3 Too Many

“You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.” – Zig Ziglar

Another day in paradise! Not! Quiet night in hospital, probably due to the drugs. They gave me one last night that would make you drowsy and relax you. Finally went to sleep about midnight then woke again at 5am and couldn’t get to sleep again. Bloody pain has hit new levels.Head is about a 5-6 body is about a 6-7. I couldn’t walk hardly which is not good when you’re busting for the loo. Make a cup of tea and shuffle back to bed. Nurse comes in to check on me and disappears to get some pain killers for me. An hour later another nurse in and asks how much pain I’m in, she to then goes to get pain meds. About thirty minds later I go to find the nurse. Both see me and go bigger we forgot about you. Nice to know I made an impact on them meds on board finally but not feeling any better even an hour’s later. In for one of those days I think.

Sue arrives up as the doctors are due to do their rounds soon. Told docs still about an hour away, so hit the shower. The hot water helps easy the joint pain. Back to bed and out of the lovely open back hospital gown. Never been into wearing dresses really Doc arrives and goes over the CT scan results. Good news is that every thing looks good and as normal as can be (and they found a brain in there still). They are convinced that all the issues have been caused by the anti-nausea drug. They have also upped my pain meds to try to make me more comfortable oh and put me on Steroids again – aaahhhh!!! It just shows that you should always check out what you are prescribed. They want me to stay in for the night again then decide that if by 4 pm I’m OK then I can be let home on special leave but if I take a downturn then I’m to return to my bed at hospital. Well that’s the plan anyway. Trouble is I take a downturn and start vomiting. Not good at all. Rest up for a bit and manage to stop vomiting so I’m allowed to leave.no difference in being I’ll here or at home. The boys send me a lovely get well video message which cheers me up.

This has rocked me a bit the hospital visit and why. I was worried that the tremors were a start up of possible seizures but the docs have assured me that they are not. Also they are talking about doing another MRI just to be sure. How could I let a simple drug like that cause the issues. After I normally check them all out and what side effects can be. I can only put it down to having taken it for 2 months solid without anything going on them obviously I built up enough in my system for it to react. Thank you to those t have helped look after the boys while Sure has being dealing with me. It is a huge help having people to call on at short notice. And those that have sent messages of support thanks to as these help when you’re feeling as low as a snake belly. As I said before I’m bloody sick of being sick and getting sick just so I can live a bit longer.  Still won’t complain as I’m enjoying my overtime that I’m in.

Managed to get let home about 5:30. Nice to be out of hospital. I give Joh a quick call and have a catch up. Lachlan cooks chicken burgers and wedges for tea, and does an awesome job of it too. Quiet time at home not doing a lot as out of energy.  Watch a DVD – Angels and Demons – thanks Shaz. Then its M&D time and bed. Hope you’ve all had a fab Saturday and fun times. Take care.  Home now – yay!!

Kia Kaha.
