my son will get results of his scan on 1st dec
who will be proved right ? the oncologist who thinks its a tumour? or the surgeon who thinks its "something" from the op?
just waiting again ....trying not to worry too much !
tuesday was an eventful day
i stayed the night at pauls (slept on the settee) because they had to leave around 6.30am
my little grandson (4) had a really restless night ...... he was awake from 2am till about 4.30am .... we were all taking it in turns going in to him trying to settle him ....i finally managed to get him back to sleep after taking my pillow and pretending to sleep with him ........ he is only little but there isnt much room in a single bed for nanny ....if i balance on the edge of the bed sideways .... i can cope with about 10mins before i fall off !
so i reckon i fell asleep around 5am .....then 1hour later kitchen light /kettle went on ....bless her helen was trying so hard to be quiet
6.30ish they left for the 2hour drive to hospital ...... i went back to sleep .... i did think .....oh no i havent put alarm on my mobile ...... but was too tired to even care
woke suddenly !!!! cripes what time is it ..... dived off settee ......8am !!!!
not too bad only 15mins late ....... got kids up /all washed dressed fed n watered ....... cept for me i didnt have time for a cuppa tea!!!!
got to school as kids were going in!
took grandson into playground heading for his classroom ..... a "gaurdsman" popped outta door opposite ..... waving arms telling me (i think) that i couldnt go any further ......g/son looked up at me really scared ...i was saying its ok to go in with him....another mum n kid turned up ...the gaurd was saying same to her ...... with that g/son turned and legged it in towards his classroom
wow !!! i was so proud of him i thought he was going to have a right screaming fit !!!!!
got back to pauls ..... key in lock .... NO GO!!! ....i was locked out - now ive been told these locks -if you leave a key in the inside the door wont unlock ? but - they never leave the key in the door !!!!! or did they today - just for me?
luckily i had taken my fone - so rang my hubby - help! damsel in distress
15mins later ...my knight in shining armour arrived ..... after a few goes at the door -hey presto it opened !!!! (he gave lock a good spaying of WD40 - hopefully that wont happen again) had a quick tidy up /wash-up make beds etc then went home ...... i needed some sleep!
but - yes youve guessed i couldnt settle i felt like ???? my head was like mush!
we had a fone call from hospital to say could we go back later to pauls and pick the kids up from school at t-time ? they were running late paul had had an allergic reaction to the scan dye and was in observation room
WHAT ??????? all the scans etc hes had this never happened before !
picked the kids up ......gave them tea ..... mr N cooked pasta for paul n helen for when they got home ...... they finally arrived home 6.15pm
bless them nearly 12 hours !!!! on the go
paul looked awful his eyes were still puffed up and red he was so pale
helen was just creamcrackered! ....... he had spent 5 hours in recovery had been given steriods to help ease the allergic reaction
and they have to go back 1st dec for results
so now ...... we just wait ...... again!
its a worrying old time ..... but hey some funny things keep happening .... ;)
