Hi everyone,
I haven't blogged for a long time so much like everyone on this page has days when I guess we don't have time. My husband is due to get his balloon kyphoplasty in a week and then in another week he is due to have another endoscopy to see if his duodenal ulcer has healed hopefully it has and then the dexamethasone can complete the mix. He has not been allowed to have the cyclophosphamide recently as his white cells over the last two week have been below 2 but tomorrow we start again and the thalidomide is going up to 100g per day.
With all this going on my mother in law died today aged 93 and my husband Colin is determined to travel to her funeral but as a carer you get so scared after the last infection and having to be in hospital I just don't want him to go so we will ask his consultant tomorrow. The whole family have said they understand completely but I know he needs closure, she was a bubbly lady who enjoyed life to the full.
They say everything comes in threes so I was wondering what else could possibly be around the corner?
I hope that the next time I blog things will be looking up.
