Sorry, not been on for a while. After two Dr's appointments last week hubby was admitted to hospital as he was in a great deal of pain. GP thought it might be gall bladder but the hospital were concerned over the amount of travelling he has done and the places he has been to. They took loads of blood and spent the first 3 days mainly ruling things out - TB, malaria, HIV, Hepatitis and a host of other stuff. He finally had an ultrasound scan on Thursday that showed two patches on his liver - a CT scan on Friday diagnosed them as abscesses on his liver. He has two, one 2x3 cms and one 4x5 cms. He's off for a biopsy this afternoon where they'll take a culture and also try and drain them. They still don't know what has caused them though so will be looking into that more closely but this could be what the underlying cause of his kidney infection last month. On top of that he was so fed up on Saturday night, there was an old boy on his bay with dementia and also deaf so he went outside for a ciggie and to get some peace and quiet - his blood pressure has gone down quite substantially and he must have had a surge or something as he fainted and managed to smash his face on the side of the pavement!!! He had an x-ray yesterday, no damage to his jaw but they think he might have broken his cheek bone, another x-ray at some point to confirm that. And on top of all this Mum is unwell again, she's still on the rehab unit but has another urine infection so is getting very confused and muddled again. One of my sisters is on standby for her as I'm going over to visit hubby each night after work.......
