Such miserable weather..x

Another wet and miserable day, nothing seems to change these days does it lol!! God i hate this weather, it just makes everyone so down and grumpy i think.

Anyway was back up at hospital today as im still not feeling well. Im on two weeks course of oral septrin and i got given some more strong painkillers, the physio ssays she dosen't know how my chest is so bad after two weeks iv's. Just really bad luck to be honest, but im hoping these oral's wil do the trick and i wont have to go in for my iv's. Im back up on wednesday for physio. I just cant stop coughing, i somtimes feel like the veins in my head are going to burst as im coughing so much. Hopefully i will be better soon though.
My dear big sister Ali is in hospital, i hope she gets home soon. I need to post her little card and letter tomorrow. So Ali when you read this i want you to know i've been thinking of you as always and im sending you huge huge get well hugs.

I was suppost to be going to ireland in a week or two but im not going anymore because im not feeling well and because my chest is still really bad, so im going after christmas. Really looking foward to going, i have loads of people to meet. Some great friends that will stay my friends forever. Im gutted im not going when i was meant to because i was meant to being seeing Emmie my wonderful big sis over there, but i wont get too see her now and that has made me really sad. I will just have to go visit her after christmas.

I haven't been upto much at all, since i got home from hospital i haven't had the energy to do anything. Hopefully things will start to imrpove soon.
I hope everyone is well and smiley...xx

Free at last!

Finally managed to escape from hospital after 3 weeks! So glad to be home..

Well the story, i went upto hospital on the monday and they decided to keep me in as i had a bad infection! So that was me in for 2 weeks ivs!
I had been complanin for a bit that my port was sore, so i got them too look at it and it seemed rather red and hot too touch, but they said they would wait and see how it went.
They tried to give my my ivs through it and it wouldnt move so i was like oooo noo here goes!
So i had to get a canula in, i was dreadin this as my veins are totally rubbish. The doc came and had 13 attempts, i was like i cant take it anymore. He finally got one in on the 14th attempt and it didnt even last 2 iv doses!

I ended up being in for 3 weeks and i had to get my port removed because it was infected and blocked! So im still really sore and tender but so glad to be home in my own little bed!
In total i had 17 canulas i think and about 20-30 attempts, my arms were black and blue with bruises, they are just actually starting to disapear now!

Im back to hospital tomorrow for physio and just a check up, so hopefully everything is going well. Im still not feeling that good, but hopefully things will start to pick up very very soon.

Im hoping to go to ireland before christmas to spend a few days with alan and clodagh. Emmie and brad are coming to so it should be brilliant. Really cant wait so see them all again.
I will find out tomorrow if i can fly, so fingers crossed i get the go ahead.
Will do a proper update tomorrow. Hope everyone is well and smiley.xxxxx
