Grandma P's Ramblings Through Life

We arrived this morning at the ward at about 10.15am so a blood test could be taken. The nurse on the ward could not get any blood mainly because Grandma's veins are not good, so Grandpa wheel chaired her to the pathology lab where they succeeded in getting an arm full (a bit of Tony Hancock in Hancock's Half Hour). Then back to the ward for a long wait for the results which came after about 2 1/2 hours showing that Potassium levels were at a count of 6 where normal is about 3 to 5. There were slightly higher levels in other parts of the test as well. After learning this there was another wait whilst the Doctor finished her clinics and had some lunch before seeing Grandma and to decide whether she would stay or not, after a bit of humming and harring it was decided to keep her in and hopefully sort things out. An ECG test seemed to show a slight abnormality and she will have a chest x-ray and more blood tests tomorrow (Thursday). There then was a wait for a bed to be vacant so finally at about 7.30pm she was in bed. Grandpa left the hospital around 8pm. Not wishing to be bothered to cook when getting home it was a stop at the Mc D's drive in for a Burger and Fries which went down very nicely. Now having fed the cats and tidied up it will be time for a hot chocolate and a early night. It's a trip to the vets again for George again tomorrow morning and hospital visits in the afternoon. That should take up most of the day, still it gives me something to do instead of time wasting.

See you......GRANDPA B.
