Morning All
The OH has just rung to say, the consultant has postponed his CT Scan until the New Year, and that he can come home today.
Praise be, Hallelluah (sp).
The consultant has said,that if pains re-occure, to call the ambulance and get back in again.
He also sent me his love. I have seen him on many occasions, when I have gone in, so I am familiar to him LOL
I was just about to start my daily routine, to be ready to travel up there at lunch time, now I can relax, and go about my normal routine at my normal pace.
OH must be feeling alot better, he ask what was on the menu for the eveing meal tonight.
So, the lonely lamb chop at the bottom of the freezer,can stay there, and the Fatted Calf can be defrosted on Saturday.

Thank you all for all the support that you have given me at this very anxious time.

Hi Julia,

Fingers crossed the scan gives a definitive answer, treatment starts and your OH can be discharged home for Xmas.

Have you enquired about the Volatary Driver Service at the Hospital yet? if not do so, it would make things a lot easier for you.**M**.x

Not alot of change up to now, though he is in less pain, but still very uncomfortable. He has the CT scan tomorrow at 10.00, and started taking the Picolax last night. Two further doses to be taken today.
He says he is coming home after the scan, he is bored. Ha,ha, tell me about it, now he knows how I feel when I am in.
The official version is, no day has been mentioned for his coming home. So I do not know if it is the lonely Lamb Chop lurking at the bottom of the freezer, for dinner for one on Christmas Day, or if I will be defrosting the Fatted Calf.
I have not gone in today, as I had a long-made appointment at the hairdressers, and he wanted me to keep it. Then I walked out to the doctors, got my prescription and took it to the chemist, a job that the OH usually does for me.
Called in T***o on the way back home, another job OH would have done, and now having a much needed quiet afternoon at home, to re-charge my batteries.
I will visit tomorrow, when he will have had the scan.

Take care of yourself

Julia why not ask at the hospital if there's any transport service available. Some volunteers at hospitals use their own cars to help people in your type of situation

Morning Julia. Hoping that your OH will be home for Christmas, that the snow stays away, and that you stay well :-) <3

Hope the scan happens soon, and then you will know what the reason is, and what the treatment(s) will be.


Thinking of you both

Hope the scan happens soon and the right treatment doled out pdq so your hubby is home for Christmas Julia

How sad for that young man and his family but glad they got him back home at least. It's amazing how people go travelling with no insurance so they can't be returned to their loved ones when need to be. Hope he makes good progress now he is among loved ones, bless him and that both of you manage to have a good Christmas

Many Thanks to you all, and here's hoping he gets the scan and e-xray soon.
Shirley I have had the hot cup of tea, and closed up all the doors.
I've just poured a glass of cold G & T, while my meal cooks ready for Emmerdale

Hoping OH will be home for Christmas Julia. Let's hope that he will have the CT scan and the x-ray using the dye within the next day or two. Sending him lots of Get Well Wishes.

Take care of yourself.


Love, Sallie.x

Fingers crossed that he will be home Julia and that they can find out what the problem is. Now get yourself something warm to eat and tuck up in the warm.

Just got back and sorted myself out.
OH is comfortable, but still having Morphine injections. The consultant is trying to get him a vacant slot for a CT scan, and an x-ray using dye.
He thinks he will be home for Christmas, and though I live in hope, I am not holding my breath. We shall see.
He is by far, not in the same league as a young man they have in the High Dependancy Unit. It is a story I have been following on the local radio. He was in a Motorcycle accident in Bali, and funds were being raised in the county to pay for medical treatment, and a flight home. Just heard his father say that although the poor lad is not awake, he will make as good a Christmas for him on the unit as he can. Such a shame. It humbles me.
Will go to see the OH again tomorrow, and at least the rain,sleet and snow forcasted as I was getting ready today,held off, and we only had the rain.
The forecast has to be watched very closely here in Derbyshire at this time of the year, and the hospital is along way from home.

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts.

Julia in Derbyshire

Fingers crossed for some good news for you today Julia, hope you find him more comfortable.

Hope you get some good news today Julia. The sooner he's well and back home - the better for both of you.
