It seems I'm a patient now!

I hope hubs potassium behaves and stays down so he can get a timely transfusion/scan moomy You will definitely be sore/stiff after falling off a stool. It’s good your GP nurse is looking after you. I had scan yesterday and have an initial physio phone appt booked in for the end of this month then lymphoedema nurse April 8th. It was lovely you got a caring letter from your breast surgeon. How is your swelling now?

Hi Flossie25, swelling isn’t bad at all, I think the day of 3x firm massage helped, and I guess the aches I’ve got now have totally taken my mind off it too! 
Glad you’ve got appointments sorted out and hope they really help. 

I looked up nebulised drugs and it’s simply salbutamol, and yes it does lower potassium levels, I didn’t know that! Clever! But he also had a calcium based drink which he said was horrible but will stick with it as long as it works, having some squash to take the taste away afterwards! I popped in a squash concentrate for him as I know he hates plain water!

Latest is that it sounds as if he might have one unit of blood tonight......more of the calcium stuff to drink first, bless him

And I’m bleeding well, had to put another dressing over the nurse one as it was bleeding round the edge! 
off to bed bow.....

Hope you get some sleep moomy... night night xx

Thank you Flossie25, yes I did sleep a few hours, thankfully. Poor hubs didn’t get much I fear. 
He’s now had 2units of blood, they decided on some heparin too just in case of any clotting. His Hb was 5.9 before they started. It seems the scan now needs to be minus contrast as they think his kidneys won’t cope. 
he says it’s all gone a bit quiet now.....(but it is weekend!) 

I took in some clean clothes and a few bits he wanted, he got that delivered an hour or so later, has had a wash and change.

Good news on the whole then moomy and hope your Hubs starts to get the improvement from the blood. I have my fingers crossed that his scan is able to go ahead tomorrow. Hope your arm isn't still leaking to much but glad you have got some spare dressings to hand. Take care , both of you Sending gentle hugs Kwissy

Hope hubby feels much better after the transfusions moomy. And really hope he gets his scan tomorrow. Ridiculous he’s had to wait so long. Look after yourself xxx

At least he says he feels in safe hands while there, which is good. 
still on a drip .....

doesnt stop the worry though

I am taking care, and eating. It was a concern as it felt too much to bother, but I had some minced beef which needed using, so I opened a tin of beans in chilli sauce and it had been bubbling away for a couple of hours. Daughter and partner popped by to sit on chairs on the drive, they are going to buy a house further north, and I heard all about it, we are about half way between the old and new properties. It seems to be going ahead, full survey this next week. 
so I sat in the van and we chatted for a bit. I’ve offered to have Henry-pup during removal, and as they will need to make the garden dog proof in a couple of places they were very grateful. 
I had been foraging earlier in the afternoon (I’m a country girl at heart) and picked nettle tops which I wilted down (it’s like spinach but a bit more earthy in taste) and had those with a microwave spud and some of the chilli. 
my bum feels just a touch easier this evening thank goodness!
