St Pau Hospital, Barcelona

“There is more to life than increasing its speed.” ~ (Mahatma Gandhi ) Yesterday in Barcelona was a slow day for me, but perhaps the most important one since arriving here. I was rushing to get out, fell in the shower and cut my head close to where I'd had the subdural haematoma op. In a panic and thinking I'd set off another internal bleed, everyone else was fortunately calmer. I spent 8 hours at St Pau hospital and was given a CT scan – all was OK. I had plenty of time to watch the people around me, patients and health staff. The equal of our UK NHS here. Sorry – perhaps better. Just had to show my EU health card for treatment. Today I think I'll just walk around the streets and visit my grandson – slowly.
