Home again. Home again?

I ummed and aahed about whether to get the chicken townhouse out of the freezer for dinner tonight. Ben's grandmother cooked it knowing that he liked it and Ben said yesterday that he would be home today. But last night I decided not to get the townhouse out in case he didn't get home.

At this stage of the day it looks like my caution has paid off. We're now not sure he will be home today because they can't provide a 'hospital in the home' visitor to give him the last of some chemo. It seems that things change all the time; I imagine Ben might be a bit frustrated. On the other hand this chemo round has worn him out so much that he might be too pooped to care one way or the other. I'll let you know how we go.

  1. oh that's no fun... pity they can't just give you a syringe and vials and let you guys inject it!

    hope Ben gets home soon.

  4. Aya: Now I get it: You mean accredited to do the "hospital in the home" chemo stuff so Ben can go home? Stay tuned for the next blog... I think he will be home tonight with 12 hourly visits back to the hospital.

  6. Yes exactly. I guess I would also need to be a HITH nurse as well as doing the chemo course, and by the time I did all of that, Ben won't need it. Hope they are able to get it all happening so he can get out of the 'Box' =)

  8. Google tells me Townhouse Chicken is a baked saucy chicken dish with rice, swiss cheese and other things. Sounds interesting..

    Ben mate, I miss your beats - and I miss you being patronising to me and others in that loving way only you can.

    Get well dude.
