Well we are now well and truly on the runway!!
Wednesday was a visit to the Haematology department at Addenbrooke's for a bone marrow biopsy (my third!!) and more bloods taken. Had a phone call from the BMT specialist nurse to tell me that I had passed all last week's tests with flying colours!!
Haematology tell me I have good hard bones - great for later life, but not so good for bone marrow biopsy!!
Thursday was a really eventful day. I met with Dr Charles Crawley and I now have a firm admission date of Tuesday 28th February into Addenbrooke's. Central line goes in that morning and away we go!! Dashed back from Addenbrooke's to Bedford for more blood tests and cross match ready for my transfusion on Friday. Now discharged from Bedford Haematology to Addenbrooke's.
Friday - Two units of blood and that should be my last visit to Primrose Ward in Bedford for quite a while. The Primrose ward is really wonderful. The staff are just great. Discharged from there to Addenbrooke's. Donor should have had his medical today.
John, good news that you have a date. I'm sure your excitement is tinged with apprehension, but recall that unforgetable Monty Python number - "Always look on the Bright Side". I'm sure all will go well, and I know you have your faith and the prayers of many. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteFantastic news, John. It's great that things are moving and the best is yet to come!! Will be thinking of you both. Stay strong and in touch. Anyway, that Welsh sense of humour should keep them on their toes !!! Much love. X
ReplyDeleteHi John, that is great news. Hoping you get off the runway, into the air and back down again all in one piece!
ReplyDeleteHappy flighting!
