That is good news Dreamy. xxxx
Cheer up you ain’t going nowhere apart from home. xxxxxx
I feel like I’m slowly dying here. Am now on different antibiotics as the first lot didn’t work at all. Keep having hallucinations and delusions too.
No chance of getting home before the end of next week. They trust me enough,though, to go for a vape in the gardens so tomorrow going home for some different clothes - I may have to venture to John Lewis for new socks and a few other items.
They’ll be livid with me of course, but if I asked them they would only say no. I don’t think they really get people without life partners who have to manage everything single handed.
BTW - the man in the bed opposite to mine is a complete
That sounds awful Dreamy.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m going to NYC early hours Monday.
I will try to log in and support you. X
Well, I hope things go well for you Stateside, Sweetie. I’ll be here or not depending on how much data I have. I can feel the end coming,though.
Oh no Dreamy!
You are just feeling low.
Never lose the will to carry on. X
Put my jumper and leather jacket on to go outside for a vape.
I was absolutely exhausted. I don’t know what that means for my trip to Ocean Terminal today to buy new clothes. I’m not telling the hospital as they would just say no. But I’m down to my last pair of clean socks today.
Ffosse I’m so sorry you are still feeling so unwell. What about ordering the clothes online to be delivered to your ward? They can often do same day deliveries.
Thanks, Anne, which companies offer this? I don’t have a lot of bandwidth
Nwrmind - I got John Lewis to deliver straight to the hospital
God. Life is slow in these hospitals. Before you know it, it’s lunchtime and I’m presented with another meal I don’t want.
Hi Ffosse i was thinking of John Lewis as they are very good at quick delivery. Hope it works out with the clothes.
Try to eat a little. The antibiotics can suppress the appetite but your body still needs some nutrients. They do tend to make food taste funny though.
The Consultant was very vague as he doesn’t have a clue what’s wrong with me.
He’s chnging up the antibiotics because there’s nothing much left ha can do.
Which.if course, won’t work so I’ll be as sick as when I came in like now.
How are you feeling tonight Ffosse? Do you still have a fever? Have you managed to eat something?
My temperature spikes every afternoon, indicating that I have an infection,yet they can’t tell what that infection is.
I feel that I’ll never be able to go home until they either diagnose the infection or it runs it’s natural course. It’s very depressing, not being able to go home whilst all this is going on. And I have to remember that I have cancer on top of all this. Their anti infection drugs have been worthless so far. Yet if I was to go home I’d soon have another 39.5 fever and wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Hi Ffosse. Ive been away from the forum for a while so not up to date with things. I hope you manage to fight off this infection. It must be very miserable for you on top of the cancer.
All the best from me.
Thanks - my temperature has gone back down to 36.7 which is normal,but I expect it to spike again tomorrow meaning no chance of my going home.
That sounds strange, with an infection it doesn’t usually go up and down. The hypothalamus in the brain controls body temperature. Perhaps your treatment or condition has affected it.
Maybe, but mine spiked at 38.8 this morning again and they’ve put me on more antibiotics…I really feel dreadful today, no banter with the hospital staff, I feel exhausted and quite ill.
As I write this is gone back down to 37.6
But these are dangerously high levels of blood temperature to be playing about with.
