5 days on from the operation - unblocking the log jam

Things beginning to move today - including my bowels.

Monday night was not good - I coughed up a lot of phlegm and had a bad night. I did go for a walk on Tuesday but noticed the swelling on my wound got worse.

Wednesday I stayed put in the house.

Thursday saw a trip to the doctors to get some medications to help with pain relief and bowel movement. I also dropped a sick note into work.

Friday was memorable because I got my bowels to move.

Friday also saw a trip to the hospital to get stitches removed but it was too early in their opinion.

I also saw a consultant and specialist nurse.

I have a low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In more detail it is follicular and of type 3A or 3B but needs  a second opinion. I need more tests including PET scan (for which I need stabilised blood sugars) and bone marrow tests. I may or may not need chemotherapy.

The journey has begun...
