A huge thank you to all
Well I'm here on the other side of the "operating table" consultant came to see me last night, he said it went to plan, he didn't have to open me up either as he planned not to, he managed it all with laparoscopy I think he called it.
Other than the usual amount of pain plus more due to my broken pain/nervous system, I think I am ok
Couple teething problems with my own medication where my pregabalin was 2 hours late, they held back my baclofen until I absolutely insisted that the spasms and cramps in my tummy area would not be continued to be welcomed, they FINALLY let me have it but being two hours too late already, I was in agony for a while.
Then came "bedtime" meds which they said I couldn't until 2200 to give the 6 hour difference that my pregabalin is supposed to have, didn't end up being given it until 23something with the sheer amount of people due to have meds. This was when I noticed my Quinine Sulphate wasn't there. I queried it with the nurse and she was confused too because it Had been prescribed with my 0800 meds....
Those of you who know what the drug is USUALLY prescribed for, will know that having it at 0800 is as about as useless as a chocolate teapot. (It's prescribed for my NIGHTTIME spasms and cramps)
PLEASE TELL ME:
Why I do not recall anyone warning regarding the fact it would fill with blood and lots of VERY audible comedy fart noises for the first day and night?! Lol xD I swear it's so loud my entire bed-bay can hear!! Hehe! xD
I have a patient controlled drip with morphine which Is restricted per hour. Which is actually causing me A LOT of pain at the mo (well, the cannula is, it's on the inside of my wrist and currently bent up if I use my hand so I am gong to call a nurse for help in a minute.
I also have some pump up "air" boots attached to my legs, which keeps making me think Nike, Marty and Doc
I am a high risk of clots already, never mind after my op and not being able to move...
Anyway, I can see staff and need to talk about my cannula so I'd best get off. Will use this post to keep up with updates.
Best wishes,
