Great job of coming off the nicotine Ffosse. I am pleased you are getting sleep. Can you keep the nurses from bothering you in the night to take your temperature and blood pressure?
That was most kind of you to think of others with those donations. I am sure they will be greatly appreciated.
I showed up for an appointment 12 hours early a few weeks ago. That is what the cancer has done for my confusion in the past few weeks.
Good to hear from you Surfer mom. Iām finished donating for now. The staff taking my obs at 2 am has never bothered me
I hope you are feeling better now Dreamy.x
Iāve had my 4 and a half hour blood transfusion and canāt really say I feel anything different. No doubt the doctor knows best.
Iām much more morose this evening; itās hard to invoke a positive thought. Iāll have been here a week tomorrow and am not missing home except my TV. There is a small one here pl gged into the wall, but youād have to be a bat to watch it.
Oh dear, think of happier times in the past Dreamy.
Think about your favourite places in Edinburgh.
Where are they?
Blackford Hill, one of 7 in the city. Morningside,the various areas.
But Iām thinking of wills, lawyers and the rest of what goes with dying.
Donāt dwell on that Dreamy. Plenty of time for all that.
Favourite places???x
A place to see this.
Woke up feeling a little odd and out of place.
Hope you feel better as the day as the day progresses. X
zzzzzzzzzā¦
Oh do not disturb. X
Iām awake now. Tea was good- chili con carne but otherwise Iāve had a good day for being in hospital. Iām sure thereās some milk in my fridge going off right now but am trying not to think about it.
Donāt worry about that Dreamy.
If it has a lid then chuck it out when home.
Glad you have had a good day.x
Thanks for the kind words, Ffosse.
Isnāt it strange how a hospital plays with your thinking?
I resolved it by making lists of things I wanted to do and planning a trip.
You should try doing some Google Earth flyovers of your favorite places!
Hope today is a better one.
Well yesterday was pretty good; itād be hard to beat. The vitamin and antibiotic infusions have done their jobs and Iām as well as could be expected.
I wish I could feel this well at home.
I try and break up the day by having chunks of reading, naps, the Internet on my phone etc.Pity I canāt go out as itās been nice here with temps up to 13c or 55f - way above Februaryās normal. Feels like Spring has arrived but I think March will be a cold one. Good to hear from you, Surfermom.
The doctor explained to me how the cancer affects my confusion. Itās not an infection as they had previously thought. This is rather disconcerting as it can be hard to recognise confused thoughts: to me they may be very real - like turning up for an appointment 12 hours early, or all the nightmares which the doctors misdiagnosed as infections. The doctors got a lot wrong with my case, but it was often a case of trial and error so I donāt blame them but it would be nice to be working from a position of strength more often.
