Testing times - Covid in 2022

[Marth]

I hope they help you feel better soon, Tsu.

[Tsu]

Me again. Still here.
Not feeling any better but a very nice doctor from the renal team came to see me this morning and she said they thought it was an infected liver cyst.
They're going to start me on a course of broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics and try to move me to the renal unit when a bed becomes available in a couple of days.
Honestly she was so nice.

[Rosa]

I'm glad you saw a nice doctor! Everything crossed that the infection is under control soon.

[Luna]

Lordy that sounds horrible. I’ve had fatty liver stuff going on which has made me feel duff at times but an infected cyst must be godawful. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon x

[Kenickie]

Glad you've got a plan and a nice doctor. X

[Duophonic]

I hope you're doing ok Tsu. Glad to hear there's a solid plan in place.

[Disco]

A lovely doctor can make such a difference when you feel so unwell. Hope you’re on the mend now Tsu!

[Tsu]

Thanks all. I have an MRI booked for my bile duct tomorrow at 11.
The antibiotics have kicked in and I do feel a lot better.
I think they want to see if the cyst is actually blocking my bile duct and what they'll do if it is.
As polycystic liver disease is fairly rare, Steve (the consultant) got all excited reading my notes this morning.
I'm still hoping a non-surgical solution is the answer.
They've promised to try to parole me for Christmas.

I hope you get sprung in time for Christmas, Tsu! Being in hospital must be a logistical nightmare with the journalist not being able to drive.

[Estrella]

Oh Tsu. That’s no good. I’m glad you had a nice doctor and hope you can get home soon.

MrE has come down with The Rona. He is like death warmed up. And S has started coughing now too. Silver lining means everyone is at home with the new puppy for the foreseeable.

All of that bile building up inside you without you being able to fire it out anywhere must be a nightmare. :lol:

[Tsu]

All of that bile building up inside you without you being able to fire it out anywhere must be a nightmare. :lol:

You have no idea! :crazy:

The Journalist has bought a bus pass and got up extra early this morning because I said I fancied a Pret egg and avo baguette. If I tell you he's been magnificent I wouldn't be overstating it.

[Disco]

Glad to hear you’re being looked after and getting some decent non-hospital food.

[Topcat]

Great to hear that things are heading in the right direction mate, long may it last.

He's a real keeper!

[FiveO'Clock]

I'm glad he's looking after you, Tsu. Get better soon!

[Tsu]

Being moved to renal this morning. I really need a shower but can't get my cannula wet so I'm hoping a solution can be found (perhaps using blue tak and sellotape ) before I show my bare arse to the radiologists.

[Beena]

Good luck with it today, Tsu. The Journalist is an absolute sweetheart.

[Hobbes]

Gosh Tsu, you are really going through it, you poor bigger! Glad you are being well looked after, and hope you feel better soon.

[Luna]

Hope the mri goes okay and that someone can give you a bed bath of sorts
