Fraid the mass on his adrenal gland is huge so he is going to have another one in 6 weeks.

If you stand behind him, there is a hard lump/bulge sticking out - all down that side is black/blue with bruising.

He deffo has to have one to check it and if it hasnt gone, has to go back in to hospital have it dealt with.

I have just got back from the shops and have bought him two pillows so he can sleep upright, he is in bed now and looks shattered.

He has a 'substantial mass' on his right adrenal gland and is to go back in 6 weeks for another scan and if it is still there, will need to go into hospital for surgery to remove or drain it.

He has a cardiothoracic appointment in a week and an appointment with another doctor as well. Also an appointment to get his blood taken for his warfarin doses which I am going to do today.

Thank you everyone for the kind pm's, I am so pleased he is home - he looks a bit pale on the sofa now and cant lie down due to his partial lung collapse, but he has had some lunch and is going to try and get some sleep.

He is one lucky guy, I read the discharge summary and thank my lucky stars he is still here.

Thanks Eddie for taking me to the hospital today and bringing me back.:wub:

Brilliant, glad he's home! Great!!

Hi PP,

'Glad to hear that Mr PP is back home with you at last. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him but he's indeed lucky to have your TLC to help him along. You've had more than your fair share of trauma and loss these last few years, I really feel for you. Please stay strong and look after yourself.

Regards,

Paul

Thanks everyone.

At 12.45am this morning he woke up in pain and had to have his morphine, when he did get back to sleep he was shouting - although he doesent remember.

He seems better at home, I think sometimes hospitals can only do so much.

OMG Sam, I turn my back on BE for a couple of weeks and look what's happened :eek: I got your pm only today as we've only just returned from our holiday on the coast of Washington state. I've read all the posts and your blog in an attempt to catch up. Thankfully Abdel appears to be home. Please keep us updated. I am so sorry I wasn't around for you. Love you lots and a big hug for Abdel :wub:

Home's definitely where you want to be when you're on the mend.

Cheetah7 Jul 29th 2009 5:23 pm

Re: Thinking of you PP
 
Well hes needing the morphine at nights, he had a bad day yesterday with pain and his breathing, he went for a little walk as physio told him he should do daily walks.

He is actually in bed now as he was in pain. Ive got to take him to the doctors in a minute for his blood test to check his clotting times for warfarin.

I think he has an xray next week to see what his blood clots are doing.

One minute he seems 'normal' and the next he is in pain/tired - I guess that is to be expected.

He needs the walks to limit the risk of clots forming or the risk of a chest infection rising,keep encouraging him:thumbup:

We have to go to the doctors soon, I think he is looking forward to going out.

Armed with his bag of medication and warfarin card:lol:

He is struggling big time not working and having his arm in a sling. I want to photograph the hard swelling on his side - it looks like a huge bulge from the side of his T shirt, rather marvellous it is.

Actually one side of him has turned dark purple and its spreading round his stomach.

Funny how they cant repair rips, his chest sort of looks mashed, his ribs are stacked - I wonder how that will heal?:eek:

Hey PP - he is home, that is the main thing isn't it! :thumbup: I'm sure he is happier to be home with you than stuck in the hospital.

:lol: I love you Bernieboy, you do make me laugh - something I could do with.:wub:

Abdel INR results have dropped down from 2.5 to 1.4 in 3 days - the GP has upped his warfarin, he didnt seem too worried and was pleased he is managing little walks.

He now has a bloody huge haematoma on his right leg under his calf, and is limping badly, its been xrayed though so not broken.

I told the doctor that I still get scared and panic about him, he just looked at the discharge report and said as it was a life threatening situation, that is understandable - so I dont feel so daft now.

Anyway, it took us ages to walk back home as Mr PP was breathless - they predict the lung might take a while to re-inflate, hes having xrays next week to see if the clots have dispersed.

We are having a 'cinema night' tonight, we have got 2 good DVDs out, popcorn, chocolate - but no alcohol as he is not allowed to drink:eek:, - and I am really looking forward to it. Something I took for granted before but now doing this sort of stuff means alot.

I dont care about going out on the piss, our priorities have completely shifted and I reckon for the better.:thumbup:

I still get excited when I see stuff like that growing. Our neighbour gave us a palm tree in a pot and within hours, Rocky had climbed into it and pulled it apart and dug all the soil out.

So I can only get my trees once I can get some sort of fencing to fence the top off to stop him getting there.

Mr PP dreams of growing his own herbs so they can go in the protected area. Our garden is a landscapers dream (or nightmare) but we would need a small mortgage to get it as we want it.

I would love to grow flowers but with Super Kelpie I cant do that either.

So thank you for the cyber flowers:wub:

I love the idea of fruit trees, etc in the garden. Over the years (in Southern Africa) I've had (well, inherited from previous occupants) oranges, lemons, naartjies (a variety of clementine), several peach trees - one produced peaches the size of grapefruits :cool:, papayas and an enormous avo tree. It's so rewarding to grow and harvest your own fruits and veggies :thumbup:. Not sure what fruits will grow readily in Canberra... Guessing it'll probably only be the less interesting ones like apples and pears.

Glad you liked the cyber flowers :cool:.

Best wishes to you and Mr PP :)
