Sally update - me gotten home a while ago from the hospital and currently having home delivered pizza which i only do when Sally is not here. It would be downright cruel to have home delivered pizza when Sally is here, while she loves pizza she cannot have it due to her gluten intolerance, it would make her sick. However i have noticed that they now make pizza with gluten-free bases which i didn't know about and was certainly not available last year, so perhaps something worth mentioning to Sally when she comes home from hospital. Anyway, it has been a year since i last had pizza, being a year since she was last in hospital. Last year it was Pizza Hut, but in a year they it seemed shut down the shop in my area as when I went online to order it, it rather rudely informed me that my address falls outside the delivery area so i would need to pick it up. Well blow that, I ordered from Dominos instead. Pity really, Pizza hut has better side dishes but Dominos is also delicious!! ;) I always get the garlic bread though there is yet a store that does garlic bread as good as mother used to make them, no one on this planet makes garlic bread as good as mother does, one of many things i miss from mother :( nevertheless the Dominos one is pretty good.

Anyway regarding Sally..... she is in the acute care ward which is where everyone goes after they been through ER and before being assigned a ward, usually when a bed becomes available. There are no TVs in the acute care probably cos people are meant to be in there for only a short time, perhaps a day or two, but last year Sally was there for close to two weeks before finally moved to a ward with a TV. But right now she is driven crazy with boredom and she does not suffer from ADHD like i do! LOL! I could not cope in the acute care wards!!!!

Boredom aside, it seems Sally is a very sick little critter, more sick than we realised. it was indeed a good thing she went into hospital, one of those "cruel to be kind" thingie when it came to having that infection on her leg!! Firstly she is anemic and actually required blood transfusions!! She had one such transfusion already and is due for another tonight or in the morning. Then she has a bladder infection which explained why she was needing to go to the loo every 5 mins or it seemed that way when i need to help her up and help with the cleaning, etc, and getting her back into her chair - thus driving me around the bend!! Well in the hospital the nurses are paid to help her but they were being driven around the bend with her toileting needs, so they put a catheter on her which means it gives the nurses a break and Sally can have some decent sleep!! Then also she was suffering from dehydration, not drinking enough or perhaps she was going to the loo so often. As for the original reason for her admission to hospital, the infection in her leg, well they took samples and are currently having those samples tested to see what nasties are residing therein. So it seems Sally will be in hospital for a little while, until at least they can figure out what is going on with her, in particular why she is so anemic!!! But it seemed she managed to score a pretty good doc of Indian descent, he agreed to allow her to continue on with the Essential Oils treatment while in hospital. Normally alternative remedies and the medical establishment does not get on well together! The Silver Chains nurses does not like alternative or natural remedies, dismissing them as "hocus pocus".

Further updates as it comes to hand......
