Apologies for the Blog Silence
Dear All
This is a very swift and apologetic message to let you all know that I am still here.
I have been in hospital for some time. I was admitted to intensive care at St Thomas's Hospital in London UK at the beginning of December with gall bladder, pancreas, liver and kidney failure. Gall bladder, pancreas and liver are now recovering nicely. However, for the last week, my kidneys have still not been operational, and I have been on dialysis. I returned home yesterday for the first time, just for a break until Sunday, tomorow. On Sunday, depending on the results of blood tests, I may be allowed to return home for two weeks, which is what my medical advisors are hoping, but I also have to accept that I may be re-admitted. I am not sure when it will be possible to resume the blog on a daily basis, but I will attempt to bring it back together over the next couple of weeks.
I am sorry for leaving things in a state of limbo - I was taken ill very suddenly, and it is remarkably difficult to arrange anything from an intensive care ward!
My inbox is the scariest thing I have seen since I saw the inside of my gall bladder on the ultrasound, so please bear with me if you are waiting for a reply to an email! I promise to get through the messages eventually.
Thanks so much for all the messages of concern, and all the Christmas cards. I am feeling much better, and will be in touch properly soon.
Happy Christmas!
Love
Andie
