Saturday 26th January…And home
Jan 26th 2019PeterGetting My Life Back! & More treatment!
Yes! Made it home! It did take 4 1/2 hours for my ‘party bag’ to be delivered, which was frustrating, but at least I had ordered an evening meal so I didn’t go hungry, but I was getting a little impatient! But Katie and Chris collected me at 7pm and whisked me home where I could settle down and relax. Of the 25 days in January so far, 22 have been spent in hospital!
But I have come away with steroids for the weekend, and the supporting tablets, and a return visit to the clinic on Monday, where bloods will be checked and I hope the direction of the next stage of treatment will be determined. Katie suggests I take an overnight bag with me on Monday – I might well do that!
But nice to be home and sorting the house out. I slept fairly well (although it seems very quiet after the hospital ward!) and today I have done my washing, made some sup and baked 4 loaves of bread – powerful stuff these steroids! Getting a bit of normal life back. And I also have my parents visiting for the weekend!
So it has been quite a month so far – not at all how I expected the year to start, and it has been a bit of a roller coaster. The speed at which this developed has been a shock (no evidence of it at the November check-up) but at least it has been caught and a plan is in progress. It has been odd loosening the links with Guys and the wonderful people there, but good to be with the lovely people at Southampton, and makes treatment much easier for me.
I will continue posting as the treatment progresses, and of course if you wish to add comments, I’m always delighted to receive them! (first comment is held for moderation as an ant-spam precaution)
So – Onwards and Upwards! 🙂
