Well finally today I have managed to be rid of my syringe driver and switch to oral medication for pain relief and anti sickness. This means I am no longer reliant on being at home every day waiting for the 24 hour top ups from the brilliant community nurses. Work are also in the process of sorting me out a laptop so that i can keep a watching brief but am still some way off going back to work yet as until i get off pain relief totally i cant even drive which is frustrating. Still a day to remember as I gain back a little more of my independence. Trouble is that sore throat is still persisting and stopping me trying different foods, so fish, eggs, soup, porridge and pureed mash will need to continue to make up my daily menu - even though i really fancy a Pot Noodle...Keep the well wishes coming, my battle to beat this thing continues...
