I WAKE up briefly a few times during the night…then about 7.30am I wake again as the nurse changes my drip. I get her to disconnect me for a minute so I can go to the toilet.
Soon after another doc comes to see how I’m doing and ask a few questions. One of mai. Issues around all this is that different health board areas can’t access my records form other areas…or the doc…so everyone we see has to get the full story, background etc.
There’s word of another scan and maybe even an endoscope (urrrgh). I’m feeling well enough to check my phone and realise that even if I do get out today it’s unlikely I’ll be home in time –or feel like – doing my usual Monday night WIldcats’ livestream on Facebook.
I do a wee livestream from my bed explaining and then go back to sleep. I doze on and off all morning then find there’s a change of plan and I’m not needing scan after all. So I’m allowed to try eating something.
I have soup and a sandwich and it stays down. Things are looking a little brighter.
Margaret arrives mid-afternoon and the nurse takes out my cannula so I can get washed and dressed then we have a chat with the doc before heading homeward.
I sleep most of the way in the car and try and catch up on a few bits and bobs when we get home. Turns out Mikey’s coming to stay tonight which isn’t the most convenient but never mind. I have a shower then a little bit of chicken and a couple of wee potato’s and some brocolli then go to bed.
