Very sadly, Hester needs further surgery as the bug is not being chased out of her body as required. This is her update:
"Dear All, Hoping against hope probably, we now know that we cannot defeat the nasty septicaema with staphylococci bug.
The last few days I was again experiencing pain etc. Ultrascans yesterday which showed all was not well.The
artificial hipjoint has to come out.
Had a long talk with my surgeon, who explained what will be done. Depending on what they find ... temporary hipjoint,in case the infection has spread, or a permanent one. The latter would be wonderful, but I will not get too optimistic.
I hope I can persuade Paul not to send emails all over the world continuously, he was up till all hours last time I was in hospital and started again first thing in the morning!"
Let's hope Paul can get to use the Blog to keep everyone in the picture. The operation will be on Saturday. We are of course very hopeful that this latest operation will enable the bug to be well and truly dispatched. Hester is being very brave indeed and positive - as we all know she has the best spirit when most of us would be despairing.
