Good morning from an overcast E Kent. We were promised a thunderstorm overnight and got just a dribble of rain instead.
Had an interesting day. Dh’s body had got rid of the excess morphine and was much more normal, but in the early afternoon, it was decided he needed a catheter and could i take him to Canterbury hospital, 18 mikes away? (They have no transport and would have needed to organise an ambulance) Not Margate hospital, 100 yards from the hospice. I don’t know why. Between the long journeys etc., it was 3 hours before we were back. DH was in different pain, both he and I were wiped out. By the time, I got home, I had been out for over 8 hours.
To add insult to injury, I was fast asleep when the phone went at midnight! In a panic, I answered it. Just DH who had not a clue why he had called me - probably one of his hallucinations. I hope the exercise is not repeated too often!
I’ve got the cleaner coming this morning just before I leave for the hospice. I want to stay until he has seen the doctors to see what they say about the two new developments, 1. A date for chemo, this Friday; 2. The catheter and problems inherent with it.
Full day/week ahead.
May you all have a ray if sunshine ☀️ in your lives today.
Carpe diem. ?????
