Greetings from The Christie

[Sepsur]

Just trying to get to the bottom of an infection - got admitted 11 last night. On special unit to check for Covid since I’ve had another hospital admission in a different hospital this week. I have to return my portable heart monitor to other hospital Monday morning - so I hope to get out of here tomorrow once IV antibiotics have done their trick

[Newdawn Administrator]

Sending best wishes and sincere hope it’s not Covid Sepsur!

It’s been a rough time for you with the severe cramps which had you falling and cutting your head.

Hope it’s a quick turn around this time and they quickly get the infection under control.

Time to keep away from hospitals!

Oh dear, you seem to have boarded the 'here we go again' train. Hope you are soon sorted and home again!

[Sepsur in reply to Psmithuk]

Yes - there is a massive dose of deja vu going on here

[fapumpkin]

Blimey, its beginning to sound like the Christie is your second home. Hope you are comfortable and that this infection situation is resolved. Keep well and hold on to your sense of humour

[Sepsur in reply to fapumpkin]

Thank you

[JigFettler Volunteer]

Hiya! Admission with any infection at this time has to be uncomfortable. I am assuming this non Covid! Nevertheless The Christie is a remarkable hospital, so I am hoping you can relax and let the Docs take the strain!

Dig deep - it is the long view we need to take.

Thank you for sharing - the testimonies of others always inspires!

Here rooting for you!

In a dull (today) part of the UK - a tad south of you!

[Sepsur in reply to JigFettler]

Isn’t it always raining in Manchester?

[Hidden]

Sorry to hear you're back in and infected again Sepsur. You deserve a break, hope this is easily dealt with!

[Sepsur in reply to Hidden]

Thank you -

[Mystic75]

Please keep us updated, Miles and hope this is infection is taken care of quickly. Not going to even think it could be COVID.

Hope your next post is written from home.

Big hug,

D.

[Sepsur in reply to Mystic75]

Thanks I will

[JanEyre in reply to Sepsur]

Oh no Sepsur, get well soon, sending hugs to you. 😘😘

[Sepsur in reply to JanEyre]

Good news Covid free but taking blood at 5am is a bit of an ask 😀

[CLLerinOz Administrator in reply to Sepsur]

Great news you’re Covid free. That’s a relief. Hope they get to find out what caused the problem that led to this stint in hospital for you, though.

[Sepsur in reply to CLLerinOz]

Thank you

[Peggy4]

Tough times. Sending best wishes.

Peggy 😀

[Sepsur in reply to Peggy4]

I feel better in here, at least they treat me as the delicate flower that I am.....oh no wait, it’s because they think I have Covid 😀😳

[mrsjsmith in reply to Sepsur]

I am sure you are a delicate flower Miles, just like me.

Thank you

You have had enough to break that wonderful sense of humour, yet you persist and we love the rapport. You make us smile with tears at your bravery in all the struggles you have had. Hoping for this stay to be quickly resolved and find you back home asap.

[Sepsur in reply to cllady01]

Thank you - they used the dreaded ‘b’ word today - so Monday’s treat is MRI, BMB & FKW.

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Sepsur]

What’s a FKW Sepsur?

Hope you’re managing to keep your spirits up. Sending huge best wishes.

Newdawn

[Sepsur in reply to Newdawn]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 - you walked into that one 😜

[Jm954 Administrator in reply to Sepsur]

Oh b***gger! 😕😕

[cllady01 Former Volunteer in reply to Sepsur]

So, the old spider to the fly--trap. Sorry for the until-Monday-at-least incarceration.

[Sushibruno]

Thinking of u Sepsur, how you doing? Hope all is well.

[Sepsur in reply to Sushibruno]

Sore head, sore hip - been off ibrutinib for a week - so the joys of night sweats again - and they feed you so early like 5.30pm dinner - I’m just negotiating eating something - I’m in isolation for fear of Covid - The Christie has a couple of half decent cafes but I can’t go, I’m trapped in a torture chamber of culinary neglect.

[Sushibruno in reply to Sepsur]

Hope u get to go home soon and get to rest. and get over this path you're going through.

[Sepsur in reply to Sushibruno]

Well tbh - I really want them to get to the bottom of what ‘switched’ my brain off Saturday morning - so if I need to stay it’s ok 😀

[Ghounds]

Sending you my best wishes. Hope you feel better soon.

[Sepsur in reply to Ghounds]

Thank you

[very]

Sending best my best wishes, I hope you will soon be out of the hospital.

Thank you

[Eric70]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Sepsur. You are currently in the best hospital in the UK, but you don't need me to tell you that. The spirit there is so different to any I have experienced in other hospitals, they are simply fantastic. You take care. Regards Eric.

[Sepsur in reply to Eric70]

You are so right 🙏

[Fran57]

Wishing you better soon. Keep smiling .

[Sepsur in reply to Fran57]

Thank you

[NaturalWaze]

Great news that it’s not Covid, Sepsur. I hope they get to the bottom of it soon and that it’s all ok! In the meantime thanks for keeping us posted and even providing a laugh or two!

[Sepsur in reply to NaturalWaze]

Hi Sepsur,

I’m a bit late to the party, but still hope things are getting sorted. The Christie is where I’m treated as well. It has a strange effect on me, a sigh of relief every time I’ve walked in since my first visit in July 2012. To me it is one of my ‘safe haven’ places. It always has made me feel very lucky to have the haematology team and the trials team there for me and so attentive.

atb, rob

[Sepsur in reply to Oleboyredw-uk]

Completely agree with you - I smile to myself because I always have moments that perplex them - right from day 1 of diagnosis - today was another one of those days. This is home for the next 7 days.

[DrARDS]

Hope things are on the mend now!🤞🏾🙏🏾

[Sepsur in reply to DrARDS]

Thanks - I’m here a week to run every test going- thanks everyone for their messages,

[DrARDS in reply to Sepsur]

God bless! Stay strong. Hopefully you be back soon and the angels will work their magic very soon 🤞🏾🙏🏽

[Sepsur in reply to DrARDS]

💪🤞🏻 - I’m know without a shadow of doubt that I’m in the best place - ibrutinib has transformed my day to day existence - but it does have side effects - one of those is mini seizure like episodes - I’m sort of hoping it’s not the ibrutinib because I’m very happy on it. Quite prepared for pace maker if necessary & everything else to retain the quality of life I have today.

A little bit daunted by being trapped in a white box for a week after 12 weeks of shielding.

Trying to get sketch pad & stuff over here to carry on with life.

[Newdawn Administrator in reply to Sepsur]

Have they any theories yet Sepsur or relying on the tests to identify/confirm something?

Thinking of you. I’ve had my fair share of hospital food! 😳

Newdawn

[Sepsur in reply to Newdawn]

I think they are hoping that scans / procedures will reveal missing link.

They just mentioned PET scan too - so I’m having the full gamut

[cyclist123]

I hope it gets sorted out soon Sepsur.

[Sepsur in reply to cyclist123]

Thank you

[Ferham in reply to Sepsur]

Hi Sepsur, I'm so late to the party, I hope you will be home very soon, you are in a great hospital and in safe hands . Delighted it's not covid.

[Sepsur in reply to Ferham]

Thank you / I’ve been in and out of here for about a year - it’s a unique place - you are absolutely right 😀
