Well now!

Another week, another hospital stay!

I spent 5 LONG days in hospital last week with a suspected bleed on the brain.......I love a bit of drama me! After a 4 day headache I went to the dr, she in turn sent me straight to A&E, where I was admitted.  I was checked for meningitis, a stroke and sent for a CT scan.  Three days later I then suffered TWO failed lumbar punctures and the full-monty one, all of which showed no sign of a bleed. 

My week involved tramadol, bed-pan shenanigans in the next bed, amazing nurses, pain, noise, low blood pressure, tramadol, lying on my back, hospital food (oh dear lord!), the grim reaper looky-likey in the bed opposite who took a shine to me (was she trying to tell me something?), the lady in bed 1 with a penchant for blowing bubbles through a straw (ALL DAY!), farty pants in bed 5 (open a window please!), no telly, tramadol and the wonderful romanian night nurse who made me tea in a proper mug from the nurses staff room (THE best cup of tea ever!)

We have returned today from a little trip to Scarborough with all the family Cheese (the wind and rain have helped blow away all the pain!)

My poor large-haired eldest had an asthma attack last night.
We ended up in Hemel hospital and were in luck as there was only
one person in front of us.......he got seen very quickly and we were sent home with antibiotics for a chest and throat infection!
Just so she doesn't feel left out, Fluffy youngest screamed out from midnight with an earache......... a day of coughs and splutters and grumpiness today!!!!
YAWN!

sickie

According to statistics more than 375,000 people in the UK will make today, the first Monday in February, the biggest sick day of the year!
Reasons include, post-Christmas blues, having to wait too long until the next holiday, low morale in the work place and the cold weather.............. duvet day anyone?
