Weird trip - more time in A&E than sightseeing
Not going to do a full blown TR but I'm siting in the lounge at DFW still with one more leg before home and thought I'd post a quick and dirty.
This was a quick 1 week in / out arrived last tues. and flying home today.
Had two terrific 'mini GTG's' - one with flanneruk in Oxford and one with PatrickLondon at St Martin's in the field, visited the Hockney at Tate Britain, saw Pirates of Penzance, had a lovey dinner at the Whistler @ Tate Britain . . . And spend 6 hours at st Thomas's hospital on Saturday and one hour at a walk in clinic in Lambeth/southwell on Sunday.
On the mend but that sure cut into my fun time . . .
Stayed at the Randolph in Oxford and in Dolphin square in pimlico, both were great.
But now all I want is to get home to my own bed with the stupid cat sleeping on my feet

What a strange idea to visit Hospitals.
Do you want Fodors to open a new forum ?
Cats are great company when forced into immobility.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Ps : you got a TR at the hospital ?
For non French TR is. Argh. Forget.

Answer only if you chose to, but just curious: All this due to an injury, like a fall, twisted ankle, or such...or some sort of nasty virus/bug?
Any charge for hospital services, since you are a visitor from USA and not a resident of the UK?

And why did you have to do the A&E ? Yes, a real bummer but hope all is good now.
I remember you saying the Randolph was on your bucket list. I've stayed there numerous times and booked there again this June. I have stayed at various other places in Oxford, but I keep returning to the Randolph.

Sorry that your trip was difficult due to time spent in A&E. Hope that you had a happy reunion with kitty. You are so right when you say that there is nothing like a cat snuggle to make you feel better.

Sorry to hear that you spent time in the A&E. Was it your ankle again? I seem to recall you had some difficulty on a previous trip or was it an illness? On our first trip to the UK we took DS to the A&E when he came down with a bout of food poisoning.
Welcome home and hoping to hear the good parts of the trip as well.
