A week today Richard was allowed home and today we have come back in- not as bad as it sounds though. We are only here for a phosphate infusion.
Just means we will be here all day- its 9.30 am and apparently can take up to 12 hours- eeeek what a long day sitting in hard Uncomfy chair. Think I'll have to go for a wonder or something. Maybe I could pop over to the Leicester tigers ground and spend my Christmas vouchers seeing at its only over the road. Would pop in to town and do some shopping, if only I worked full time and had some pennies. Never mind.
So, Richard had his check up yesterday. All went really well, said his white cell counts have jumped a bit but they didn't seem concerned to what Richard said so I am guessing that is okay. He was told he didn't need to go back now until next Monday, when you get to 30 days you only need to go in once a week which is great. So Richard was all happy and thought a whole week of not going in. To ect a phone call later on to say he's got to go back in for a infusion because his phosphates are too low. Oh bugger. I don't know what these are but Richard did some research and basically if you have no phosphates you can die. Sounds scary.
Richard is all connected to his drug now, they said they will keep it going until 5pm and for from there. That's not too bad, I'll have to have a sleep or something. :)
