As letting out time approached yesterday afternoon the pain started increasing, until 6pm when i said i didn't think i was up to going home, so ended up staying in overnight again. I was put on some anti inflamitries (sp) and this got the pain down and i became quite comfortable. The hospital then had 3 power cuts, the entire hospital went out and the emergency generators didn't kick in! Luckily 2 of the cuts were very short, but the middle one lasted about 15-20 minutes! God knows what this meant for people in theater or on life supporting machines! I did hear a nurse say that a bleep went out to all doctors telling all available ones to go to ICU, so i assume there was some panic!
Anyway, its 10am wednesday morning and i'm standing in the car park waiting to be picked up but am 2nd in line after the xmas food from marks and spencers, hence this endless wittering! I feel better than i have since friday, and fairly comfortable, and just have to watch what poitions i stretch to as that can hurt. I'm keeping myself drugged up for a couple of weeks and hope to be back to full service in the new year. A bonus is i am not on antibiotics so can have a bit of xmas spirit!

Are you mended yet?
ReplyDeletegetting there, can do most things now, but don't like putting pressure on the cut or lifting very heavy stuff
