No lie in today!
Jan 15th 2006PeterHospital Stay
A good night’s sleep in the new room – well as good as you can get with the 4 hourly observations (I wonder what happens if anything occurs in the 3 hours 55 minutes between…) However it was compounded this morning by having my weight checked at the 6 o’clock observation. I can just about hold out an arm for the blood pressure cuff, and have my temperature taken without waking up too much, but getting out of bed to stand on some scales…!
So far the morning has been uneventful – the second lot of chemo has just started, and I have just cleaned up and changed the dressing round the Hickman line, so time to attack yesterday’s crossword.
I would welcome any comments – I don’t know how interesting this is – my day is pretty humdrum, and there isn’t much excitement, so if it is really tedious, do say so!

Hi Peter, just discovered your site. Sounds like you are settling in well, and I hope the therapy is going well. Our meeting last week down at the Houses of P was a continuation of the meeting you attended last year, but this time the invited guests were MP’s not Lords. Personally I would have hoped for a greater attendance of the Great & the Good, instead of the great unwashed, but there were two parallel health debates running at the same time so we did well to get what we got!! The message was duly put across, and further meeting planned, which |I hope you will be able to attend. Andrew Bonser sends his very best, and hopes you will be out and about asap. Speak again soon TG
