Well, as the title says, my new hickman line has been inserted. Early yesterday afternoon I was taken down to theatre and was very upset :(
Before I was put to sleep they gave me something through my canula to make me feel relaxed but that didn't seem to make a difference, so they gave me something else and it made me feel so sleepy and relaxed I fell asleep before the white stuff as I call it, went in!
I was very sore and stiff when I woke up and couldn't move easily at all. Amos had said that I would have to stay over night on the ward as I did not go into surgery untill the afternoon, but of course there had to be a drama! They did not have any beds on C2 so mum said we should book into a hotel near Addenbrookes as she did not want to drive over an hour away when I was in such a bad state.
We did not have to do that when we got a bed on COU - Childrens Observation Unit. The 5-bed ward was very noisy at night as there were people coming & going all night, cleaners banging and crashing all night and the phone ringing all night!
Today I had a ultra sound on my heart and that was all fine, then a GFR - Kidney Function Test and also the doctors wanted an ultra sound of my tummy/back area as I have been getting pain in my back, but that was all fine too!
It has been a really long couple of days and I am really glad to be home and back in my own bed and be able to have facebook!
I am feeling so much better now and I am going to to bed, night everyone! xxxx

I just checked your blog for the first time since before Christmas. It did not have the news I was hoping to hear. Holly, however, seems to be keeping her chin up, and that is important as well as encouraging. Dr. Amos likewise seems to be a fine person to have in charge of her care. I am terribly sorry that she has to endure chemotherapy again, but I'll pray even harder that this second round will be the one to rout this disease forever.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have the support of family and friends nearby. Be aware too that others farther away are also giving their support.
