Just a quick post today to say that my hospital appointment has been brought forward by a couple of days, partly as one of the side effects of the thalidomide that – to put it delicately – affects bowel function. I’m not expecting to be admitted, but it is always a possibility if I am dehydrated so I am taking an overnight bag, but no laptop.<\/p>\n
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible – I hope in all departments!<\/p>\n
O&U!<\/p>\n
Later…<\/p>\n
I wasn’t admitted, but the team at Guy’s want to see me again tomorrow and on Thursday, so I am staying in the flat for two nights.<\/p>\n
The day was uneventful, I saw Linny this morning for a quick chat, followed by an X-ray of my abdomen to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong. The the rest of the day was spent on a drip, as the (inevitable!) blood test showed that I am quite dehydrated. Tomorrow will be more of the same, and then I will see Linny again on Thursday to discuss the way ahead! (More DLI) Meanwhile I am stopping the Thalidomide until the gut problem is resolved.<\/p>\n
I am writing this update on my PDA, so the next update will be on Thursday. Until then… O&U!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
