I got into hospital with the usual delays and frustrations, on Friday. Felt very stressed and ill by I got in.
I was fortuneately spotted by the consultant - who took one look at the fluid build-up and put a draining. I have to say this is the only bit of efficiency I have seen to date - so a. So a lot of frustrations.
I havE low blood pressure so also feel shaken and immobile.
Today - not good either as I felt more ill than usual. I have had the drain removed - it was about 8 litres yield. Also managed to spill a lot as one bit had not drained.
Altogether horrible. I hope it will moderate in a few days as it did last time.
Thanks again for you emails - I barely have strength to write this so am unlikely to reply. But know I have enjoyed and appreciated them.
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.

Good to hear from you and well done for managing to keep a dialogue going despite being so poorly! You're a true inspiration to all of us: the strongest woman I've ever known in person!! We are all thinking about you XXX
My sentiments entirely, enormous inspiration xx
Our thoughts are with you.
Hope you start to feel a bit of relief soon. Xx
Lorna, many from the DYC are thinking about you at Christmas.
Dear Lorna,
I'm writing from Seirian's parents house in west Wales. We've feasted (as instructed by the church) and done all the other usual Christmas activities. The children (now 6 and 4) have been fantastic, especially considering the weeks of ratcheting tension as the build-up intensifies (they've been singing nativity songs at school since early November!). Looking forward to seeing Aidan at New Year: it's a shame we don't see as much of him since we left London. Also, you may be interested to know that YouTheria is about to come out of two years dormancy: I met a bloke from the US who wants to write a pipeline for accessing the database: all I need is a working API. I know this is important but wouldn't know where to start: fortunately I have colleagues who do. Anyway, I wanted to send you our best wishes at Christmas and to say that our thoughts are with you.
Nick & Seirian
