It seems I'm a patient now!

Back pain is very slowly improving with plenty of rest but gentle daily get up and go tasks! 
Hubs is definitely getting more pain again, so the 2codeine plus 2 paracetamol help is slipping; roll on treatment, as he said!

Is he definitely starting treatment in Tues moomy? No more delays surely. And have the hospice people been to sort out his pain meds? What a difficult time you are having. Sending hugs xxx

No, Tuesday is to sign consent and find out, and then Thursday for the hospice at home team, things are moving still so slowly! 

My back is a combination of left sciatic nerve and sacro-iliac joint I think, both of which bother me from time to time but not usually together. It improves with rest and stretches but then the pain starts up again when I move, grrr.

So tonight I experimented, to keep potatoes sufficiently low in potassium they need to be boiled and then drained, so I boiled chip shapes for 10 minutes (too long as they began to break) then drained, rinsed and then deep fried. Success, they were fine. Hubs ate enough, plus just over half a fillet of sea bass and a couple of florets of cauliflower followed by cheesecake strawberries and cream. 

He enjoyed his dinner, that’s a good result.

And his blood sugar stayed up to 4 this morning, also a good result. 
Bless him though, he is looking increasingly frail.

Things are moving terribly slow.y for you moomy Sending hugs xxx

Footstool, perching stool and bath seat delivered and fitted.... remains to be seen how well they work, though he says the footstool is comfy

Hubs has slept quite a bit this afternoon but I did manage to get him to walk around the garden. Sadly it seems he is more frail each time he does, and it’s the cancer rather than the spinal stenosis that’s doing it. 

He feels too sick for dinner this evening, he hasn’t been sick for several days, I do wonder if it’s the worry of the journey and consultation in Oxford tomorrow (he does brood an awful lot, and worries about everything too)

I do hope the consultation in Oxford goes well tomorrow and you both manage to get some rest overnight.

My concerns over immunotherapy restarting tomorrow are minimal compared to what you are going through.  Thinking of you.

Hope tomorrow goes ok moomy, you really have something to deal with each and every day. Will be thinking of you, hugs xx
