Princess of Wales

Let's hope it is not too serious op and it is successful. I think the main point about her staying in hospital is that she has three young children It is hard to rest at home with them that is why she should be allowed respite from that responsibility. for instance when I had four hour op for cancer and was sent home the next day (to no-one) the best help was that my daughter looked after my dogs. You can't afford any responsibility when you are recovering. That's why it's best she is in the clinic and can just concentrate on herself. It's hard for mothers of young children not to put them first.

I very much doubt that POW will be in hospital for 10-14 days- that timescale has most likely been given to allow for any potential problems which then wouldn't need to be explained. Should she be discharged in 7 days or so, which is what I expect, then everyone's a winner and hasn't she made a wonderful recovery! It's the same as saying you'll get a job done in 5 days - take 8 and you're not great at what you do, take 5 and you're a hero so always quote for 8!

My thoughts exactly. It’s far easier to take her out of the picture at the beginning to allow plenty of time for any wee complications.

My tablet can't spell.

I have no idea why the Proncess of Wales has had an operation and is in hospital for what some think is "too long" 🤔 after surgery.
However, I do remember a friend being admitted for an emergency operation for a twisted bowel years ago and he was in hospital for at least two weeks (possibly more) afterwards.

Catherine will be in hospital for as long as her doctors think is right.

Excuse typos

It's called compassionate leave, annsixty

Many firms allow that for their employees; it is concessionary but my employer kindly allowed me tome ff for a family emergency.

annsixty you place £££ on your compassion

Ok I am leaving this now.

Your post was totally lacking in compassion.

Believe me GSM I am actually a very compassionate person and that remark is uncalled for.

So sad I have offended some people.
It is my opinion and I am fully entitled to express it.
Just as you are fully entitled of course to dismiss it as unpleasant.
That was not my intention.

No different to many MPs

What a very unpleasant comment. His wife is staying in hospital for a prolonged period, and is unlikely to return to duties until after Easter, which is hardly indicative of a minor problem. Nothing has, however, been ‘admitted’..

He has postponed some engagements - in similar circumstances a paid employee (which he is not) might be given compassionate leave. We don’t know which engagements have been postponed - they may have been such as to take him away from home; remember that he has three young children who need his reassurance and presence whilst their mother is in hospital. Some compassion on your part wouldn’t go amiss.

Two houses are multiple houses ?

Isn't anything more than one a multiple?

Two houses are multiple houses ?

I am going to admit I haven’t read through this topic however,
If Prince William can’t do the job he is paid very very highly for along with accepting the many privileges , multiple houses etc he should give it all up.
Very few H’s can take time off work for longer than their holiday entitlement while their wife is ill, .it isn’t as if he doesn’t have all the help he needs.
Unless of course his wife’s illness is much worse than has been admitted.

Thanks Rosie51

In fact I thought I was agreeing with Gwyllt's tongue-in-cheek comments.

But there you go! 😁

Oscar Wilde, that famous wit, said "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence"

Callistemon I didn't read your post as sarcastic though, just a tongue in cheek amusing comment.

I have no idea why you are attacking me.

Please stop.

The working from bed comments reminded me of lockdown 2020. My Dil is a teacher and was teaching her students via zoom. She had to lay down the law on the first morning when she was faced with bare chested teenage boys propped up in bed with their laptops for the lesson!

PofW reported today as 'working from bed': yup, that's the way to go! Much better than working from home.

Good for him. You're just envious..

Erm I missed the announcement that Cathrtibe went in for a sex change??

If needing medical care have them come to your home ?

The thing about working from home is that you could be working from bed - who would know?

Wear a nice top and put on a background that looks like a library full of learned books and no-one on a conference call or in your class of students would know where you are!
