All has been quiet as far as my treatment goes. I have come off most of my drugs and there was talk of my Hickman line been removed. I am not in a hurry for it removing though as i have become quite fond of it lol. It will be very strange not having tubes hanging out of me like a robot anymore and getting a bath will be too easy when it has gone lol. I dont like the thought of them removing it as it must hurt as it will be embedded in to my body and they just tug at it to get it out. Anyway the peace was disturbed the other day when i recieved a call from my consultant to tell me i have a virus in my blood that causes glandular fever. I had my bloods repeated yesterday but wont have the results til monday. If the virus is still in my blood then i will have to go into hospital for iv treatment. It has to be given very slowly as a lot of people can have an allergic reaction to it. This is all great when it only takes 3 hours to get to hospital lol.
I have applied as a volunteer for the cat protection society this week as daytime tv is driving me insane so i would like to do something a bit more useful with my brain well what there is left of it lol. I am also interested in working with people with learning difficulties as i was training to be a learning disability nurse before i was diagnosed so i do have some experience. I am just watching total wipeout and i am ashamed to say i am enjoying it lol.
Great to see you back on line and doing well....apart from possible gf virus. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a negative result but if not the hickman line will be back in use. [ don't worry about having it out...it doesn't hurt and after all you've been through, will seem a doddle].
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the volunteering... and keep the posts coming. xx
