[swbarnett]

I am home. It feels wonderful. I am once again totally impressed by the health system in this country, from the wonderful Paramedics that came to pick me up from work, to the ED staff, to the Doctors and the Nurses on the wards.

Sorry to give everyone such a fright, though if it helps I managed to scare the shit out of myself fairly well, I dont think I have ever been that worried about myself before. Paramedics are nothing short of amazing. From the first comment "dont need to ask who the patient is" to the last comment "I almost cant tell where you are, you are the same colour as your dress all over now" to the double large lines of fluid being pumped into me. Having your blood pressure in your boots like that is not very plesant at all.

Still I have survived. It will take a few weeks for the results to come through, but mean time life goes on.

Thanks for all the wonderful good wishes too, made all the difference

Damn she's back, ok everybody time to stop talking about her now.

this is so good news it needs to be repeated.
Yei!!!

and please pretty pretty please take things slow......real slow

[Mom]

Yeah well, got to keep things interesting after all

The stay in Ward 6 was most interesting and entertaining at the same time. I got to share a room with 3 80+ women with a range of problems, not least of all confusion and deafness. It was a bit challenging at times to stay calm. I had to ring my bell each night to get a nurse to come and sort them out.

One helping the other untangle herself from the wires (drip line) she had become tangled in was a biggie one night. Once free this old girl who is not to walk unaided, got out of bed and headed for the door, stretching the drip line as she went The other came to the end of my bed while I was snoozing and started talking. When I opened my eyes she was staring at me with her hands hovering above my bare feet. She told me she was just saying "I wonder if she will wake up if I tickle her toes" Fairly sure I not only would have woken up, but kicked out at the same time.

Glad to be at home

Back to work tomorrow. I have to just get on with shit really. I cant stop and wait for something else to manifest itself, sadly I dont get paid to sit at home. With any luck the results will come back with something that sticks out like dogs balls. It will be so obvious and easy to sort a quick "snip" and a few pills will sort it for good.

Positive thoughts all the way here

oh the images.....

I have actually written a synopsis for a one act play based on my hospital stay this time. Along with my own life experiences, this is a story I want to share. It has characterisations, and many notes of behaviours I want to share. I will beef it out a bit over the next little while and see if I can get it to a pre production stage. It is called "Clinical Notes" and it is a celebration of mothers and how important they are, and how we need to appreciate them while they are vital, nuture them when they are not, and remember them with love when they are gone.

[Mom]

Doogal, I cant go anywhere until you have fitted my LED lights, and betterish is not to be sneezed at, it actually feels wonderful

Boy that's good to hear. Hope you stay that way.

Between you, me and the gate post, I hope so too. Would have been good if they could have given a reason for the turn, though it has been suggested I am allergic to my taxi. I am taking it again in the morning, hope that is not true

VERY glad to hear you're feeling better!

Feel wonderful, roll on the Norf trip!

Damn she's back, ok everybody time to stop talking about her now.

Best you let on the secret code that makes your posts invisible

Great to hear Mom!!

Kept you in our prayers

I thank you for them.
