Wednesday

Another slight change of plan – I am now back home! The results of the blood test this morning showed that I was more hydrated, so I only had another litre of saline, instead of the anticipated two, so as I was finshed buy half past one, I decided I might as well return home. I still have to go up tomorrow morning for the outpatient clinic, so we will see what that brings.

I have another carrier bag full of pills and potions to try and sort out the gut problem although there are cautious signs for optimism, but no need to go into the details! Suffice to say that peristalsis is required!

It was good to see Orla and her team again, and today I met up with Melissa, who you may recall I mentioned during my steroid treatment on Stanley ward.

So onwards and upwards – although the upwards bit seems very steep at the moment!

    Good Luck with the bag of pills and potions and with the oupatient trip tomorrow. Is your diary ever empty?

    Lots of love,
    Liz

    PS Thanks, Richard for your explanation about “Goji”!

    Steep! Just another challenge for you to conquer as an inspiration to us all. AND what about the TV? Now that Winter is here I can (need) an excuse to stay in with the TV.

    Until then we’ll have to make do with watching this: http://www.westga.edu/~lkral/peristalsis/index.html

    Not at all gory

    Crossed again

    Oh. My last comment has vanished into the ether.

    The gist was that although the incline may seem steep it is just another challenge over which you will triumph and continue to be an inspiration to us all.

    Back on TV I say so that I may be extra lazy and watch daytime TV

    All crossed up.
