Boixing day run

Got my trainers on an headed out for a run before the hospital visiting schedule. Why is it called boxing day? I must admit I didn't know so when I got home I googled it... here's the answer.

The village was full of people walking around HAHA! they don't know what to do with themselves when the shops are shut :-) I managed a 6 miler.

Good news from the hospital - He can come home today :-D, but he has to go in on Friday for his next lot of chemo.

Hospital Trees Xmas day 2006

Coming out of hospital tonight they had all the Xmas lights on :-) I liked this tree the most - looks kind of creepy.

The hospital had put a really good effort in today - presents, mince pies sherry and everything :-)

Hospital Update

Just back from the hospital.

Some good news - The xray showed that the tube had moved but had not fallen out, so they managed to push it and wiggle it back into postion (Ouch) and restitch him. The antbiotics have kicked in and taken the top of his temperature. Also the infection seems to be under control as well. If all goes to plan he should be out in a few days - but the lucky chap has chemo next Friday :-(

I think I'd like Santa to bring the cure for all cancer to our house this Chirstmas, I'm not that bothered about an XBox 360.

On a funnier note - Some family in the ward had a massive argument about tomorrows Christmas dinner plans... LOL! you're in a cancer ward I think there's bigger things to worry about than turkey and sprouts... tw*ts!

Well that's Christmas over...

The fastest Christmas breaks ever. Got down south yesterday ok, a few traffic jams but nothing major. Did a quick 3 miler for funHad then a cheeky whisky coffee - followed by a red wine, YUM! Then we got a phone call. :-(

Dad's been rushed back into hospital as he has got high temperature and no immune system to fight it. But the reason he has a high temperature is a bit grim... the tube that he has in to his gut to feed him looks like it has slipped and he has been pumping liquid food stuff straight in to his body...not good! Also if this is the case he will need an operation to sort it all out (and being xmas no surgeons are around at the moment).

He has had a load of test; they have taken him off chemo and put him on antibiotics.

Fingers and legs crossed all goes well. It never rains eh!
