Bowel cancer CARERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS chat

Has he got any bruising there? I remember having backache after my op and they said that the operating beds are very hard so wondered if he was still a bit bruised from it? x

No bruise just where he has injections on his arm xx

HI Maggie!

Yes Karen is right every opportunity I took if I thought Jays temperature was too high/low He didn't thank me for it though continually telling me not to phone anyone but I just didn't listen to him in the end and just as well as he ended up getting sepsis 4 times. But it was the 4th unfortunately along with the advancing cancer that finally took him as you all know. Yes if in any doubt Maggie phone someone may be something and nothing but better safe than sorry. Take Care sending Hugs

Thanks Vicki and Karen. I am going back in to check him again. I will keep you updated. Xxx

Sorry Maggie just read your details Simon did have back ache from the epidural but he was on tramadol which helped. Having the runs is what needs to slow down bless him I know he will not want to go in but if you can just get advise would help xx

Don’t say sorry Jkee. He has just got out of the bath and gone back to bed.  I will ring tomorrow as he told me not to ring as when I rang for advice on Sunday they wanted him in.  I am staying up for a while to see how he goes. He had a go at me for fussing.  I just feel like crying like you mentally, emotionally and physically drained. Xx

How is Les today hope he had better night you can never relax EVER like you Simon sleeps in spare room I leave bedroom door open and listen out for ever noise when he goes to the bathroom I wait for him to go and settle he wake around 5am in morning not to disturb me he watching tv in bedroom to see him first thing how are you any pain are you ok if he goes in cupboard for paracetamol I am saying what the matter have you got headache how long? Has headache gone you sure so carry on fussing shows you care xx

Hi Jkee. No we can’t relax. Got daughter to come round and she had a word with the ward. They want him in to check. He has not really eaten for 2 days or drank and is very weak. I keep a diary of everything .  Daughter coming back in 20 minutes and if temp still up she said he is going to hospital whether he likes it or not. Just had 2 paracetamol so no doubt his temp will go down. Gosh this is constantly keeping us on our toes and the worry is dreadful xx

So sorry you are having to deal with all this, hopefully your daughter will take him in and get checked over sending you a hug
