Ooof. Well, it's about half past eight and they haven't managed to kill me yet wth their beastly needles, etc. Felt like they were having a damn good try try this afternoon, though, I have to say.
Just kidding. But honestly, I was lying there saying "OK, OK - I give in - I'll tell you everything..."
Doctory person is saying "No Kate, we're not trying to torture you, we're just having trouble inserting this TPN line cos your veins are so small."
I said "Well, you could have fooled me."
TPN is a form of intravenous feeding, by the way. Normally not a huge problem to insert the tubes, but of course my stupid tiny veins had to go into horribly painful spasms and generally be uncooperative so it took three attempts.
Ach - I'd much rather talk about horses! I'm going to put up a frightfully braggy thread about my latest Tobago news!
But thank you very much everyone for your kind messages - they really are helping to keep me going.
