As you can imagine with me - we turn a corner only to find unexpected things around that corner. I had my first lovely visit from the Sue Ryder nurse yesterday. She is part of the palliative care team and was so thorough yesterday spending an hour and half going through everything that had happened to me over the last 5 years. She is there to advise me about any difficulties and problem we might have and provides 7 days a week advice line cover ( not her personally), along with a team of other professionals to help support you through this stage of your life. As part of her referral she had been given my recent hospital discharge letters including my recent blood tests which she noticed had a very low haemoglobin level. This was the blood tests taken a week ago and must have been missed in their enthusiasm to find the bug that was making me ill. This probably means that I will need a blood transfusion - but of course it is Friday! Thankfully I am seeing my GP this morning so hopefully she will be able to decide what we should do about this. It will very likely involve another night in hospital - it would be wonderful if you could pray that they could find a quieter ward rather than AMU for that to happen.
So the corner is turned not quite round to the sunny side yet but getting there. I will feel much better with some blood - so maybe that could happen sooner rather than later.
Josh and Debs move into their new house today after a very hectic week of painting. They will be exhausted after the weekend and will need to go to work to recover!!!!
