The last time I updated the blog turns out to have been a full month ago, I thought it was 2 weeks and not really sure where they have disappeared to in all honesty. The days are just disappearing, I can only assume this is a good thing.
I ended the previous post when I was about to go to get my CT scan, Went to the GP first to order tablets and just got the bus into town, I distinctly remember this bus journey as I was listening to World War Z and one of the chapters was about Armagh.
The CT scan itself went well, it couldn't have gone worse than the last time back in December when I was physically sick moving from the bed into the scanner hooked up to oxygen and on copious amounts of pain killers. I was able to hold my breath ok each time I had to, although of course the PICC line didn’t work and they had to quickly stab me so they could give me the dye during the scan, at least that worked ok.
The next day with being out and about the previous day I had a cough again and sniffles, seems to be any time I go out this is the case, and because of this I kept the next while quiet until it settled again which if I remember correctly was the Friday and I got out for a bit of a cycle again, it was nice and went to Comber and back, this time tracking it on the GPS and taking pictures along the way there so I could work on a project that I’ve been meaning to for about a year, but I’ll not be working on this any time soon, but I have it there for when I will.
I have a pile of books hiding out in the box room so I ended up getting a bookcase so they are more accessible and I look intelligent showing them off, despite a fair few being kids books but I feel I should maybe have read them when I was younger so I’m making up for not reading them then ie Roald Dahl and Chronicles of Narnia. I went to a local bookstore to get a few books that I should have read or ones that I know I really like, to fill it up a bit more and will probably get a few more, I have a couple of collections that I would like to add to it.
After the cycle the other day, of course, I ended up with a cough again and I keep it quiet at the weekends anyway as they tend to be busy out and about so I stay in to completely avoid it, not that I go out much during the week either and when I do its to quiet places and don’t really come in to contact with people. After the weekend I wasn’t really up to much and caught up with TV I’d recorded over the next couple of days.
Wednesday morning was PICC time, this time I done some exercises. I went on the exercise bike for a while and flapped my wings, it seemed to help last week so hopefully will be the same this week and well, it worked, didn’t even have to phone the hospital and they were able to get blood which was the plan to help speed up the process tomorrow for hospital, but even if everything goes to plan it’ll be tight to get it all sorted as they’ve planned.
I'll add the rest on another post, give you a bit of a break, or just continue straight away.
