Yay!

Just spoke with the head of respiratory, Dr Jones, and he said that if all goes well I should be out of here next Tuesday. Exactly four weeks since being admitted.

One thing that surprised me was that he is in charge of my case and he said it was not until today that he found out that the Nocardia bug had invaded my blood when first admitted. I knew that the day after I was admitted. These doctors obviously don't share their notes!

How bizarre.. Ten minutes ago I had a fleeting visit from a dermatologist I'd asked to see. He grumbled about not usually calling on patients at such short notice, looked at the small ulcer I have on my elbow. Said it was nothing of concern, probably to do with picking and scratching and then left. He was quite abrupt and dismissive.

Move ahead ten minutes and he returns with a completely different attitude.
"I've just had a talk with your doctor and read your notes"  He said he was really sorry, no longer believed it was from picking and that with the number of highly unusual medical problems I have it would be prudent to do a biopsy for a number of possible causes including Nocardia and lymphoma.

Isn't it amazing what a difference actually doing your homework does to your work standard. At least he had the decency to apologise.

I have a tummy ache again today, I've only just been given medication for it after asking the nurses for two days. Ask the Doctor and it was here in ten minutes.

Gee I complain a lot!!  ;)

Two posts in one day... gosh  :)
