Now it really is a month since I was admitted – and escape is on the horizon! Even the weather has turned and the sun was gleaming brightly on St Paul’s when I awoke this morning!<\/p>\n
I had another good nigh’s sleep, and gentle awakening with the Obs, blood, followed by breakfast – which finally has the right ingredients – bacon and tomatoes!<\/p>\n
I was heartened to get a visit by two first year medical students who wanted to learn about the ‘hospital experience’ from a patient perspective. I hope you got what you wanted! This is a far cry from when I was a student, sharing with medical students whose first exposure to patients was during the first clinical year – 3 years after starting the degree course!<\/p>\n
I feel ready to go home, but I am still being weaned off the Cyclosporin in favour of the Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) which will take about another 48 hours. So provided nothing else untoward (like an infection) occurs, I hope to be out of here on Friday! I feel very tiggerish!<\/p>\n
Felicity went home yesterday afternoon, after spending the morning with me, but she was followed by a visit from Stuart, my next door neighbour from home, who is working in London for a while. After he left, I settled down with a book until 9 o’clock, when I watched the next in the series about complementary medicines on BBC2. Last night was all about herbal medicines, which was fascinating!<\/p>\n
So, without wishing to get my hopes up too high, 48 hours and counting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
