Nana

Posted Oct 20 2011 5:58am
Started IVs yesterday, i'm on Tobramycin and Ceftaz like usual. My lung function is down to 37%, weight is 56.8kg, not sure if that's down/up, not really interested! Got a headache yesterday and woke up with one this morning which paracetamol doesn't seem to be shifting, hoping it will settle down, really can't face having headache for 2 weeks.
I'm taking ondansetron for sickness, certirizine to try prevent me getting sore, puffy eyes and i've also started a 5 day course of aciclovir to treat a coldsore that popped up to say hello on Tuesday morning.

The nurse came from calea this morning to do my tob levels, this is to check the levels of tobramycin in my blood after the first dose, as too much tobramycin can make you loose your hearing.


Found out today that my Nana was admitted to hospital last night, she is currently having chemotherapy as she has terminal lung cancer but her platelet count is very low (it should be 150 and I think my mum said it was 39) so she is having a transfusion. It's bad enough that we know her cancer is terminal and her treatment is to give her longer, but now she might not even be able to have anymore treatment so it's very worrying, my Mum said they will find out next week. So fingers crossed the news isn't bad next week as so far my Nana hasn't had good news and I think she deserves some.
