Had visit from registrar who was in recovery room with me at end of operation. I believe she is senior to doc karabatsou. She has seen my MRI scan, and she and doc K are delighted with the outcome of operatioin so far. They have removed most of the tumour.
Her discussion with me was about going home. Do I feel ready to go home? I said I feel weak and that I should stay here longer. She said that I will continue to feel weak and that she believes recovery at home would be the next move. Her next steps are to check that the banister would be put in on my stairs. I am afraid of slipping on steep victorian stairs. She laughed at my suggestion that I could go home and live upstairs until it was put in properly.
Registrar is going now to look at drug regime too. A full departure plan will be prepared, and this will be discussed with Dave and my mum. My steroids will be cut again to 2mg in the morning and 2mg at night.
I am content to follow hospital guidance, so who knows, I may be back in Chorlton tomorrow. Watch this space :)
For future treatment, my next appt with doc karabatsou is likely to be Wednesday. This is where we will look at the results and plan what happens next ...
Well done on your progress. You should be very proud (of you and your family) Look forward to having you back round the corner...when you are ready.
