My new home

(This post is actually about yesterday.  I fell asleep before I could publish it.)

So today went very well.

This morning I got my platelets with no issues. Down here, they concentrate them to help get them in faster.  The whole bag was done in six minutes.

(My new room and home for the next month)

The central line is in.  I didn't get sedated for it which was fine.  It's really only an odd feeling and the radiology department has mastered doing them in under 10 mins!  I don't have a good picture to show as there are bandages. I will get a better one soon.

Central lines are fantastic.  They stay in for about 3-6 months and replace any needles I would normally get for blood work, IVs etc.  We are already using mine which means my arms can get a rest.

The staff here are fantastic.  Everyone is so friendly and sweet.  One of our PCAs even fed David and got him a cup of tea.  He's asked to be admitted.  The PCA said it was her mission to get David to eat more vegetables.  She's picked a difficult mission for sure.

Also great news!  We have secured accommodations closer to be hospital in time for my Aunt Linda to come. I am so relieved!

Well I'm off to try to sleep. Love, hugs and kisses
