11+ Elite Coupon-Crazy Glitching Mega-Bargainhunters

Evening guys :j

District Nurse came lunch-time and changed Alan's dressings. The one where one of his stitches hadn't healed is doing very well and she used a smaller dressing today, saying it should be ok without a dressing at all in a couple of days. When I changed his stoma bag this morning, the top of the abcess dressing came away. The wadding was full and it had leaked slightly overnight, but we left it in place as I didn't want to touch it myself :eek: so Alan stayed in bed, or lying on the top actually, until the nurse came and changed it. It had been two days since they took the drain out, but the plugging/dressing will be changed every day from now on, which will be better. In reading the letter from the hospital out to the nurse I noticed that it said 'if any sign of infection, prescriber antibiotics' and 'if any sign of colorectal which is the cancer, refer immediately to surgical assessment unit'

Visitors didn't manage to get here today which was disappointing for Alan, but at least, in expecting them to come, I did do the hoovering and more tidying up :eek: :eek: I actually think we got the message wrong and it is next Thursday they are due

I rang doctors and got Alan's new meds put on his repeat prescription and then prescribed/dispensed for me to pick up at tea-time, when I picked mine up too, and I dropped in the letter from the hospital from Tuesday while I was there. I then had to go to the chippy yet again as Alan fancied steak pie & chips, but, although he enjoyed them, he said the pie was heavier to eat and would be having fish in future. I had a Rustlers cheese Burger with a few of the chips

Bad news for my disabled friend/neighbour today, as her elder sister passed away in hospital at 8.30 am in London, so I have been round to comfort her twice today. She is distraught as she was very close to this sister as there was quite a gap between them and her other sister. She had cancer and it had gone right through her body, into her brain too. They all thought that she'd known about the cancer and kept it to herself mainly due to the fact her own daughter was fairly near death with cancer too, but in fact the nurse told them yesterday that she'd been right though all her notes and cancer had not been mentioned before, despite several investigations including scans. I must say it was hard to hear her description of her sister dying, knowing of what is to come with Alan, but she had to talk it through and I am the only one she has to do this with

By the way, Alan's oncologist's appointment has come through for Friday 30th March at 2.30 pm, which conflicts with our meeting with Macmillan regarding DLA claim, etc, so I have contacted Macmillan to try to rearrange that meeting, asking if it could be brought forward to the Monday 26th so the claims can be done and submitted, out of the way. Alan pulled a face when the appointment arrived, as this brings him nearer to making the decision as to whether he has chemo or not

Alan went to bed at 8.30pm but we are getting up early tomorrow as he wants to try to get out, so we are going down to the car boot for an hour or so about 8 am. I will get the wheelchair out of my friend's boot in the morning we bought it for her to use, but it is still ours and use that for him as he will not be able to walk around or stand for long, but at least he can see his friends and have a chat, plus we are going to have breakfast there. The District Nurse isn't coming until after lunch to make sure we are back

Now I must plan my shopping list for tomorrow afternoon with those conditional spends and lots of coupons and offers :money: :money:

never ever leave anything cooking in the oven or on the hob while you "nip out" even if it's only the school run, too often you may get distracted or their may be traffic, it's not worth the risk and afew extra minutes saved

I'm so glad to hear your sister was ok, but I just wanted to add to above message......

NEVER go out and leave a dishwasher or washing machine running or have one running when you're asleep, as they can catch fire if they develop a fault, it's simply not worth the risk. I believe more washing machines have caught fire than dishwashers but more people have washing machines so this should be disregarded, and having been in the situation of having to call the fire brigade out when mine went pop and decided to flash bright orange inside before going straight out again and wafting a distinct smell of burning under my nostrils, I just wanted to warn everyone.

And test your smoke/carbon monoxide alarms obviously

I look after my old Mum and I always switch off the dishwasher and washing machine before I leave at night. She thinks I am mad but if there was a fire she would not make it.
