Did you mean lolly, salty?
Well done for being so brave through the HSG, MTF - unlike me .
Happy Anniversary, Aries! Our legal one is tomorrow, but we celebrate our proper one on Friday. Just four years.
I don't want to drone on and on about my dad, so will try to keep it brief. Turns out the consultant he has been referred to is on holiday, so there is no-one directing his care, just a series of junior doctors saying conflicting things.
Yesterday afternoon, one of them said they wouldn't be able to go in through the existing drain exit site and get back to the bile duct. Instead, they would have to wait for everything to close up (at the moment bile is still leaking out of the hole in his side). The site would then swell up (not surprisingly with all that bile behind it), dad would go yellow with jaundice, probably have a massive infection, and then they would attempt to resite the drain. Is it me or does that sound fucking crackers? Whatever happened to prevention being better than cure? Each time he has had a bile leak before he has been in hospital for 3-4 weeks on IV antibiotics, and you will remember that one of those times he got sepsis and nearly died.
At that point, dad contacted his surgeon down south. She called him straight back as always, listened to the story and said she would get on the case, which usually involves her shouting at someone. We're now waiting to hear the outcome of that. Which is all very well, but we're now on day 4. And when you've got less than a year to live, you want to spend as little time as possible in a Victorian workhouse.
That wasn't brief, was it.
