Well all was going so well! We arrived early, had a room with windows, enough nurses on duty, a team of doctors waiting to put the line in and of course importantly one of the comfy reclining chairs for me! So all set!! Or so we thought!! Unfortunately Steve and I forgot that the night before he comes into hospital he is not allowed to take his blood thinning injection, as when they put the line in, they need the blood to be thicker but we forgot! Opps!
So much for Dr Hewitty, think need to go back to the day job!
Due to this, we were told that they couldn’t put a line in until 5pm.
Well a perfect excuse to have a quick trip on the tube to the Kings Road, to see if we can solve our sofa problems! I know this has nothing to do with Steves treatment but ...... we are having sofa nightmares!!
Having finished the renovations to the house in May we have been trying to finish off the decoration and furniture purchasing since but a small thing called Kidney Cancer keeps getting in the way! So now with Xmas fast approaching we are desperate to finish our lounge, so we can have our first family Xmas together in our new home. All sounds simple enough? Well we discovered to our horror that whilst the new room is a beautiful size and we can fit in 2 sofas and a chair unfortunately the access isn’t!! So its either find a shop which can build the sofa in the room or buy dolls furniture!! Hence the trip to the Kings Road!
After a brief look around at beautiful sofas that even with a lottery win (I wish!) we can’t afford, it was back to the ward for Steve.
The line went in, reasonably easily and Steve is now sleeping.
The treatment will start tomorrow and looks like I will need to go home tonight or sleep in the chair, as the relatives accommodations manager forgot to leave me a key so I’m homeless!
Told you Mondays are not our day!!!!
