We turned up at Haematology at 1pm so her bloods could be checked and then had lunch in the hospital café. Her session was slotted for 3pm so we went down early and after waiting for a while Jane was approached by a nurse to be told that her bloods hadn't been tested for liver function because the staff on the Waddington ward had failed to tick that box so it had to be retested. An hour and a quarter later she was called in so instead of it starting at 3 she didn't get going until 4.30. Part way through they came out to ask if I could go up to pharmacy to get her prescription filled ready for her next visit as they didn't have any staff available. I've started to find my way around Lincoln County Hospital and I reckon by the end of this I could volunteer as a hospital guide.

On returning to the Ingham Suite with her drugs at 5.30 I was allowed to sit in with Jane for the last part of the treatment and we managed to get away by 6pm. A long afternoon but Jane is fine and still smiling. Next session is Friday 29th at 3pm.
