Alan Morris in Barceloan University Hospital.

This was not where I had expected to be waking up in Barcelona. My leg is giving me a lot of pain now & they are treating it for an insect bite after last night's Doppler scan showed no thrombosis & the x-ray shows no breaks.

Barcelona Hospital.

I found the hospital very boring, apart from the cute nurses who seemed to like talking to me to better their English language skills. Paul came in around lunchtime after going for a Segway tour up the beach. Luckily, he brought me bottled water, as they don't give you any in Spanish hospitals. I'm told you must buy it from a machine in the corridor. Paul went to get me another bottle & whilst he was away, I was moved to another room. I had to share with an elderly Spanish man who liked loud Spanish game shows on the telly & to wipe bits of excrement & blood on the dividing curtain between us. His wife spent most of the day & night there, arguing with him & using the loo in the room. They appear to be well-matched, loud, rude to staff & annoying to me. It always irks me that I didn't learn to swear in Spain.

There was not a lot to do. I was bored & worrying about my mum.
