Today is going to be a good day! I am definitely having the catheter removed and Molly and Andy will be visiting this afternoon.
At about 10.30 the nurse comes to finally remove my bag of wee. I am relieved (tee hee) that is doesn't hurt. They just deflate a little balloon that held it all in place and out comes the tube. Done. Would have been a whole lot easier if I wasn't having to give repeated directions to hubby on where to take Molly for her ballet lesson mind! Why don't they just go where you tell them and park where you tell them? I am giving directions from a car park that I have never even heard of! Anyway enough of my incredible multi tasking. Where's that shower so I can look super lovely for my visitors I really would like to wash my hair.
After lunch the shower is out of the question - I am too knackered. Unbelievable but sitting in chair can really wear you out you know.
Instead I chose to change in to some pyjamas instead - now I don't have to carry around that damn bag pj's are much easier to wear.
At 2.00 the family arrive and we enjoy a fabulous afternoon in the coffee shop and buy me a few snacks from the M&S shop. Molly is looking stunning and seems very happy and well looked after. Andy looks a little tired, and a little fed up. We talk about me coming home on maybe Tuesday/Wednesday but that doesn't seem to cheer him up. Maybe he is worried about looking after me at home?
By 7 its time for them to go, I am really exhausted and in quite a lot of pain. I have a few tears when they leave and try not to cry in front of them. I am literally choking though and feel like I have swallowed a golf ball.
I lay back and listen to some music for a while whilst I look through the many get well soon cards Molly has made me.
Overnight I get worse, the pain is unbearable and I am struggling to sleep. The nurses check our BP's again and again mine has dipped.. I am warned I may need a blood transfusion at some point and that they will monitor it for next few days. With another dose of morphine I am in the land of nod.
