I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n
But I digress \ud83d\ude42 …<\/p>\n
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\u2019m 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!<\/p>\n
That decision will test with the haematology team, so I hope the ward round won\u2019t be too late! Watch this space!<\/p>\n
Onwards and upwards! <\/p>\n
Update.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t popped in to see Rachael on my mat back to Waterloo, I\u2019d have been on the train home before I was contacted to return – so I would have got home then!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m going to have another try tomorrow, as I expect to start treatment after that and leaving will be a definite no at that point.<\/p>\n
Anyway, as ever, Onwards and Upwards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
