I receive a letter from Southampton General for an admission a week later than Jo led me to believe, with no indication as to how long I would be staying. “You will be staying for _______ days" states the form. Why bother?
I am upset that they can mess me around like this. I already had the transport sorted out with the Wessex Cancer trust. Now I haven’t a clue what is happening or when. All of this adds to my feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.
I am feeling very down about it all. I don’t feel better as each day goes by and know that I am entirely dependant on the hospital to regain some strength and health. Yet I feel so powerless. I have no confidence in the admin side and wonder what on earth to expect when I ring up next week. It is turning what should be a recuperative time at home into a nightmare. I don’t feel like talking on the phone. I am stressed and unhappy with the way things are turning out, but am limited in what I can do about it. Now it will have to wait until Monday before I can even telephone Jo and try to get to the bottom of it.

!2th May I've just logged in Lin _Peter and I have you in our thoughts all the time. I 'm just coming out of a darkish tunnel caused by a fake journey through my own death. Now that I'm out in the bright lights again I'll be with you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard, hard place that you're in I can only tell you you are never alone.
Kate
Dear Lin,
ReplyDeleteYou may not even remember me,but I can still see you in the grounds of Magee College, with your friends,in the early seventies. I got to know of you again through Kate, who I hadn't actually known either until she turned up at the school where I was working about 8
years ago.
Anyway, I would like you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I deeply admire your courage.
Best wishes,
Valerie
