Sorry but after today I keep thinking of the phrase "Never let a monkey to do a man's job". As I predicted yesterdays MRI showed a large residual amount of fluid that needed to be taken off. My partner had the usual 20 mls of fluid aspirated on Wednesday. Today the Neurosurgeon took off 40 mls. She is walking, dressing herself for the first time in 3 weeks. She is back in the land of the living. She no longer feels like she will start to pack it in and she is really pissed off at what she has had to suffer for months. The Neurosurgeon will be speaking to the Oncologist and I think we will finally have some closure to an episode of crap management. The cancer could hardly be seen. Oh for some over-arching case management in the medical system. How much do you have to go through to get something happening!

ReplyDeleteHi S, K, K
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that relief can be so hard to get, when solutions appear so obvious. I really dont understand. But I do understand why you would be so pissed off. Maybe someone will help us all understand? It is time I came to say hello. Call me at home any time and tell me if and when. Very much love, Fin
