Whilst I am not feeling great, I am better than I was yesterday. Both temperature and blood pressure are more stable and they have stopped the hourly monitoring. Had a nice snooze earlier.
They have actually done the 10pm meds at 10pm

Glad to hear you're a little more comfortable this evening stroppy.:-x

Just nipped to see if there was any news - glad to hear there's an improvement, stroppy 🙂 Here's hoping it's the start of a proper recovery 🙂
Things always look better after a snooze.
Bonus - a meds nurse with a watch & knows how to use it 🙂

15-05-2013 1:09 PM
Now, now Mercs - think they use duct tape these days!.
Hope everything is going as well as it can be.

I just wish I could get a decent shower! With a bit of luck I might get a wash sometime soon.
Hip itself is relatively pain fee, but shoulder is very sore where they have put in a central line. They had a canula in my atrn, and that is VERY sore stiff and painful with a rash where the adhesive was.. There is a canula in the other arm, and that too is still and sore. I hope that they might remove that today. I will also be more comfortable when they remove the oxygen.
Doing o.k.

So glad to hear that. We were concerned when you didn't post. Hope you are de-canulerd later & feel less restricted. Keep on hanging in there.:-D

Sorry your having a rough time stroppy , sending healing vibes & gentle hugs :-x

I can sympathise with you fully, just having had all these things (to a lesser extent). I had a canular in for days that dried up and was just sore. When it was needed it was blocked so I had to have another one. That was flushed out three times a day, but was never used again! I still have the scar, three weeks later from the first one. Am I the only person who is too agoraphobic to use an oxygen mask!! How silly is that??:^O I also was allergic to the adhesives used.
Have you any idea when you'll be able to escape yet? And on the whole. would you say this latest visit was a success? Hope so. Take care stroppy.:-x

Very glad to hear you're doing OK.
Would a mild steroid cream help with the allergic rash? The sort they sell in the chemist for stings etc.
16-05-2013 1:19 PM
I find a mild antiseptic creme such as germolene clears the allergy rash as well as anything.
16-05-2013 2:22 PM
I can remember when Germolene was pink and smelly and came in a little pressed cardboard tub.
I can also remember turning the table upside down and rubbing its legs with germolene, hoping it would fly, like in the Magic Faraway Tree... :8}
16-05-2013 5:42 PM
Well, it doesn't matter where you rub germolene, I'm definitely not flying anywhere.
Will reserve judgement on if this a positive experience
16-05-2013 6:30 PM
I didn't fly anywhere either.... The anticipation was good, though. I decided that germolene was just the wrong sort of pink ointment.
16-05-2013 6:34 PM
My mum used to work where they made Germolene. The factory closed down about 17 or 18 years ago and my mum worked there for about 25 years. Must admit, I think that Germolene is good.
Hope that you are soon feeling an awful lot better and I am sending you some more gentle hugs.
