Hi everyone, how’s everyone doing? I’ve been getting more and more irritated as each day has on. First off they moved me to a different ward so they would be able to keep a better eye on me, but in doing this rather than seeing a doctor two or three times a day to twice maximum and most of the time it wasn’t the consultants so they really didn’t know what was happening which wasn’t helpful. One day I was waiting on biopsy results the next it was to keep an eye on me, to the next just not knowing themselves.
Apart from sitting around 24hrs a day withering away, not eating properly, sleeping, getting fresh air and not getting things when needed or wanted such certain foods which I ended up just getting some brought up for me. I gradually became more and more vocal about how fed up I was and how much time was being wasted just sitting here for so long and how much I was deteriorating because of it all.
A real turning point was when I was speaking to the dietitian who was going through everything that I should be eating and I said “pretty much my normal diet I have at home” and that I’d need to get it all brought up if I wanted to have it. So today I just had enough as I knew if I wasn’t out today I’d be there till at least Tuesday which I wasn’t having. Mentally I would have cracked and physically I’d be way past any simple way back to ”normal”. It was also escalated to more than just the doctors and even before then they were quite keen all of a sudden that I could go home, within 5 hours I was pretty much packed and ready to leave.
So now I’m home-home relaxing, waiting for food to start the recovery, which in all honesty has already started as I’m not even half as pissed off as I was this morning. As Dorothy says, there’s no place like home. I even feel a bit of motivation creeping back in already, not that I’ll be pushing anything any time soon. I’m gonna relax and focus on moving around the house and very gradually build up. The best part, I’m looking forward to it.
Now I just need to get all this wind out of me, so there will be a lot of tooting over the next few days.
The best part of the week, probably the only other good thing to happen was a purchase, I’ve been after a monocular for a fair few months but it hasn’t been available and sold out everywhere. It was due to arrive in stock “April 21” so pretty much every few hours this month I was refreshing the page to see if it was back in stock. Randomly about 2.15 in the morning I refreshed and “Add to Basket” was available. Straight away it was added and purchased without a second's hesitation, the following day it was delivered to my parents who brought it up to the hospital the following day. Very impressed with the glass quality, coloration and fringing too. All very top, but not quite, spec and with a 30 year warranty it's built to last. It’ll be well used especially with the car adventures and being out and about.
Anyway home now, happy, food that I’ll slowly work through the next 12 hours or something and my own bed and no disruptions equals happy Lan.
