Monday 20 April 2026…

Thankfully, I had a better night sleep last night. Maybe I was too warm with both the sheet and a blanket over me. Last night, I just slept with the sheet over me. Who knows?

Breakfast delivered and I was wondering where my morning medications were. I had an agency nurse looking after me overnight, or some kind of nurse as she wasn’t wearing the navy blue scrubs the RAH nurses wear and was wearing a completely different uniform altogether. A morning shift nurse from the ward came in after breakfast with my meds and my blood thinner injections.

This morning has been an extremely burpy and feeling spewy kind of day with no matter what I eat. Even the Gaviscon didn’t take effect on it. It was a morning of feeling slightly rough.

Of course it passed when my Doctor, Dr Litwin and his students came by but I did tell him about it though. My dr mentioned that they haven’t forgotten about finding somewhere for me to go once I leave the hospital, they are still working on it. He also mentioned speaking with the Oncology Team again about Immuno treatments and chemo again. It’s still not a cure for my cancer but treatment only.

This afternoon I was feeling better thank goodness.

I know I’m on the discharge list as I’ve heard the nurses talking but the hospital still has a duty of care to place me somewhere suitable because of my ongoing health issues, not just my cancer.

The Frusomide injections is definitely working today in making me pee and removing some of the excess fluid on my right leg.

The antibiotics for the infection in my leg has been stopped too by my doctor today.

I’m also glad that the hospital is serious about the prevention of DVT’s blood clots in the legs as well because they know that cancer loves clotting blood, so one of the reasons for being on a high dose of blood thinners, injected into my stomach, twice a day.

Time to wind down and put my phone on charge now.

Until next time
