Wednesday 16 December - peaceful day in hospital

I came into hospital yesterday afternoon and have now been on fluids since 4am today.  I am hoping that they will start the 24 hours' chemo later today.  So far I have had some blood taken and seen the doctor.
I have had an enjoyable day though, chatting to a young ordinand from Westcott House (one of the theological training colleges in Cambridge) who is on a week's placement on this ward prior to doing a day per week with the chaplaincy team.  He and I have talked about all sorts of things - his 5 week old daughter, where he is going for his curacy, holidays in Germany, the Book of Common Prayer, what it is like to be a patient on this ward, his previous jobs, my job...I hope he wasn't bored, but he did come back voluntarily after lunch so probably not.
