Thinking of you Ffosse, and willing you to feel better soon.
OK, Iām feeling a little better but not much. I slept well but am just so tired all the time. I probably wonāt see another doctor until Monday now. Everyone says to me that they thought I had got out but I have to tell them that it was only for a day.
Sleep is restorative. Hope you get lots of it, as it also passes the boring time in hospitalā¦
So glad to see this post, Dreamy.
Just rest if you can.
Iāve been doing just that: resting. Thereās nothing else to do in here.At least they havenāt enjoined me into switching rooms yet. Iāve been in this one bed for a record 4 and a bit days now.
Oh, Dreamy I do know you are so poorly and fed up.
Hugs are sent.
A much better weekend so far, I seem to be able to sleep well at night plus have little sleeps during the day. Have had 2 visitors who have cheered me up a bit.
Iām going to get out mid next week. The past few times of discharge, Iāve been readmitted very quickly and donāt want that to happen again. Iām still convinced it was because they were cancer procedures but thereās nothing quite as desperate as going home then becoming seriously ill with infection hours later.
That, plus having to keep 2 hospital bags full of clothes and toiletries always at the ready. At least itās not like a regular 999 call - I phone a hotline number, tell them my temperature is 39.7, describe a few more symptoms and they send out the ambulance.
Yay to sleep! Nice to hear that getting sorted is well organised when you need it.
Just saw a doctor. Theyāre switching my intravenous drug for an oral one plus giving me a new antibiotic drug for my chest.
She said that I could probably go home tomorrow, which is great news.
I just hope that by 5 the next morning Iām not vomiting with a temperature.
I have just read through Dreamy.
Iām glad you are able to keep us updated.
I can only pray things improve for you.
Really good to hear that you could be home tomorrow Ffosse.
For how long, I wonder. Iām nervous, not because I want to stay in hospital but because of the last two times I was discharged, readmission within 12 - 20 hours, feeling much worse.
Of course, you are worried. But maybe all be fine this time Dreamy. Stress will only make things worse. Yes I know I am a one to talk. But you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, things will improve my lovely friend.
I am trying my best to make you smileā¦

But last time you had just had your chemo, and I know thatās only a few days ago, but hopefully your immune system will be just a little bit stronger now. Fingers crossed for you.
Thanks, folks. I have good neighbours who will go to the shops or chemist for me if I canāt make it, or just for having a cup of coffee with. Plus, I have a new antibiotic to take. Itās just so distressing waking up at 5 with those symptoms.
Iām going to read and watch TV for a few days (much like Iāve been doing in hospital) but at home. At least this time I had my own room for the whole of my stay. Will be nice to type on my laptop instead of this phone.
Had a lengthy phobe call with my sister, Anne this afternoon.Sheās been having another of her migraines which canāt be fun, but both the guys I first made friends with in hospital in February visited me. Theyāre undergoing their own cancer journeys but seem well and upbeat at the moment.
You seem much more positive now Dreamy.
That warms my heart.
I will bid you Good Night and I will check this thread tomorrow.
I hope you sleep well.
Hope there is a little more improvement today, Ffosse, and you are home soon.
Thanks. I should be going home around 1 so fingers crossed. Iāll still be on two different antibiotics which is reassuring in that I donāt think Iāll be catching any bugs for a while.
My left hand and arm periodically flare up with pain where that doctor took blood last week and accidentally hit a nerve. But Iāve got strong painkillers if it troubles me too much.
