What alot to catch up on after two days! Hi all...........well went to London on Thurs night with my brother, stayed in accomodation at St Thomass, great bargain, £35 a night, you stay in a flat which has three bedrooms, so obviously there might be other folk there, but we had two singles and there was a lovely lady also whose DH was having a by-pass, theres a shower room, 2 loos, sitting-room and small kitchen, they leave towels, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. We dumped our stuff, walked along the embankment to the Eye, took photos of Big Ben etc, then went to a fab noodle house right opposite the hospital, great food and a few Stellas all under £20 for the two of us! Anyway we were in the cardiac unit from 9-3pm, all went ok, consultant says he will be in asap. Got home at 6pm, grumpy husband and boys, ended up a stormy evening, I still had a bad back and a headache so went off to bed at 9pm with the kids. What a night......Gladys leaked twice, two lots of king size bedding stripped off of the bed, dumped in the bath with Dh t shirts, it was awful. Then at 7.45am just going to clear the bath so I could get in it, the phone rang. Childrens godmother who lives 2 doors away, very upset. At 11pm on Frid night, her Dh was asleep in bed after returning from deep sea, her door bell rang, it was a doctor on call asking for her. She said she had not called a doctor, he came in and said, that he had been asked to visit her urgently as she had had a blood test done that day and her blood count was 4.5! She was told to see her own gp urgently on Mon!! Harry was taken back in that time with a b/c of 5, told not to walk, and ended up with 4 units of blood 6 hours later. Anyway I went in to see her and she looked awful, then told me that the persistant cough she has had for 2 years and loads of antibiotics for ,they had x-rayed her and found an infection on her lung, and then she said she has lost 6lb in three weeks!! So............I just cannot believe all this is happening. Harry has had a rotten day, so washed out, eyes look awful, wont eat and to top it all when he went for the picc line to be flushed thru yesterday they couldnt draw any blood out of it so he may have to go for an x-ray to check it hasnt come out of place, he has chemo again next Thurs! I thin I am still sane! Becca and James are both on stage tomorrow at the big theatre in Canterbury, so looking forward to that, but am struggling to find someone to have Tom Tom as he wont come with us and I didn`t get him a ticket anyway!
TOH the trips pctures are amazing, what a wonderful keepsake.
