The ward here is a special ward for 21 people who have a similar thing to me, it's the only unit in Ireland I think. It's weird looking, each section has two doors that need to each open and close before another one opens-it's all meant to protect against infection. My room is the same, it has a small area before you go it to the room for people to wash their hands and wear an apron thing to protect me against bad fashion/germs!
Each room has it's own air conditioning system, I can't open the door or window and I can only leave the ward for tests. I have to wear a mask when leaving my room because the chemo has killed all my cells.
I had a tube put into my chest last week to help me get my treatment easier but unfortunately it started to get an infection so they had to take it out on Tuesday. I got a smaller one put into my arm yesterday.
I forgot to mention Wednesday was Stephens birthday. I wasn't feeling well at all- the chemo was kicking my butt but Adam came to the rescue and got a card for me to sign. I know his family had pizza and cake and his aunt took a picture of him blowing out the candles! All the nurses were lovely and wished him a happy Birthdy too.
I'm just watching Wife Swap- Its so crap- one family worship plants!Honest to God!
Anyway keep me in your thoughts and prayers

ReplyDeleteAw happy birthday to Stephen! I got stuck in between two of those high security doors on the way out last weekend for about 10 mins until a kindly nurse came to my rescue. Thinking of smuggling Percy in next time in my bag..he'll give you loads of smooches and make it all better...although I'm not sure the nurses would be quite so kindly about that or about the amount of drool he can produce!
