Feeling better - MC/HNY

Firstly thanks to all of you who have contacted to let me know they are thinking about me - you are much better than I fear I would be if the positions were reversed!

I have continued to feel improvements over the weekend and the vomitting is (thankfully) only very occasional. I am still coughing or clearing my throat very frequently - which makes you feel physically very tied and my chest feel sore.

The Stent seems to be settling in well and my eating is looking good. Crusty bread, a nice brie and a bottle of red are a while off - but roast chicken, mash, carrots, cauli and gravy was very nice yesterday evening.

Julia bought me one of those "L" shaped pillows and I have actually managed to use it to sleep in a upright position - something I need to do for a while as the stent settles. My back is not as bad as it was a few weeks ago - but as I am not lying down at all at the moment it is a little tired. Not sure whether to attend the Physio appointment on Thursday in light of recent events....probably won't on balance.

Will try to post a bit more frequently again - now I can get off the sofa unaided!! But if you don't read the Blog again before then then I wish you all and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Happy Holidays are for politians!)
