Back Again - A Catch-Up

Afternoon Everyone,

Some of you might have noticed that there's not been much going on here for a week. My absence was not intended at all but my husband suddenly became ill in the early hours of last Monday and had to be admitted to hospital.

This was him an hour or so later - hooked up to every bit of machinery in a Resus cubicle. He was a very sick man indeed. From Resus he was transferred to the High Dependency Unit where he stayed a couple of days until he was well enough to be moved into a General Ward till he was allowed home on Friday.

But here he is today. Looking so much better (and half a stone lighter).

He had pancreatitis caused by gallstones causing excruciating pain. Further, the machinery revealed that there was something wrong with his heart. Several x-rays and scans later it was discovered he had a blockage in his heart. So he's not entirely out of the woods yet. He's to have an operation to remove his gallbladder first. In the meantime, his heart will be monitored regularly and it's very probable that he will eventually have to have a pacemaker fitted. For now, he's recuperating and taking things a bit more easy than he is used to - no exercise classes, no lifting heavy weights, no dashing about all over the place as is his norm, etc.

So there you have it. Even if I had felt like blogging, crafting, etc., and I certainly didn't, I was either at the hospital, or travelling back and forth to it, for the week. I've missed 'In A Vase On Monday', 'What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday', 'Friday Smiles', 'Rudolph Day' and goodness knows how much else so there's a lot to catch up with but my mojo has gone walkabout and it could be some time before it returns.

In the meantime, I wish you all a very healthy, happy week.

Take care.
