Where has the sun gone to?

Typical, the whole time I was in hospital the sun was shining and it was lovely and warm, I managed a few days at home but was limited to the time I could spend out in the sun, thanks to the antibiotics I was on. Now I'm free from the IV's and cipro, the sun has gone and the rain has started, I'm in a right huff. :(
Only good thing is the temperature is staying kinda half decent.

Rant Over.................

Update......

all this happened last month so please bear with me and my stupid dodgy memory of events :)

I was admitted to Gartnavel on Monday 1st June in preparation for my port to be fitted. I had 2 cannulas inserted so that I could be hooked up to a sliding scale,was a wee bit nervous because I have not much luck with venflons, (hence getting a port fitted;) ) but they turned out to be fine and I had no major dramas thank goodness. After a good nights sleep I was hooked up to a glucose drip and a sliding scale, my surgery wasn't 'til the afternoon so I just lay on my bed reading magazines and trying to relax until the theatre staff came to collect me. Down in the theatre area, the anesthethist (sp) gave me the General Anesthetic (sp again) to knock me out for the sugery..............Then I woke up.
Groggy and tender, I finally had my port, it's situated on my left chest wall, just below the bra line, I was also started on IV's but I didnt get to go home until 10 days into my IV's as I had problems with my bowels, thanks to the painkillers. I needed 9 jugs of kleenprep to clear my blockage :O I was finally allowed home to finish my last 5 days of IV's.
Had clinic the next week but as I had a cold, I didnt have enough puff for my Lung Function to register :(
I was started on Chloramphenicol for 10 days and they seem to have done the trick.
Just need to get my weight up now and try and get back to a normal routine.

mmmmmm yum

pizza is ready :) its yummy :D

Bit Better Now.........

Went to bed with my dodgy tummy last night, couldn't face doing a feed as my tummy was really sore so I went to bed with my hot water bottle. I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours and couldn't get settled. I eventually got up at half past one, by this time my stomach was rumbling so I had to put on a feed, I went out like a light :D That will teach me to go to bed hungry ( sigh )
I won't be doing that again tonight, I've been ok today, just a wee bit chesty, but my inhalers sorted that out.
I've got a pizza in the oven, and I'll be doing my feed around 10ish, no tummy rumbles for me tonight :D

ttfn

Feeling Yucky :(

It was the Ladies open day at the bowling club on Saturday, and my daughters 1st year in the adult section. Had a great day, weather stayed dry for a time so we actually got to play some bowls before the thunder and lightning rolled in :)

Our team won a prize for the highest scoring rink, and Seonaid won some prizes in the raffle so none of us came home empty handed lol.


On Sunday, we went to Barrys sisters for a big family dinner, there were 20 of us there, and she coped brilliantly, got home at 10 on Sunday night, feeling rather tired.

Today I had a lie in, got up at half one, had a really sore head and dodgy tummy :( took some painkillers and lay on the settee for a while.
When Seonaid got home form school, I went out for a wee while, went to my aunties house for a bit to see if the fresh air would clear my head. 2 coffees later, I came home and made dinner for me and Seonaid. My tummy is still a bit dodgy so I'm going to take another painkiller and do my NG feed then go to bed with my magazines :/ Hopefully I'll feel a bit better tomorrow, I think the weekend has just caught up on me :(

TTFN

It's been a while........

..............since I last posted.

So, whats been happening?

Was admitted to hospital on 30th March to have my 1st port fitted. I had been fasting all day and when I was finally taken down to get the procedure done, the hospital had a power cut :O
Turns out the whole of the west of Scotland was affected so I didn't get my port fitted that day. Got a 2 night stay in Hotel Garters instead lol.

I am now waiting for another date to go in and have it done.


I also had my M.O.T (annual review) last week. Don't know how my lung function went but I do know that I did well in my walking test, managed 450 metres this time, 40 more than last time. My weight is up too, I was 49.3 kilos :)
