As keen as I am to get home later today, I knew it would be foolish to rush. One of the benefits of not pushing, is that final checks revealed my haemaglobin has dropped since the surgery (as was expected.)
So, I was able to have a last minute blood transfusion to ‘top me up’. Thank you again you wonderful donors out there, still a year post transplant- my health is being improved by your generosity!
The ‘To-do’ list at Discharge includes a final physiotherapy session on the ward, confirming future appointments with Orthopaedic specialist at ‘complicated fractures clinic’ and of course with my BMT Consultant.
I must say I’m looking forward to a big bowl of green Asian veg, with sesame oil and soy sauce. The hospital fare wasn’t really doing it for me and I found myself humming ‘….hospital food’s gettin me dooooo-owwnnn’ ah la David Gray.
Tell me you don’t find this ‘Moroccan style chicken’ appetising?
(I promise, in that ahhhhh, slop, there is one piece of chicken! Look closer. It’s down there on the bottom right of the plate!)
Final step was to change the dressing on my surgical wound. Nurse Jaynne – who’s heading for a career in the ADF, did a great job getting this scar across my thigh and butt looking clean and ready to go home.
