My husband went for a blood test on Monday, he had a slight fall in the morning as his back was giving him such pain that he was collapsing as he walked. His consultant refused to let him go home as he couldn't walk, so he was put in a wheel chair and there he stayed until about 6.
He is sedated and on anti-biotics as he contracted a chest infection even though he didn't go into any shops on Saturday. I now realise how easy it is going to be for him to get any form of infection and even more so once he is having the stem cell treatment.
Thank you again for all the emails I have received wishing us luck and best wishes. I hope anybody else who has just been diagnosed or is just starting out on the long road all the best, keep your family close to you and hug and kiss each other whenever you can.
