Sadly it will now not be possible for me to be with me fellow TFF members and very good friends at the Wolfie carvery. I ‘m not just gutted I now won’t meet the famous Wolfie, I’m also gutted I won’t be sitting down and having my fist proper meal for over a week.
That very first promising step on Tuesday that I hoped would lead to Carol coming back home; only lasted just one day. It’s all been a bit down hill since then all week, but I’m very hopeful progress can be made again and maybe towards next weekend, I can bring Carol back home again.
They did for the first time test the calcium in Carol’s blood and have found it is very high indeed and could be the main reason for her constantly feeling sick. A bag of nasty old stuff was pumped into her yesterday and as at they at last put in a picc line, she was able to go back on the drip so we can get some fluids in her body again.
Only problem was they gave her an injection last night of something she has never had before and it has had the wrong effect and knocked her right out. Poor maid has been out of it all day and looks as bad as she did last Saturday morning when the ambulance took her to the hospital.
The calcium levels have started to drop and I hope by maybe Tuesday we can get her off the drip and have another go to try and get her to drink and possible eat something on her own again. I had a meeting yesterday where I was able to arrange suitable care for Carol when she does come home, such things as proper pain control have been agreed and so we hopefully we then won’t get to where we did end up last week.
I hope Rob or someone will take a camera with them tomorrow to record the event and a thread will be started with all the details how the day went.
On the subject of the drum, all the work has been done and it’s ready to be used. Maybe Aussie or Rob or someone else can collect it from me in the morning and take it to the ground. If Aussie or Rob sends me a text message we might be able to sort something out. Aussie made the arrangements with the club as to where the drum would be stored and if Joe is able to use it tomorrow, I’m sure he will be made aware where the drum has to go back too.
I do have to go shopping in the morning at sometime, the boys have stripped the cupboards bare of anything that even looked like food, they were close to start eating the parrots food believe me.After that it will at the hospital for the rest of the day and evening.
I really hope you all have a super day and we win as well.
Take care all
Dave
