Hi all after having a good day on Saturday I got out of bed on Sunday morning and faceplanted myself into the radiator.?  Not quite the planned start for the day.

I struggled to get up and finally managed to do so and wobbled myself down the landing to where i collapsed next to the laundry basket..  I shuffled down stairs on my bottom and managed to get on the sofa.   After resting for a while I got up to get a drink and dived in the fireplace.  My son found ne there and managed to get me turned around and called the ambulance.  It was busy so they took a while to arrive.

They quickly recommended I go with them but admitted there was no obvious life threatening  reason why I should do so so I declined.  They left for about three minutes a d came back in saying they felt they should conduct an egg which they did.

They said the result was sightly off but they felt was enough that they should advise my to go to hospital.  We went to one hospital and were diverted to a different one.  They examined my legs and feet and were very confused by them.  They then discovered a significant infection in my abdomen and put me on antibiotics.  I have been admitted to a ward.  They have taken lots of blood tests, I have had a CT scan and chest x Ray and am booked in for an MRI.  The oncologist is convinced that it a related to the cancer.  Possibly relating to the spine, hence the MRI.

I'm not sure how long I will be here but think it will be a week ot two.  One thing about cancer it is never boring, even if that is not in a good way.

Wishing you all the best, Love and hugs, gragon

  • Hi Gragon,

    Sounds like they are looking after you very well. Infections are nasty and can cause all kinds of symptoms.

    Hope you are soon on the mend and can recuperate properly at home.

  • Hi Gragon,

    I hope that the antibiotics are dealing with the infection, and that it is the cause of your problems and they disappear with the infection.

    Best wishes for a speedy return to home and happy boredom.
