Well not a lot happened yesterday! We thought that on entering the hospital bloods would be taken and then he would be thrown straight into his chemo - no such luck. We were not warned about having 2 tests prior to bloods, prior to chemo so yesterday was spent waiting endlessly for a kidney function test to take place and bloods and then a heart test which now has to take place at 9.30am this morning! Its is not like we caught them unawares, theyve known he was coming in yesterday for a month so they couldve booked these tests. However, it wasnt done and we spent a day just waiting....... I managed to bring him home last night however which was a bonus that I was thankful for. Back to it today though. The psychologist popped into his room yesterday "to have a chat" as soon as I saw her badge I just melted. I dont know what came over me but I just started crying and she was looking at me like I had lost the plot. Perhaps I had, who knows. Everything that I had held inside me over the last few weeks just flowed in the form of tears. I am not even the patient my husband is. He said, I dont need you just yet but I think my wife might! With that, she handed me her card and said "call me". Just put me in a padded room and I can let it all hang out.!
Well, we are off to the hospital now so I shall blog you all later on todays events. Keep your fingers crossed that he gets the drugs today - thats one day closer to him coming home.
Bye for now, much love to you all,
