Final leg...finally!

Friday 15th February

After another morning spent hanging around waiting for the call to say a bed was free, they finally called just before 1pm. I think we had both almost resigned ourselves to the fact it wasn't happening again today either. We got there at 2pm but Tim didn't actually get plugged in until 4 so it will be a late finish tonight. I'm very grateful that the nurse who eventually put the cannula in today hadn't been let loose with him before. It's the bit he hates more than anything and she bodged the first attempt and had to go for another vein. If the first few sessions had began like that I would never have got him to go back! Anyway last major session is now underway and Sunday night can't come round quick enough. Only good thing at the moment is he has a private room again, long may that last and at least it is one decent nights sleep hopefully. One bad thing is he has no internet signal this time, must be where he is in the hospital I think as he is down at the other end of the ward from last time.

So Friday will now be top up day for the last two sessions as everything has shifted on a day. We saw the consultant again today as he was doing his rounds but he didn't have anything new to say. They weighed Tim again as they do every time he is admitted and he has lost a little more weight but nothing they seem too concerned with. Personally I will be very glad when his appetite comes back and his tastebuds start to return so I can start to spoil him again with food. Ben won't be so pleased as there won't be quite as much going for seconds as there has been!

I imagine it will be me again tomorrow unless an internet miracle occurs for him.
