My husband has found this hospital stay a totally different experience from when he had his liver transplant. He has been well looked after….including by a nurse who actually looked after him pre-transplant…and was in a quiet ward with good roomies, but as of yesterday lunchtime, he just wanted to get out of there. The […]
After leaving my husband looking pale and nauseous yesterday, I was very glad to find him looking much more alive and well this morning. Turns out the anti nausea meds actually made him feel worse so he did have a pretty rough night….thankfully that seems to have all passed, and he was able eat some […]

In fact, October has shaped up to have more than our usual share of seeing the inside of various hospitals!

So instead of going to the doctor only to be sent for tests, I decided it was time to brave the emergency department at the local hospital. You would have thought it would have been reasonably quiet at a private […]
After four months of waiting, today I finally had my appointment with the Thryroid cancer specialist… As we hadn’t been to this hospital for years, we headed off early to ensure finding a carpark….and finding the right department! As usual, my husband’s good luck at finding car parks continued…and he fluked one a minute after […]
