26 December 2014 – Fairford
We hope everyone had a very Happy Christmas. We should have been visiting Jenny, Mark and the children for Christmas lunch but unfortunately even the best laid plans can hit problems. Ours was Christmas Eve when Gerry felt unwell and had a temperature. Annie rang the Chemotherapy Help Line (as per the instructions given to Gerry) and was told that we should go to the hospital. Gerry was admitted and stayed until Christmas Day afternoon. Whatever the problem, the medics got it under control quickly and he left with even more tablets to take.
Many thanks to the staff at The Great Western Hospital Swindon for their care and kindness (and the visit from Santa and the turkey lunch).
PS If you are ever unfortunate enough to be admitted to the hospital do not despair the food is brilliant especially the soups!
