Some bad news from the hospital, I need a bone biopsy to determine the type of infection I have, I'm struggling to see my phone screen atm so I won't be answering replies to this post but thank you for your kind wishes.

Exactly 7 weeks ago today I blacked out and damaged my lower back, after two weeks of strong prescribed painkillers and nearly 5 weeks of a mixture of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen I'm virtually pain free and haven't needed any medication for the last two days. 😊
My mother's just tried to get up off the sofa, fell back and slipped off the edge, two me and a neighbour 20 minutes to get her back up, awaiting an ambulance to check her hip over. 😕
I'm going to be discharged from hospital at some stage today and continue my course of antibiotics at home prior to my big operation to remove my dead kidney.
There's a lot of gloating on here about London, and parts of Essex & Herts, having to move into Tier 3, this is not a race to the bottom, we'd all like to be in Tier 2 or lower where hospitality is open and we can all go to the pub and have a pint without a "substantial meal"

I haven't posted much today as my mother took a tumble this morning, hit her head & ripped two flaps of skin from her elbow, phoned 111 & the District Nurses, the DN came to dress her elbow and checked her over, they're back on Tuesday to change the dressing.👍

Knowing that I'm housebound after being discharged from hospital an old mate thoughtfully brought me some freshly fried fish and chips for my lunch today. 😋
