The latest issue with DHin hospital, can you help?

People have been so helpful.

He's still in hospital, still very confused but a bit more lucid if you catch him at the right time.

However, he's managed to lock himself out of his iPhone.

The McMillian nurse, who admitted IT is not her thing, says it's asking for his Apple ID. I don't use Apple and haven't a clue. DS1 has managed to get into his apple account using some guesswork, but to unlock it needs to get into his work emails, which none of us can do.

DH has his work laptop with him, a week ago he was using it and checking emails from his hospital bed, but now doesn't seem to be able to open it. He's getting very cross with himself because he can't make it do what he wants.

So our only way to contact him is via the bedside phone, which is extortionate and most annoyingly has a long message,which you're paying for, before you even get put through to the phone. Plus we can't send him texts etc. Which has been a way to let him know we're thinking of him (whether he knows it or not) when he hasn't been well enough to talk.

Any ideas how we get this phone unlocked?

I am so pleased you have been able to speak, I cannot imagine how horrendous this is for you.

That's great news. I am glad that he was well enough to speak to you. You must feel so much better for that.

The man has phoned me via Messenger more than a dozen times today, like a child showing off a new skill Grin I'm not entirely sure he remembers the earlier calls, but he is making much more sense and was able to chat with DS2.

Oh what a fabulous update, too. Fingers crossed that means the confusion is lessening in line with the infection getting sorted.

That's brilliant Toorapid! Sounds like the antibiotics are working on his infection. I hope you can get him home soon.
