Thursday – home tomorrow?
Feb 9th 2006PeterHospital Stay
It looks a gin clear day outside – not a cloud in the sky, and the sun shining strongly, but it also looks very cold – even the temperature in my room has dropped – to just over 25C!
I’m feeling good this morning; we have had the usual start to the day, Obs, bloods etc. Breakfast was hot when it arrived, and all the indications are that tomorrow will be the day. There is still a little concern over liver function, one of the blood markers is abnormal, but the other one is OK, so I am drafting this while I am waiting for a porter to take me down to ultrasound for a quick examination.
I think the deciding factor on whether I go home or not will be how my Cyclosporin levels are falling off – definitely a question for the ward round!
I still can’t quite believe that it is over a month since I was admitted – I feel more than ready to go!
…Just returned from the ultrasound on my liver – all looking normal, so another tick in the box!
Yesterday afternoon passed quietly – I went back to the chair outside the room to sit in the sun and read a book. I had a reduced does of IV Cyclosporin, part of the weaning process! I had one visitor in the evening, a friend from Bristol who happened to be in London working, and then a reasonably early night, and another good night’s sleep. The 2 o’clock Obs seem to have been dropped, so apart from getting up to get rid of excess liquid, I slept really well
