I had completely lost all sense of time. So this is coming sometime in the middle of the radiotherapy . Taking h stab at it I would say it is about day 15 , in other words about a week since my last entry . So what has happened?
Not much really here lot of it. I am still in hospital, it took a lot longer than we all thought to get the pain under control. However enned now with my unusual mix of painkillers and constipation crackers it looks like it might work this time. I have had a few reasonable nights sleep in a row with little or no painkiller at all . What does still bother me though is the swelling belly and the bile I burp up during my sleep.
It can at times be a substantial amount of fluid . It means disturbed sleep, making sure I make it over the edge of the bed before it runs out my nose or mouth, getting it in the bucket and then setting everything leak in place so I can get back to sleep. Of course if I miss the bed edge than depending an quantity it is a change of sheets. Yes that has happened several times. It was really bad last mnight and the weekend death has put me on MAXLON (?) to counter it. I dean't Think this will effect my chances of going home tomorrow which is Monday the 23 rd .
Hopefully tomorrow I will write to you from home.
PS- Donna and Ian J visited me yesterday which was very enjoyable .
