Suppose I should update everyone. I had another bleed on Tuesday, a bit heavier than the first one, so bang went all my leaving-the-building "privileges"! It's not that anything I did brought it on, but just that each bleed leaves me a little more fragile and prone to bleed than before. So Wednesday I wasn't even allowed out the door of my room and I tell you, walking down the hall to get a jug of ice water on Thursday felt better than you can imagine!
Yesterday was a good day. Isaac lost his first tooth while he was visiting with me! I was so delighted that although there's now no chance I can get to his 5th birthday party, I'm not missing all his milestones. He came to me this afternoon and told me the rest of the story with a certain narrative aplomb:
"I woke up in the night when my pillow fell down, and when I put my head down I felt something cold, and round, and metal, and shiny!"
Sam heard shouting about 3 in the morning and went in to see what the heck was going on... "Look! Look what I found in my bed!" Apparently his pillow didn't actually fall down. I guess he just added that part to make it more dramatic.
Went (in a wheelchair) up to visit Sam's Grandma who's in hospital as well at the moment after falling and breaking her hip. She's doing a lot better than I expected, given her age and Parkinsons. She's in the room directly above mine.
