Tricky week in a hospital room (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awkward

'tricky' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'week in a hospital room' is the wordplay.
'week' becomes 'wk' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'hospital room' becomes 'ward' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'ward'='award'
'wk' inserted inside 'award' is 'AWKWARD'.

(Other definitions for awkward that I've seen before include "Hard to deal with" , "Clumsy or maladroit" , "Stiff and clumsy" , "Clumsy - problematic" , "Inelegant; tricky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
