Another week slips by and still we wait for a call to action.  Having the "lung team" headquartered in another hospital does not help the cause as records etc need to be moved around within the health district.  Hopefully this will get resolved early next week - knowing our luck we will be called in at the same time as we are planning to do other things to celebrate Siân's birthday!  The waiting for decisions and then sight of a campaign to get this thing beaten is getting painful!

Apart from the impatience, the steriods are still doing their job and holding off the pains in the head (which also need to be resolved as well as the main problem).  They have, however, caused a change in taste buds (can barely remember what coffee should taste like) and also appear to be causing cramping in my hands (although not a known side-effect).  The most recent nail in the coffin is that the Doctors have told me to stop driving until all the test results are in and they can judge if I would be a danger on the roads.  Likelihood is that I will stay off the road for sometime so we are looking at a complete change of transport, replacing two cars with one practical solution.  Should keep us entertained!
