Friday 17th April – I am going travelling

I am heading off to Norfolk today.

Mixed reviews from the night.  The doctors have moved her to a ward rather than an emergency unit.  She now has her own room.  They have said that she is responding to the medication and that there is a better chance she will pull through the pneumonia. I am honestly not sure if this is a good thing.

Something is making her hallucinate floridly and she is distressed for a lot of the time.  She is only on antibiotics so it is not the drugs.  Who knows?  It is upsetting for her and upsetting for everyone who loves her.  She is afraid to be left alone and they are with her round the clock.  Poor things.

Sorry for the incoherence of the post.  I had decided that they would not need me for days and so had been counselling myself on being good and patient.  Now I have to swing into action and I am all at sixes and sevens! Typical.

Trains to Norfolk are few and far between with plenty of changes. Just how I like them!  It will take me most of my day to get there, which is a shame, because now he has decided he needs me, he would really like a magic wand job.  A friend has offered to drive me, bless her, but it takes about the same amount of time to drive as to go by train, so I shall train it and read my book and chew my finger nails.

I don’t know how long I will be there or whether I will be able to check in on you all while I am away.

I shall miss you.  Please behave yourselves while I am gone.

  • sit up straight
  • Eat your greens
  • Wear a clean vest in case you get run over,

and most importantly of all:

  • Never boil eggs in your kettle.

  5. Hi again Katy. Just as what I hope will be a fun diversion when you get back, I’ve tagged you for a meme over on Zen Mischief. I think you might find it fun — if only as an antidote!
    Meanwhile, think of you all! Hugs …

  6. Monday afternoon here in Oz and I’m finally home to find you’ve gone walkabout. Have read your news and hope everyone’s suffering is soon done. My Dad had mesothelioma and died 16 years ago. The best we could say was that the end was mercifully quick compared to what it could have been. My love to you all.

  7. My thoughts are, and have been with you all.

  8. Thinking of you – hope you are as ok as you can be.

  9. Thinking of you too. Worrying, really. More prayers your way.

  10. Was just thinking about you, and hoping things are ok. x

  11. Just popped by to see how things were going but find you’re still not back. Oh dear – hope things are okay…

  12. The thoughts of the internet are with you

  13. Thinking of you all.
