Situation moves fast and changes and changes

Yesterday I had the PET, nothing to report as it was really boring. Sara saved me with her patient wait with food to welcome me after a 8 hours fasting.

Then I had to run home pick up my basic stuff and head to hospital as they decided to get me in for good.

Of course I forgot a number of things. The worst though was to get to hospital and conclude there is no internet connection. Oulala what now? We will find a solution. A bite here a bite there, checks and more checks. Karl, the guy in the bed in front establishes communication and I start to settle. Got TV. Realized there is a nice alentejana Maria Ivone in the ward which will be helpful for my family. Then sleep.


OMG the noise. This is just like my worst nightmare staying at the hotel Crowne Plaza in Brussels. The central air conditioning doesn't stop. So had to sleep with ear plugs.

06:00 they wake me up for more checks. Around 07:30 I thought we were being invaded by a bounge of football fans. A lot of people speaking really loud. It was just the change of shift.

08:30 the doctors (4) arrive. I need an ultrasound to check if wound is healing. And they will start chemo Monday. Then one says and you need a bone marrow exam. And I went like what? Another one? False alarm. He didn't now I had had one already. They go away, another doctor comes back and says after all they spoke with Prof Bower and I should go home for a week to cure the wound!!!!

So if they don't change their minds I will pack again and go home.

Sempre que te acordarem de madrugada lembra-te que aqui a tua amiga tb está acordada - a dar de comer ao "chato" do teu sobrinho. Podes sempre ir à sala comum e ligar - já estou a imaginar as conversas interessantes que iremos ter...
