Thursday 27th Revisited

The Paracetamol drip didn't touch my pain so Morphine was administered orally which failed to stop the pain, so in the early hours I was given a Morphine injection, that seemed to do the trick :-)

I forgot to add that every night I was in hospital I was given a Heparin injection which is to stop my blood from clotting and I had to wear anti-emobilsm stockings for the same reason.

In the morning I was visited by 9 doctors much to the amusement and confusion of the other patients on my ward of 6 beds They seemed to think I was someone important and started asking lots of questions, I remained vague keeping the charade going, some fun must be had out of this) who I shall give a quick description of:

Opposite me was an elderly man, can't remember why he was there, but he kept trying to remove his catheter, much to the annoyance and frustration of everybody on the ward or who worked there, no one wanted to see him hurt himself by pulling it out or trying to wander about with it attached and all us patients continually! Chris, who had recently had a Haemorrhoid removal operation but not been able to do No 1's or 2's since, poor bloke, he was in agony :-( There was a lad in his 20's who was passing blood as well as Urine who went home today but came back in tomorrow?! Another guy who was an addict with a severed artery who apparently had been dead for a while but came back. He was waiting for his Methadone for days but managed to cope really well without it hahaha. Another guy who had Pancreas trouble and was in pain. When I moved to 8X on Friday night, Pancreas man and Chris would be there too.

Later this day K visited and came with me as the ported took me for my first scan. Apparently I was totally out of it making my drip tube in to a bubble blower pretending to blow bubbles and not making a lot of sense, this time is extremely vague for me, funnily enough.

This whole period of time just described and the following few days must have been a horrible period of time for K, I can not imagine what she went through, but she was strong for me :-)

I could only drink fluids this day but I slept better, physicals and mentally exhausted!
