medical intrusions

I suppose I should mention what has been done to me in hospital!  nothing much.

a cannula in one arm, dripping in medicine and saline.

quite a few but not too many pills now and then.

I find i can swallow pills with a few teaspoonfuls of yoghurt 

...with water, a pill just swirls round my mouth and 

I fail to swallow. yoghurt was a valuable suggestion from a nurse.

by various means, tablets and IV drip (I don't ask for details) I have been given antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti jack (no, not that last),new style nebuliser (new since the old asthma puffers.) a very clever design.

, perhaps others.

and I've given just a small number of blood samples.

so treatment has been minimal and not too intrusive 

I've said it before: medical treatment is simplified if the disease (my core disease of brain cancer) is untreatable.

to to chorus of

... always look on the bright side ... :-)

cheerful? yes

... deb will be in tomorrow, I'll be home in less than a week, then back to the annoying but painless  fading away.

oh, yes, the flu came from a granddaughter, thanks :-( but, having tried it myself -- she now has my full sympathy, poor kid :-(

the usual mix of treatment for unidentified infections.

... I'm gradually feeling and getting? better.

still stuck here for at least a couple more days.

remember my comments a few days earlier about the cancer doc? one of her assistants dropped by today to ask a list of standard questions.

standard stuff that, over time, we have already spoken about with the doc.

deb wondered, later, why he did not just read the doc's notes

even in the first 4 or 5 months of "treatment" by the doc, I noticed several points discussed which she had forgotten. or missed writing into or reading from her notes.

and here's the biggie:

she sends her *assistant* to ask,

... and if you are dying -- how much effort do we put into resususitation?

I know there's a phrase for it.

the only phrase I can think of right now is,

pathetic b,body imitation of a cancer doctor.
