Lisa and I had arranged to go to Hyde Hall today. I awoke this morning to find that the picc line is leaking blood out the bottom of the dressing, and I’m worried if blood is getting out, then germs can get in. I called and left a message with the picc nurses asking for advice. 

Lisa picked me up and I put it to the back of my mind. Just as we pulled into the car park, my phone rang. It was Southend Hospital. Could I get the hospital at 1pm? Not really. How about 3pm? Yes, I can do that. Another trip to the hospital, yay. 

Anyway, the visit to Hyde Hall was lovely, but I was very conscious that it was a hot day and should’ve had a parasol or something extra with me.  

Lisa and I had a good catch-up. She also asked about everything and, yet again, I was more than happy to share everything with her. I most definitely do talk too much! 

Hannah took me to the hospital. It was cleaned up, different dressing attached, and I was told to call them again if it was still behaving like that. The dressing felt a little bit better, not so tight, so I thanked her and went home.
