Life sure throws some medical curved balls at Mrs A and I. Results from Catherine’s CT scan yesterday weren’t good – her airway has narrowed again and she needs an immediate dilation. So bit of a change of plan today from the one we had of a nice potter around the city shops, to checking into the ENT Centre at Subiaco Hospital.
And Catherine being Catherine manages a lovely smile. She is one brave lady, although a few cracks appeared today. A strange city and suddenly you’re told your airway is back to what it was before her major surgery a few years ago in the UK. Very disappointing – but at least this surgery should make it easier for her to breathe again so she can enjoy the rest of our trip.
Meanwhile Tassie and I wait anxiously in the Zone.
At least she is back sitting on my lap after completely relegating me to food and litter tray monitor duties after Catherine came back on Monday night. Mummy’s girl definitely…
Have to just add that the WA health system, of which we have become more familiar with than we expected, has been impressive. Everything has happened with little wait time, efficiently processed and beats NSW hands down on that front. Whether they can continue to afford it as their economy struggles, lets see. But if you’re going to need medical attention then Perth has our vote.
Just rang the hospital and she is in intensive care but ok…the world turns.
Hope it all goes well and you can continue as planned! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and fantastic that it could all happen straight away as that sounds pretty crucial.
Sorry to hear the news, hope all goes well with Mrs A – we know she will have her 2 best supporters helping her recovery.
Maybe WA isn’t the wait awhile state after all!
Best wishes, Maxine and Richie.
Very best wishes to you both. Hope Catherine has a restful day and a speedy recovery. Thinking of you both from the UK xx
