False alarm

Mike has had to go back to the hospital today to have some blood tests done. As I don't drive and there was no one else available it was either public transport or ambulance to get there. So groovy ambulance it was. I got left at home as they are not allowed to carry anyone other than the patient. Mike has been feeling extremely tired as as such thought that his Hb must be really low. Turns out that he was wrong, his Hb had actually gone up from 10.3 on Tuesday to 11.4 today.

Mike has been seen by the doctor on the day case unit who has decided to alter Mike's anti-sickness and stop the 4g a day anti-biotic, which seemed to be the cause of Mike feeling so unwell.  All in all I'm thinking the visit was a good thing for us both. May be now I won't be woken every hour by poor Mike's retching and I won't be so tired and frazzled that a remark like "I feel so much safer at the hospital" feels like a stab in the back. Thanks for that.


On safer ground, I have finished my "big guns" project. It looked quite good in the picture I saw online, on me it looks...... well I'll let you all decide how I look.

I'm a garden gnome too Paula !

I may possibly, (well it's always open to debate,) have once been as hysterically funny as Paula. Unfortunately I have a lot on my plate and that has stopped me being funny (I quote someone else there). Apologies to anyone who visists the blog expecting humour, a full refund will be given on request.
