One of the things that makes me smile is when it comes to nurse change over time where the nurses of each shift do hand over for the nurses taking over and where a couple of them see me and wave. They may not be looking after me on their shift but they enjoy recognising a familiar, friendly face.

TMI warning… hope no one eating anything before reading this paragraph… the low residue diet, aka a no fibre diet, is definitely working. The poop is nothing more than sludge passing through, which is what the doctor’s in the colon/rectal team wanted. I also have made up a name for my poops… Poop Soup lol.

This morning, I was told by my morning nurse that I will be going for my thyroid biopsy this afternoon, after 3pm. After yesterday’s debacle, I hope it happens today.

This morning I spoke with a psychologist from Oncology and had a good conversation with them. They are also referring me to speak with someone from their spiritual team as well because I told the psychologist about my deep connection with God.

Time to give thanks to those people wearing purple, the volunteers, who do the kind, caring things for patients here in this hospital.  I thank you all for what you do to make a patients stay in hospital better.

Jiminy Cricket… an orderly came to my room to take me down for the biopsy on my thyroid just after 3pm, guess what?! We get down to level 5, only to be told that the doctor’s have cancelled the biopsy for today and they rescheduled it for tomorrow. At least I got to get out of the room for about 15 minutes and on the way down, I bumped into someone I knew who recognised me from the back of my head, after many years of sitting behind me at church haha.

This afternoon when I returned to the room, I started the ball rolling on my will, with speaking over the phone to a lawyer. Now to figure out, who gets what, what can be donated and the rest chucked away.

Had a visitor this evening, a friend from church. It’s comforting to know there is an army of people I know who are praying for me, I thank God for you all.

Time now to relax and write this blog and the day that was.

Until next time
