Home Home Home Home Home

It's Friday and that means home for Sophie. My heart has behaved itself so hopefully when my caridiology consultant comes round he will say OK to go home. Westy (my husband - I call him by his surname as we were friends first and that's how I know him, Adrian still sounds odd even after 7 years) has a meeting from 4-5 and then he will come and pick me up. It means we will be travelling home in rush hour but if we use Addison Lee it is a fixed price. I really hope I don't get carsick - after last one I got terribly car sick for 6 weeks - interestingly what cured me was my second bout of pericarditis, when I came out of hospital after that I wasn't car sick any more.
The first thing I am going to do when I get home is le on the bed and have a long proper cuddle with Westy, I've missed that closeness so much.
Then some yummy pasta and pesto for tea.
Then sleeping in own bed with a duvet and a new nightie.
Had my last shower for a while (as can't get into ours at home) and have to wait a week before going down to parents, in case any thing happens they want me close to London for a while - nice to know how much faith they have in me.
Primmee and Jaques cane to visit again this morning which is nice.
Just going to rest today as last night I couldn't sleep, the patient opposite me has a special mattress which is not functioning and keeps going off all night with a really loud annoying beep, and am sure the journey home will tire me out.
Despite all the ups and downs I feel this time it has gone better. The pain has been much better controlled and the movement I have in the hip is just so much better that the left. I think the second one is definately easier as you know what to expect. The unknown of everything with the first one is a massive burden that is just not there this time.
Okey Dokey time to divulge in daytime TV - homes under the hammer!.
Bye
Sophie
