A very frosty morning

Back at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital this morning to see the consultant, the wound appears to be slightly infected so they’ve placed me on a further course of antibiotics. If it gets any worse they’ll take me back into theatre, if it heals then they plan on admitting me again in the new year after my follow up appointment for a further investigation under a general anaesthetic. πŸ™

Back home again

Visited the doctor last week and was put on antibiotics over the weekend but things were much worse by Monday so I was admitted again to Ward 7 at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital and in theatre that evening. The staff on Ward 7 are really lovely. I was discharged on Tuesday afternoon and the district nurses are visiting each morning to dress the wound. The sister visited this morning and she isn’t happy with the wound so she may refer me back to the hospital depending on how things progress over the next few days. πŸ™

A cold bright Sunday

I spent quite an uncomfortable night and when the district nurse visited this morning she referred me back to the hospital where they put me on another course of antibiotics to see if it will clear up the infection that I’ve developed. πŸ™ Other than the trip to the hospital a fairly quiet day.

I’m keeping up to date with all the album and print orders that are continuing to come in but I can only work on the computer for short stints, luckily I’m not the sort of person who lets work build up into a backlog.

A bright Tuesday

I went over to my Mum’s this morning and replaced the lighting pull switch in her bathroom and fitted a new Venetian blind in her kitchen. The bodyshop collected the green BMW 525i this morning to repair the vandal damage to both sides.

I had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning, he’s prescribed a further course of antibiotics to be taken if needed but thinks that I’m going to require more surgery. I have the follow up appointment at the Royal Glamorgan hospital next week, we’ll have to wait and see how it goes. πŸ™

Mark and Laura called in this evening to collect the DVD slide show of their recent wedding.

Monday, my quiet day – well almost

The antibiotics are so far working well so I’m managing to avoid an immediate visit back to the hospital for more traumatic treatment options. Sent more print orders off to the lab this morning. A visit to the bank to pay in another batch of cheques then on to Piccadilly Photographic in Cardiff to replenish my stock of folders followed by some shopping at Morrisons in Llanishen.

A quiet evening relaxing.

A thundery Wednesday

A visit to the district nurse and the site of my recent surgery has now healed which means that no further treatment is required. Unfortunately there is an additional problem that requires an immediate referral to my GP who has put me on a further course of antibiotics for two weeks but if there isn’t an improvement by Monday I’ll be going back to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital for further treatment. πŸ™

Welsh class this evening. Very impressive thunderstorms tonight with both fork and sheet lightning.
