Louise is getting home

It's Saturday morning here and Louise phoned to say her platelet count has risen so she'll get the drip out soon and then she can leave the hospital. She is SO HAPPY.

She phoned first thing moaning her head off about blooming drips and being desperate to get out of hospital. I decided this was a good sign so let her rant. She sounded like her papa so I'm quite used to ranters!

Apparently the rash on her legs has got worse. She says her legs look like Santa Claus or some other alchoholic's red face!

She's had so much help again today. Lisa's taken her laundry away to be done and gave her a phone charger. Nee Shar came in at 7am and tidied up her bed area, brought her Burmese tea which she loves and Burmese food which she shared. Bobo came and then brought Si Si Win in to sit with her all day. Si Si Win happily gave up her Saturday to sit in hospital with Louise. Sylvia came in and pushed the medics to take blood quicker and is coming back later to sort out the payment and take Louise home. Her roomates are visiting later too.. if she is still there. What a wonderful community and what kind people. She's very lucky. So we are all happy!
