Bertiebassett. 2010

Less than one minute read time.

Well despite me not wanting it to arrive it's here. I can't sleep again Bert has been asleep since we came back from Haematology at 5pm yesterday. Because we went to the Panto on Wednesday he was exhausted. he has woke up twice for a cup of tea and fallen asleep before I have finished making it.

They Consultant seems to think that he will need a transfusion so he will need to go in on Sunday if that is the case.

Confusion and agitation is still a problem, The confusion I think is made worse with his pain control. The agitation and panic attacks they are trying to control with new medication, which so far is not really making a difference so might need to get that changed next week.

OT finally arrived with an electronic bath chair, raised toilet seat and a mattress raiser which is like a vacuum cleaner it is so noisy. I don't know what the neighbours think we are up to in the middle of the night. ! OT will also put in a bannister when the joiners come back to work next week.

Other than all of that he is fine.

Love Teri

    Morning Teri! Well here we are again!

    Sometimes look in the mirror and wonder at how I can look OK after so little sleep. Like you said it is a shame we don't live closer, at least we would have some company. xx

    Hi Teri!

    Glad you made the panto okay!  My hubby was playing on old year's night (he plays in a band) and he was desperate for me to come but I didn't think I could last until 1am.  However I made myself go and thoroughly enjoyed it - got to bed at 4am and the whole time I was out I forgot about my AML.

    Reading your blogs does really make me think I have to make more of an effort to do things I would normally do while I still can.

    Thinking of you as always.

    Love Christine xx
