This morning I woke up feeling so positive after the best night in a week. But if you read the blog yesterday you may have picked up that I was leaking.
This turns out to be very serious, as one of the bits of plumbing has developed a leak into my abdomen. I am baffling them because I have no indication of any infection – normal observations. But I have been in increasing pain and I have felt things we not right over the weekend.
So I waited for an ambulance (took 4 hours!!) to take me to the County Hospital in Brighton where my surgeon is on duty and he will admit me there to have a look at what has gone wrong and then patch me up. I then have a long stay in hospital because the risks of infection are high. I will probably be in the County for perhaps a week, and then back to the Montefiore. All of this is not guaranteed and I will keep you posted. Nutrition and antibiotics will have to go IV and then we wait and see.
I now have two new tubes in and counting.

Oh dear dear – poor you. Horrid setback but the sleeping is great!
Had some thoughts about foods after reading yesterday’s extraordinary lists but best to wait till this latest hiccup is sorted. What a blow. Presumably best not to visit for a while because of infection. I’ll wait to hear ? Lots of love & fingers crossed. Xxxxxxxxxf

Oh Fifi, what a bummer! Just when it looked like you might be going home. A good night’s sleep obviously got you some extra strength to face this set-back and knowing you as I do, you will face this latest leak and what follows to fix it with your usual aplomb! Keep your pecker up and know all those who love you to bits are thinking of you and looking forward to hearing really GOOD news.
As always, much love, Angie XXX👵👌😻
