11th March - Long Haul Flights Sure are Tiring!

Today has been pretty much the same as yesterday, without much improvement. My tooth is still sore and face slightly swollen, my appetite is diminishing, I'm very tired and I'm pooing through the eye of a needle! Although I am remembering to breath deeply and I did have another shower this morning and felt much better for it.

I've had 10 hours of saline today (due to finish at around midnight tonight) to keep me hydrated as I'm no longer able to keep my fluid intake high enough manually. The drip is fine, a bit annoying when I try to make a dash to the toilet (I use the term 'dash' very lightly as I'm moving quite slowly at the moment), but apart from that it just sits next to me dripping away and I barely notice it any more.

I think my son-in-law brings out the worse in me as when he came to visit today we were talking about how this is the start of my new life and I realised it really is as I feel very much like a new baby; pooping, eating and sleeping!

Although my appetite is decreasing I'm still making room for my daily helping of ice cream at tea time, or as I have renamed it... ICE CREAM TIME!

Staff are still being fabulous and my visitors aren't too bad either! I had a goods night sleep last night so I'm hoping for the same tonight.

Good night and God bless,

John

    Good trick with the eye of the needle - you won't be doing that at parties though will you?

    At last I have managed to find your blog and sign in which is amazing for me to have achieved!! We are all thinking about you lots and hope that you will very soon be feeling a little better. The tooth thing is unexpected and we hope and pray that this is sorted out soon. Not sure I like the 'pooing' bit but if it means that all is going to plan then I guess it's ok.
