16th Feb - Great Western Hospital

So this is the first email I sent to my parents in Penarth, but since things have been developing I've decided to add all my emails into blog posts.


Hello! Today's update. 

I have been trying to do my physio, but to be honest, it's not going too well ( they did say it would take time). 

I've been examined by several student doctors ( some of whom are post grad) as I am a one-in-a- million so they want to see me! 

Blood sugars are ridiculously high because of the steroids, so am now on increased insulin following visit from the specialist diabetes nurse.

 Fellow patients in ward are interesting ( and sometimes noisy but can be quite funny!). 

Can't remember if I said I'd also had a visit from the occupational therapist to start planning discharge, although I have no idea when that will be at the moment.

Forecast for tomorrow is hopefully being moved to the private ward where I was for the kidney. That means private room, free wifi and tv, and free parking for visitors ( within reason). 

Sian is being a star, holding the office together as well as visiting. 

Sleeping difficult as can't move much. No feeling in legs at all nor up to my chest. Bed baths are quite nice! 

Food quite good. Care really good. 

Will update you sometime tomorrow!
