I think I’m going to be back in hospital over the festive period and my cellular data doesn’t seem to let me onto the site. Still, I hope people enjoy themselves.
I have problems signing in and out on a mobile for some reason. But the chemist delivered to me today (I didn’t think they would as I had been in hospital) so I have some oral hydrocodone which should come in handy if my fevers get particularly bad.
The Cat Scan was lengthy today (most of it spent waiting). I bought a few things from M & S on the way home. I hope I sleep well tonight and don’t go back to that pyrexia state.
Dreamy I am worried.
Are you at home?
Yes, I am home, not feeling too bad with no temperature spikes. My biggest worry today is how to get some food as a Tesco Delivery could likely be spoiled by my going into hospital.
I feel the cold a lot (even though it’s not really cold), so I heat up one room and retire there during the day.
I’ve had a bath and a shave and am going to attempt to go out - biggest problem for me is fatigue; frequently I have to stop and catch my breath.
Ah you are home. That is good.
I am braving Tesco today also.
I hope the day is not too bad Dreamy, take things slowly.
I don’t feel so good now, I’ve got the central heating full on, am wearing a jumper yet feel shivery cold. According to my thermometer, I’m OK but I don’t trust it as it underread my temperature compared with a hospital one by a full degree.
I’ve got paracetamol to take, though.
Not risking it, especially overnight I’m going into hospital tonight although how long the ambulance will take to get to me is anyone’s guess.
I don’t get it, I’be been eating over the past 4 days (something I wasn’t previously doing) but still feel like rubbish.
Dreamy that is the right place if you feel you need it.
Like I said ages ago, just phone 999.
I am sorry you may be in a hospital for Christmas.
But, better to be in safe hands. x
I’ve been waiting for an ambulance 4 hours now.
Don’t get anxious, it will come. x
That was difficult but wise decision to get help if you think you needed it. Take care and let us know how you are doing.
I certainly don’t really feel better from a hospital stay. But the other, the unthinkable, dying at home because something was missed terrifies me.
I’ve no energy although the staff let me out the short distance for a vape is good of them I’m exhausted when I get back.
You are back home Dreamy.
You are not going to die, stop thinking that way.
Keep us posted. xxx
If you’d actually read the thread for once, you’d find out I was in hospital.
I did, I saw you were home. I also saw you thought hospital was a waste of time.
It did look from the first sentence in the post as though you were talking about a hospital stay that had now ended. Would be good if you could persuade a porter to find a wheelchair and take you there and back for your vape. They sound kind there and it is Christmas.
It’s good to have some company, even if it’s in the form of hospital nurses while you condition and treatment plan are still tentative. I know the rest and food are never as good as home, but you need some time to let your physicians sort through your tests - make an integrated plan between them and have it gone over with you thoroughly.
Since you will no doubt be seeing a hospitalist or one of your regular physicians this is a good time to make a list of questions that I know are weighing on you.
Hope today was a better one.
I’m to get a unit of blood (2 hours) then will be allowed home, hopefully the new blood will help replenish me somehow.
