Latest Update

As I haven't been doing so well recently I haven't finished some of the updates, like Centre Parcs and Christmas, and January to February yet, but thought I do the latest update now:

Last week an infection started on my right calf and I was put on antibiotics again, after a couples of days it spread further and got more painful so was put on different antibiotics. But by Sunday it had spread further again and the skin had gone bubbly. 

So I was admitted to the hospital, where they took some tests and put me on different antibiotics again. My sugar levels were really high so they diagnosed me with diabetes as well and gave me insulin. 

They wanted to keep me in hospital for a few days, but as it was Mothers Day and most of the family were at home and I wanted to see everyone, so they let me go home, but I would have to go to the hospital each day to get the antibiotics. 

As my energy levels are so low it is a struggle for me to do anything, so by the time I got home and trying trying to get into the house I couldn't lift my legs high enough and actually fell over at the front door steps! 

Luckily Jared and Papa were behind me and caught me to help me back in, but it made us clear that I wouldn't be able to leave the house each day to go and get my antibiotics at the hospital.  

I did manage to get back into bed in my new lovely room at home and have lunch and fun with all the family 😊

On Monday morning Mama called my palliative nurse, Sharon, who, to cut it a little short, arranged for me to go to the Hospice to be looked after. 

So since Monday I have been at Forest Holme Hospice, where the staff are amazing and so are all the facilities. I've also had lots of visitors, which is lovely too. 

And since being here and them checking everything wrong with me, my meds have been changed again and they are trying to sort out all the problems - so I'm hoping within a couple of days I'll be feeling better than I have for the past couple of weeks and get to go home 😊
