Another procedure

Today I am going to have another look see at my bile duct to see if it is working correctly, with an intervention radiology procedure. If they find the bile is flowing correctly then they will take out the drain. Fingers crossed it is as that means I can leave the hospital and go home. My first pains were on the 25th June and I was admitted on the 30th June so it will be nearly 4 weeks in hospital. As you can imagine I am keen to go home. I feel better today, but I have been told it will be a few weeks of no driving and two months of rest and recuperation. I have been grateful to have the central line in my neck and the pict line in my arm which has meant I needed no cannulas, but look forward to them coming out. Following the mismanagement on Saturday I have had a word with the matron who is going to look into it.

Quite a stream of friends came to visit yesterday which was lovely and today it is just Mark. I find my concentration wanders and that my eyes glaze over which is apparent to others, and so I can only cope for so long. I expect our cat is going to love the fact I am at home and in bed!

I wont be leaving today, but fingers crossed it might be tomorrow.
