The Chinese lady

Went into St Helier on Monday where they inserted a drain into my buttock to get to the abscess/pocket of fluid. It was done under a CT scan and was very painful ~ I've really had enough of people looking at my bottom! They have had to leave the drain in so I now have a pipe which is attached to a drainage bag which is strapped to my thigh so it can drain all the fluid away - very attractive!- and I am finding it hard to sit or lie down so am feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. My chemo has again been postponed until 18th April to allow this latest thing to heal, I expect it will stay in for about 10 days to 2 weeks.

There's always a funny and this is a good one....... after I had had the procedure 3 doctors came to check I was ok to be discharged, one of them came back and asked if he could ask me some questions about the procedure, which was fine. Prior to that, a Chinese lady had been admitted and was in the next bed to me, she was a sandwich short of a picnic and was very strange. Anyway, whilst this doctor was having a look at my bum she lifts up the curtain, carefully drawn between her and me and says (you have to imagine the Chinese accent!) "young doctor, when you finished I need word with you" She gets a birds eye view up my bottom and is asked to let go of the curtain; the doctor says "actually I am not a doctor" (he lied!) and told her to let go of the curtain again; she replies " oh, you no doctor? but you velly lovely can I see you anyway!). By this time he and I are almost helpless, but she did let go of the curtain and normality was resumed!!!! I thought you'd like that one.

Poor Amy is off work with bronchitis so we make a poorly pair at the moment, but it's nice for me to have some company other than the cat during the day.

Am going to try to have a lie down and get some zzz's, they seem to have escaped me last night, so bye for now xxx
