Shocked but not feared

So I thought we’d be telling you about the results next.

 I was still suffering on Saturday, but not so much as to stop me having a good game of golf with Alan and Bill – thanks guys. I got up early on Sunday and at 7am went out with the dogs. 

But I tasted blood and by the time I’d got back to the house and told Row there was quiet a stream of it. She called the hospital who said dial 999 and along came Luke from the paramedics and later an ambulance crew. 

By 8 the bleeding from my throat had stopped. But off we went to The Lister at 8.45. Soon after, having bypassed A&E, I was seen by the ENT consultant. They pumped me full of morphine and anti-biotics and there I was back in ward 11B – this time in a room of my own.

The doctors came to see me at 8am and decided I needed to stay another day.

The pain got up as high as 9 out of 10 during that evening.

The doctors came to see me at 8am today and decided I could go home this afternoon.

On the good news front, I persuaded them to clear out both ears of this year’s potato crops. Surprise, surprise, that was why I had such powerful earaches!

So now I've got 4 types of painkillers, 2 types of laxatives and 1 type of anti-biotic – and guess what – I feel better.

The Consultant – I put it in capitals ‘cos he called us in last Thursday just to let us know that he’s really important – has suggested that the news on Thursday is encouraging. Can’t wait!

Next up – it’s The Results Show.
