Had a hard time lately, went for a week away with family to the Lake District and spent the first two days in bed then to hospital. I've got acute cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation) and an abscess on my liver. After seeing the consultant in Furness hospital he suggested I make my way back to Kent so I could be treated at my local hospital and my wife wouldn't be isolated with nowhere to stay. Spent a further fortnight in hospital on IV antibiotics and sent home with a PICC and daily visits from nurse. After a couple of days they said my infection count had improved and I could go onto oral antibiotics. Hoping when they come today then PICC can be removed. I've got a follow up scan beginning of August and a consultant visit a week after to discuss gallbladder removal. Sorry for the long post, had to cancel a cruise we were booked to sail on Monday 22/07. Hey ho
