I told a fib - back to medical stuff

1 minute read time.

Apologies all round but this is much more cheerful than normal.
I'm in a local Sue Ryder Hospice. Considering my severe dislike of hospitals this is out of this world.
I have a room to myself, staff who are so cheerful, considerate and just downright lovely!! The chef is brilliant and tempted me to eat again, all fresh and home cooked. I think I'd be perfectly happy to end my days here!

On the treatment side, I can eat, I haven't slept so well for ages, much less pain, (less grumpy!!!) and and and.... haven't been sick for 5 days (Yippee!!).
My legs haven't changed but then my sodium isn't improving quickly! But - at least it's going in the right direction. My super duper friend Dr M came to visit today and we did a bit of an adventure on wheels around the beautiful grounds. She assures me she's a trained wheelchair driver!!

Sunday

And now I'm waiting for visitors - hurrah! 2 wonderful friends from where we used to live and one of their delightful daughters. They arrived with an armful of cards from friends and themselves, along with presents. I have to admit to not being able to read the cards until later as one glance and I was quite choked! Mr Bad Fairy was able to get here too and meet them for the first time which was lovely. Despite living so close originally we never managed it previously, they're now about an hour's drive away from where we live. Anyway it was wonderful and I can't thank them enough for making the effort.

    You've been a very bad fairy indeed!  I've just gotten back from a BC Pals gathering and had the other blog post in my e-mail, bit of a shock - then I got to this one, phew.  Glad to know you will be around with your sense of humour for some while yet! Bad fairy... ;)

    Well done, Bad Fairy - especially the eating and sleeping bit. What is it with these docs and sodium? I had an extra week in hospital because my sodium level was too high.

    Keep smiling

    love

    its a different world in a hospice compared to a hospital isnt it bad [ but nice ] fairy..

    im sure they will get you back on your feet and you will return home feeling much better..

    when i went into st catherines i was totally shattered and couldnt stop coughing and been sick...

    2 weeks later and i was back on my feet and doing good...

    that was christmas 2009 and im still here doing fine...

    isnt it good when the chef comes round and takes your order for a home cooked style meal....

    i had an electric adjustable chair...a bed..my own tv....a couch..internet conection....s big bath and there was one of those baths that bubble away...

    you look after yourself mrs fairy , hopefully you will be home soon..

    hugs as allways
