No Scan but Pain under control

My guess was right, maybe I should add Psyche to my list of duties......... or simply someone who has gotten to know and understand how the NHS works.


Steve didn't have a scan today as their were no available slots. He is however in alot less pain and has spent most of the day in and out of sleep. The morphine is really helping and means he can finally rest.

I spent the evening with him and he looked so sweet dressed back in his blue and white stripped PJ's.

He was very pleased to see me when I arrived but think the Steak and Cheese Subway had something to do with that!

Tom came and saw Steve today and said he now thinks that the x-ray does show a small fracture in his rib but that he should still have the bone scan. I don't want to turn into Dr Hewitty again but I'm adamant that Steve should have a bone and or MRI scan before he comes out, to make sure nothing else is going on.

I left Steve at just after 9 to come home and felt so sad. I hate leaving him behind and coming back to our house alone. It just doesn't seem right. I know he is in the best place but it stirs up all of the emotions of how unfair this whole thing is. I listened to people chatting on the train about their lives and wanted to be back in the place where the topic of conversation was so trivial. Steve and I will and do still have lots of fun, so I'm not complaining just wishing that things could be so different.

Poor Steve in the hospital ward surrounded by 3 guys coughing and spluttering and talking very loud on their mobile phones. Saying that Steve is giving them a run for their money on the farting front!!! The kids have just come to except that the loud and smelly farts are part of Steve now and Victoria say "Safety" when ever he does it and Megan has download a farting ring tone to her phone for when ever Steve calls her! The kids are what keep you smiling.

The kids have not been to see him as its not a place for Children to go, as some of the other patients are in a bad way with drips etc but they have been speaking to him on the phone. That said if anyone is in London over the next few days and fancies popping in then I know Steve would be happy to see you. Visiting hours are 10-8pm and if you give me a call or a text I can let you know what wards etc he is on.

Well off to bed now. And will be on the phone in the morning chasing the scan. Love to all. x

  1. That's it! From now on you will be known as 'Psychic Sally!'. So hoping that both you and Steve have been able to get a decent night's sleep - and that Steve's getting revenge on his fellow patients who are shouting into their mobiles - by farting liberally!
    Love to you both.
