holiday in sunny skeg
well its been a long time since i done a update .nothing has really changed with Andrew's health,,his still on dialysis three times a week ,,but recently we had a week in skegness in a caravan at winthorpe ,,,first day we got there Andy was feeling sick ,, we dropped him of at the dialysis centre thinking it was just the traveling,,,but Andy was sick while his was being dialised ,,when he finished a two hour on dialysis,, his blood pressure dropped ,,,it took about three hours for him to recover and he felt well enough to go out ,so we went to the market at fantasy island ,,,when we got back to the caravan after about 3 hours Andy was shivering but felt really hot ,,then he was sick,,followed by a cold sweat,,,i thought here we go again ,,,so we went to the local hospital in skegness and found that Andy had infection in both feet the doctor gave him antibiotics and sent us on,,,good start to the holiday,,Andy was ok after a day of rest , the weather got really hot so that was a bonus and we had a good five days there,,we are hoping to have dialysis at home by september,, i start my training in three weeks at the hospital to put andy on a dailysis machine which could take up to eight weeks but i have done it before so it wont take that long,, in the mean time we are waiting for the work to start in the garden so Andy can have a porta cabin there for dialysis because we have not the space for it all in the house. the hospital got the funding so its all systems go when they get permission from the council to shut the road of to deliver the cabin ,,,it has to be lifted over the top or the house by crane so that's why the road has to be shut of for safety reasons,, i just hope that i can cope with it all, because i no Andy is not the easiest of patients to deal with , any way will keep you updated to all who reads our blog,,,ttfn.xxx
