biopsy

All three biopsies came back negative!!!

So it was back to the hospital this morning with Pipocas. I was supposed to get my belly looked at again after last week’s emergency trip due to having an infection.  I was worried because something gross had ruptured through the incision and was looking rather nasty, but it turned out not to be anything serious and I was even told I could stop taking the antibiotics now.  And while there I asked Amazing Nurse Person if she could check and see if my biopsy reports had come back …

feriasanlucar

Had lunch in Sanlúcar de Barrameda yesterday.

It was the first time I’d been out of the house in a week (not including the hospital visit last Wednesday) so I was quite looking forward to getting out and going somewhere nice for lunch with Pipocas.  I was also feeling cautious of overdoing it like I did on my first day out after the liver op. And so of course I ended up going on a six-hour trip in order to eat the famous langostinos of Sanlúcar…

taxi-2

Yet another taxi ride to the hospital today.

On Monday the nurse came over and took out my staples (ouch!) and when I asked him why the pain wasn’t getting any better he just said it was a big incision, plus it was the second time they’d opened the same area, so that it would probably take longer to heal.  I’m also having a bit of leakage  (ewww) but the nurse said it didn’t look infected, and I didn’t have a fever, so we left it at that. And then . . .

Pipocas dragged me out of the house yesterday afternoon for art and burgers. I wasn’t sure if I was up to it as the op was just over a week ago and I’m still in a fair bit of pain and discomfort. But as the weather forecast was calling for RAIN until next Tuesday, I thought I’d better try and get out. And it really was worth the effort. . .

cold snap!

cold-snap

It’s been really cold this week. Almost as cold as it ever gets here during winter. Which might not seem that cold to some of you, but bear in mind that there is very little temperature difference between inside and outside casa az. Also, the living room heater (which is just like this bedroom one) has gone wonky and will now only work if it’s taken off the wall and placed upside down on the dining table. Go figure.

And so I am writing this from bed, wearing a t-shirt and a sweatshirt, a cardie over those and a scarf … the duvet (sweatpants and socks on under that) comes up to mid-chest, and the heater is on. But while most of me is feeling warm enough my hands are freezing, so I think I’m going to have to invest in some wooly gloves and cut the fingertips off.

Can’t imagine how I’m going to do chemo in January as the side effects include not being able to even touch anything cold (because it hurts like hell). Ah well, one day at a time…

Friday looks like it might be a nice day to go out. Pipocas and I have a date to go and see some Rodin sculptures in the Plaza Nueva around midday if I’m feeling up to a walk. She just sent me an email saying “It can’t stay this way, can it?” (referring to the cold). I sure hope not, especially with that possible long weekend in Málaga coming up…

How about you guys – are you keeping warm?
