So I am sat here in a private room, with Tv and ensuite, staff who cant do enough forvme and they are pumping potassium into me on an intravenous pump. Theres about half of the first bag left and that should be done about 2am. The night staff will swap it at 2cand hopefully the morning will see my potassium level at a point where they are happy for the op to go ahead. I do hope so.
Jen stayed here all afternoon and we had dinner together in the room. Nice food too. She went home about 6.30 and while i know she would rather have stayed here i hope she gets a good nights sleep and of course she will be back in the morning.
I would like to mention here the firm for whom I work : Addison Lee. They pay for my Bupa cover, and have been so supportive right from the word go. In these days of hard headed business and dog eat dog I am eternally grateful to everyone at Addy Lee for their support and good wishes
For now I can only hope that the intravenous pump overnight does the trick, and that everybody agrees the op can go ahead as planned tomorrow evening.
More from me in the morning
The sudden realisation that you have cancer hits you like a sledgehammer. On 9th February after 2 months of tests and all sorts thats what they told me. In more ways than one it's a life-changing moment and your mind goes into overdrive thinking all kinds of worst case scenarios.
Big Fella, your facing this head on just like you always do. I have nothing other than admiration. I wish you well. Anyway I can help then you have my number.
