like a Cheshire Cat and as you can imagine is very pleased about this. The arrangements are being put into place at present as he'll travel from the Hospital straight to the airport with his personal physician Dr James. He will stay with Frank throughout the journey and deliver him to a UK Hospital. We also know that Beryl and Elizabeth will be on the same flight, courtesy of the travel insurance company. Frank will then be transferred to a UK Hospital (awaiting to hear which one) where he'll be assessed and sorted out!
