John had his CT scan this morning. Tomorrow he has his biopsy. We've had some frustrations with arranging the appointments which has added stress to an already difficult time. The hospital haven't been as efficient as we were hoping they would be which is worrying. It has a bad reputation and friends are already telling us to go to Newcastle and maybe along the line that will happen.
John has been prescribed amtrypiline for his sciatica which is helping him sleep but he is zombiefied in the day. He has had a couple of days off this week as he was just too exhausted to drive. I think it has helped and last night i thought his colour looked better. He's been looking so sallow and yellowy lately which worries me. Everything worries me. I had such a bad head and stomach yesterday. Am finding the whole thing unbearable...and unbelievable still. Am not the only one though - no-one believes us. Everyone is sure it won't be anything. Not the hospial though. He said at his appointment today they are talking like they already know...
