What a whirlwind two weeks in hospital! I came in with a high temperature and chest infection to A&E, spent two nights on a trolley, another infection was found in blood cultures, had to have the port in my chest removed due to infection, had a 30 minute surgery without sedation, caught a vomiting bug, bloods showed some signs of possible cancer related issues, had some scans, new liver lesions have shown up, cancer being pretty active in bones too causing nerve pain down the legs and damage to bone marrow resulting in low platelets, I’ve had the worst two weeks of my life, I’ve been so low I wanted out, more than a few times, I’ve never cried so much in my life, I’ve lost more than half a stone, I’ve become fatigued and breathless, my energy has never been so low. I was told I’d have to stay in until December 18th but by some stroke of luck and pleading with the universe to make it so, I get to go home tomorrow and start the magic of Christmas with a 5 year old, it’s what I’ve been missing most 🤶🎅🎄💕 I’m coming home weak, tired, emotional but hopeful again. I started on a new chemo drug today and will be on that for a few months, I’ll be adding in all my extra treatments to try build myself back up. Hospital has done a number on me! Even though I’ve been 'well looked after', the system doesn’t suit my healing methods. I have a ladder to climb to get back to where I was, and on I shall climb. Slowly and steady, baby steps… I’ll be doing what I’m able for, which at the moment isn’t much. It will be a quiet Christmas and that suits me just fine! Thanks for the ongoing support, it means a lot! We’ll get there again, I'm aiming for a new all clear record for Paddy’s day. Are ye with me?
