Well it's been pretty awful up till now my D has definitely not been good, not that it is ever going to be in the case of a cure but in the last 36hrs or so she has seen a psychiatrist, chatting about two hrs about this "tube" ,then the head consultant visited her and went through the procedure again between the tube and the 24hr situation in having to be hundred % careful as there is this line that is direct to the heart and capable of carrying infection straight there. ,and the alternative oral drug which is not so effective but can be improved with exercise., Breathing, chest exercises walking and possibly swimming. Which is a no no with the tube, can't get it wet.!
The out come is she was desperate to have the tube out, the psychologist agreed she is one of those who can't manage something alien in her. So the consultant has agreed but it takes a week! Part of it has been moved out from her neck and they have to reduce the drug from that slowly and at the same time introduce the oral drug means at least another week in hospital. But the change in her is amazing, she's been sick unable to eat in a lot of pain and driving the nurses mad,, suddenly they have this bouncy chirpy woman! Yesterday her son and l took her in the wheel chair downstairs to the shop and even outside for ten minutes!!! We then discovered a floor that is a restaurant and if she doesn't like what's on the ward the (dinner)lady will order her what she wants from the restaurant and bring it up for her . At the moment she thinks she's gone to heaven! I really hope this carry's on it's such a relief.
PS yesterday took an extra hr each way as sat nav avoided the motor ways 4hrs each way!!!!
A happier update on my D, Pauline
