Wednesday 9th January… Day release?
Jan 9th 2019PeterHospital Stay & Life on hold!
I’m writing this a bit earlier today – when I first started it back in 2006, most of noteworthy activities were in the morning, but this stay has had things going on pretty much all day.
But I digress 🙂 …
I had a quiet night (apart from at 6am when the blood pressure machine fell off its perch!). I had another bag is saline overnight but now I am washed, fed and IV free. I think all the diagnostic tests have been completed and just waiting for the biopsy results, so I’m hoping I might get to go home for 24 hours so I can ensure everything that needs turning off has been and more importantly, pick up some clothes to see me through the treatment phase!
That decision will test with the haematology team, so I hope the ward round won’t be too late! Watch this space!
Onwards and upwards!
Update.
Well, the escape plan failed! Annoying because after the drip was taken down this morning, nothing else happened until a new one was put up this evening. I could easily have nipped home and back in the 6 hours.
The reasoning was that my calcium level is 3.1, which is regarded as life threatening. However it was 4.2 last week when I was admitted and must have been elevated for some time before that. The irony is that if I hadn’t popped in to see Rachael on my mat back to Waterloo, I’d have been on the train home before I was contacted to return – so I would have got home then!
I’m going to have another try tomorrow, as I expect to start treatment after that and leaving will be a definite no at that point.
Anyway, as ever, Onwards and Upwards!
