My love went into hospital yesterday, a truly frightening thing.
We waited for admissions to phone us with a time (2pm) ignored it and wandered along about 3. No surprise, there wasn't a bed ready and we had to wait for a few hours.
She was seen by a doctor and the registrar and had some tests, some bloods and they said they would try her on anti-biotics and see what happened. Her white count continued to be off the scale and that is a source of infection but no-one knows where it is.
She finally got settled into a bed and was for her, quite calm about it. She has had such problems in the past at hospital that I was worried that she would really struggle but she has been quite keen to be there and get this sorted out.
She was cold during the night (I thought hospitals were kept warm and toasty) and needed more blankets. Not helped by hot flushes which make her feel cold really quickly too.
Today she had more examinations and an ultra sound which showed nothing unusual. She has a cyst on her ovary which they aren’t worried about but everything else was ok. Her blood tests showed the white count beginning to come down which is great news as it means that the anti-biotics are beginning to do their thing so hopefully this won’t last too much longer
She is feeling a little better and I am feeling a lot less worried.
