I was discharged from Ipswich hospital yesterday. Quite a carry-on because I was supposed to use hospital transport (due to having an oxygen cylinder) but the transport was delayed for hours. So we did it by car in the end.
I am installed at home with a thing to make oxygen that looks like an air conditioning unit- with a long lead so I can move around the flat.
I feel pretty fatigued - beyond anything I have experienced previously. So I sit it out for a while, avoiding germs, until the next lot of chemo - better at home - own loo and a bit of quiet.
I do not have the strength for visits or cards or phone calls - but emails are nice. Xx
About Me
- Lorna Scammell
- Woodbridge, East Anglia - formerly North East England, United Kingdom
- My web log has four strands. It started as a simple sailing log of my voyage from the North east of England in my Southerly 95, LA Girl. As I came further south, the weather and my health deteriorated, so the second strand started, which is a commentary on various beaches and places that I visited. The third strand is about lung cancer. I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in August 2009, having been taken to hospital in Ipswich by ambulance - unable to breath. I eventually returned to my boat in Woodbridge and then came ashore to a nice flat by the station. The fourth strand is about life in Woodbridge. I am now sailing a Jaguar 21 called lookfar. I am also sailing dinghies again and now have a Streaker. Note that sailing in the river is harder than sailing at sea. Lorna died in 2013. This blog remains as a reminder of her wonderful character and life.

Often think of you...
Poor old Raniki is folorn and out of the water, but at least she is being visited and worked on after nearly three years of neglect due to other life events and pressures.
