Hope all goes well in hospital
Yes, much better -all of a sudden I've too much to read/think about and respond to!
The task, getting NHS and social care in working shape, is very large - can't be done by a minister, even well intentioned like Barclay, even if he had a suitable background, as it just get turned into a political game. No good just reorganising the same inadequate resources. My hope is that a Citizens Assembly could be given the job.
I'm ok .. I was ill for a couple of days in Feb, but cause has been sorted by day chemo sessions spread over 6 months. Now I'm having the first of two 5 day sessions as prophylactic treatment to stop it coming back in my brain system. So quite boring days.
The biggest problem is that between now and the end of the next session I'll have a PICC line (right arm to heart) installed so can't do much even at home - let alone finally get back to my normal life.
There is a strange inefficient loop in my session. I am getting NHS care in an NHS hospital but am in a private ward+room, the main difference is that the treatment needs lots of different bits done (for fewer patients), where in the normal wards you have more patients but less work for each.
One of the things they need to do for me is to check and test my pee (I have to pee in jug) - but as they are doing more important stuff this tends to get overlooked. If the jug is full I have to resort to using the WC, then when they check the volume of pee so far they decide there has not been enough (not counting the waste) .. and give me yet more drugs to make me pee more! Luckily I can go home based on blood test reaching a certain level!
