No tonight, Georgiephine! Escape most unlikely this evening. The four terribly complicated rocket-science procedures described above have not been done in the ten hours since a doc said she could go today. They WERE going to deprive her of food but I had a meal pre-prepared just in case which I have delivered to main reception (still banned from anywhere else). She may still go hungry if they refuse to come down from aloft to collect it. Have not contacted consultant at her request – the AK47 problem described above rules the day!
