Day Nine on day fourteen! (Wiiiiiiiiiii!)

So, I've been away for a few days and that's had a knock on effect with blogging of course, having failed miserably to set up mobile phone blogging (no idea why the damn thing won't work! Buggerit!) So, here we are on day fourteen with a ninth entry for the month - still ahead of my usual efforts but now five entries down on target... hmmmm!

To make matters worse, I'm working 12 hours today - yes, I got up just that little bit early to get a post in here before I start my shift! I'm that committed to you, my delightful readers - SO LEAVE ME A COMMENT - just so I know this isn't all in vain!

So, what have I to tell you? Well, I'm more than happy to relay that after some months of waiting for a decision, our ward bid for a Wii, Wii Fit, TV & Stand through charitable funds (WRVS - bless 'em) has been approved! This isn't just a bit of fun for the nurses on breaks, but to me gives us a chance to provide some much needed exercise and general 'something to do' for those of our patients who end up in long term isolation. Nothing worse than staring at four walls all day? Now they'll be able to bowl, box & baseball, twist themselves into any combination of Yoga poses, tightrope walk & hula!

Am pretty chuffed at this outcome. It'll have a real impact on some of those people who most need the stimulation. It also gives me a buzz knowing that I managed to submit an application worthy of consideration by a team who vet hundreds of such applications... Go Me! Go Wii!

PoMo = 9/14
WriMo = 20948

Congratulations on the Wii - it sounds like it will benefit both staff and patients.

Keep up the blogging. My life is so dull I need to live vicariously through yours. ;)
