6% of battery.....6% of energy

Apparently there's a Monty Pythons sketch that goes something like "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired"

Had a ct scan yesterday morning, radiologists amusing and compassionate as always, and late yesterday my consultant called to say it looked more infection like than cancerous like, but needed to see respiratory consultant .

She must have chased up folk this morning, got me a "look see" with a lovely Dr PS from respiratory. Had an ultra sound, looked at CT, quick chat etc.

Decided that best thing would be to aspirate some fluid, ( more in one lung than the other) local anaesthetic and needle in the back. Bright yellow fluid... Hmm, not sure about that, no blood in it, a good sign hopefully.

That's been sent away to 'grow' and test etc, and I was given a prescription for some heavy duty never been heard of can make you feel sick don't go in sunlight, antibiotics .

DR KG called again this evening to check up on me, I'd come home and gone to sleep... That's about all I'm good for .... Sleeping , in between coughing bouts.

My daughter in law kindly tells me my oxygen level is very low that's why I'm having trouble thinking/speaking/breathing. I think she's being generous you'll find I'm normally like that ...

We now on wait and see if antibiotics start to make me feel better, and maybe the fluid sample will give a better indication of what infection it is, or worst case it's some kind of cancerous ascites type fluid - in which case ?

Don't ask me anymore questions I don't know anything anymore ...

All I do know is that I'm on a plane next Friday going to see my UK family.... Whatever :-)
