Doctor's error

Sorry to hear that Rits it doesnt give you much confidence in taking thier advice  hope your felling better now

Just another chapter in the lives of the Bakers and their ups and downs. It was May 3 years ago that Leigh came home and told us she had BC, that was a night mare. Well last week she was booked in to get another mastectomy and start the reconstruction. We didn't know until a few weeks ago just how worried she was about having her other Breast removed,  just in case they found something nasty.

Well she turned up at the hospital last Monday at 7-00am because she first on the list.  Then someone told her that her blood count was not right and she had a liver problem so they had put off her operation. It was the worse day of all our lives Leigh said the thought of the BC coming back was even worse than being told you have it. 7 hours, 2 MRI scans and 1 CT scan later she was told that she had a cluster of blood cells attached to her liver very similar to a strawberry birthmark but it was nothing to worry about since it has shrunk over the past 3 year

Someone special from the BC team had cancelled all her appointments to stay with Leigh and Pete and  help them though the day but that was when the muck hit the fan. The person from the BC team hit the roof they had allowed Leigh to think for the last 7 hours that her BC had come back. Her outburst went around the Hospital very quickly and they operated on Leigh at 8-00pm that evening.

She came out of hospital last Friday saying she felt like she had been kicked by a horse and she would know and the only extra bits she had was the 2 bottles attached to her drains. I phoned her this afternoon and she was walking around tescos with Linda and Jasmin holding her bottles.

Last week we stayed at Minehead and Jasmin had the pleasure of me and Linda looking after her. I got her up and fed her and Linda changed her nappy of course. We also got to see Amelia and Josh Nicolas new little on.

So there is another chapter in the Bakers family history.  

          

Oh my God why does it always seem to happen to Leigh? - glad to hear that all went well eventually   Give her our love and look forward to seeing you all soon.  PS has Jasmine had a sex swap? last I heard she was a girl  

Left me glasses in Minehead not sure what keys I am hitting but all put right now.

You do get put through it. Hopefully this is the last chapter and you can all progress. I've never changed a nappy!

You're lucky Rita I had James and Luke for a while on Sunday - Luke informed me that there was a nasty pong and it was probably James - he was right   my one advantage is I have no sense of smell but it was still very grim smell or no smell

the good thing about changing your childs nappy, is that you can remind them of it in later life, hehe

Went and saw a different doctor yesterday. Very caring and she had read all my notes and explained things so 30 minutes later I came out happier with much lower blood pressure  and a pulse of 62 instead of 44.

And with the blood pressure pills working by making me lose fluid I lost 7 pounds at slimming club. The girls all want to go to their doctors.

Glad to hear you're getting things sorted

She sounds like a much better and understanding doctor - well done on the weight loss tho' - me? I put on half a pound last night, only about four pounds away from target and it's proving very difficult to get there I can tell you
