Day 32 – Sunday 31st May 2009 – Stuck In Again

June 1st, 2009

We’ve been told this morning that we’re not allowed to leave the hospital today at all!! This is because Josh has his 7th Stem Cell Treatment tomorrow, and that the Anaethetist needs to explain the procedure as its another spinal, listen to Josh’s chest and for us to sign a consent form. This should only take a maximum of 5 minutes, but we’ve got to wait in all day… To make matters worse its really warm and sunny outside, and we’d planned a trip to the park with a picnic. We have to settle for a picnic in the room watching a DVD again.

We’ve not got long to go now, so today we’ve been talking about what we’re missing the most, I am missing my bed, it’s so much comfier and bigger than this one! Ant is missing Matilda… his Playstation and Sport on the TV! Mum is missing her bathl, as her hotel room doesn’t have one. It does have a really nice walk in shower, but it’s just not the same as a long soak in the bath!!

We’ve also planned what we want to eat when we get home! I can’t wait for a Sunday Roast, with all the trimmings, yum yum! Ant wants minted lamb chops with potatoes, as we have hardly had any potatoes since we’ve been here. Mum says she would love a Gammon Joint, with potato croquettes and parsley sauce… Instead this evening we’ve had KFC for a change!! I so need to go to Weight Watchers when I get home, I feel like I’ve put loads of weight on, it doesn’t help that we’ve been eating a lot of take aways and not moving an awful lot.

This evening, we’ve also caught up with Dad, Nannie, Chris and Ben on Skype. It was nice to hear that their journey home was trouble-free, and that they’ve all recovered well from a whole days travelling.

Tomorrow is Josh’s 7th treatment, and so he’s starved from 9am, poor thing!!
