It seems I'm a patient now!

Oh goodness, that’s a big job, Santababy! 

hubs has been sitting out most of the afternoon, stood up a few times, avoided a nap, but is now back in bed having done incredibly well for his first day. And he will hopefully get some sleep as he’s getting better trying to stay asleep while they do obs, I suspect he’s shattered! 

we FaceTimed a short while ago and he looks amazing, again for his first day. He’s given me permission to fight his corner too, YAY!!!! 
I need to get a changed orthopaedic appointment sorted, they could go and see him while he’s in there! (3 letters with the same information!!!! Left hand and right hand!) 
I need to get the Renal stuff on the move, and also dietician advice for coming home (potassium? Soft? Amounts?) as of course I have to order in advance! 
More power to my elbow, I know!

hubs yesterday said he’d been helped to have a good wash, not easy to do it yourself when you’ve a good number of tubes into each arm and one out of your nose! But he said it made him feel so much better!

I went to bed early, was in bed by just after 10.30, and ive SLEPT!!!! Ok I woke at 3-ish and worried but firmly told myself to relax; next time I looked at the clock it was gone 7.30! that’s the longest I’ve slept in weeks.....!!!!!

no texts from hubs at all yet , I know he’s concerned that he doesn’t want to wake anyone, bless him, but we have all told him our phones are always on. But I hope he’s developing the knack of sleeping through obs; the only worry is blood sugar tests which at times they’ve had to do very often, that’s a pricked finger!

Of course I realise now that the clocks changed, so it was ‘old’ 6.30!

Had a text chat with hubs, he said night staff were really efficient so he just slept! I’m so relieved. He’s sent me a list of stuff he needs, and I’m going to try driving the van to deliver! There are a couple of places to park a long wheelbase vehicle.

And there’s a friendly fellow patient who is a smoker and I know where they go, he’s happy to do a bag swap! 
escape committee is organised!!!!

Very organised as usual !! Glad you had a good sleep  xx Kwissy

I’m home from doing that, and for the first time in daylight I actually drove the motor caravan! And parked up successfully both times. So chuffed!

Very well done!! Brave lady, I used to drive minibuses when I did part time youth work but the thought fills me with horror now! Must be very satisfying. And great that you’ve delivered stuff to hubby. Enjoy the rest of your day xxx

Thank you! Still shaking a bit from the stress of it! Getting his washing done now, though as he is at present there’s no desperate rush for that, he’s still in hospital gown due to so many tubes!

I've put together an absolute stinker of a complaint to go to Urology eventually, that is when I can find out who his consultant is!!!!
