HB I think the rather premature new thread may have confuzzled us - are supposed to be hither or thither?!
I agree with M&M (still think it's a bit suspicious that they're always online together); how could you be doing anything but menkulling when your body is behaving like this? Good that you now have A Plan.
In other news, dad is back in hospital AGAIN . His bile drain came out yesterday (had only a single stitch holding it in place, but the guy that fitted it said he had never known one come out). Went to local A&E, who had never seen anything like it and didn't have anyone who could refit it. By the time HO and I arrived up there, they had found him a bed in a hosp near us, so we all drove back down again.
HO and I had been planning a fun day for once, ideally one with no chat about cancer - instead we spent 7 hours driving around and now have my mum staying with us.
He is on a 20-bedded ward that was built in 1867. For once I am not exaggerating, there are photos with that date on, it hasn't changed one jot since.
The nurses admitted him but said he wouldn't see a doctor until Monday. HO put his foot down and insisted that the on call doctor be contacted, given that dad has got bile collecting inside his body, and we had shown them the letters which documented that there are two different infective organisms in that. So that doc came, eyeballed dad, read the letters, and said they will reinsert the drain on Monday, unless he becomes septic today, in which case they will call the interventional radiologist.
So in essence they are happy for dad to just sit there, with more and more infected bile flowing through his body, rather than disturb someone's weekend. And there's fuck all I can do about it.
