Well!! TWTWTW, Glad to be back from hosp. well, sort of !
Apart from 3 square meals a day, unlimited coffee/tea/biscuits and a bevy of young, lovely nurses hailing from all Asian countries in the neighbourhood, what is there to miss?
I was carted off in an ambulance by 2 charming young lady paramedics who turned up very promptly with a mountain of electronic devices after I'd had a severe case of BPPV in the shower. My carer said I looked like something the cat had dragged in and promptly called the ambulance. No question of searching the internet for anyone with similar symptoms; as soon as I left, the carer also had to leave the house for obvious reasons, so the Air/Con. and a ceiling fan were left running all week. No2 Son was in Tassie!
An outside clothes airer would have had many more washings, given our miserable weather.
Anyway, out of all that I received a brain scan (don't laugh), a bladder scan which made the doc think I was suffering bladder retention , (so he shoved in a catheter,)! and a chest
X-Ray. All OK, so moved to hospital No.2 arriving at 11.30pm! Amazed to find later that 30 minutes cost my insurance co. $948.00, the day rate. All depends on where your bum is on the day, so the accounts lady explained. Discharge day will be a freebie as my bum won't be there at midnight!
Our miserable weather continues! the rain was very welcome of course, not only for putting out the many fires, but also filling up farm dams which had practically emptied because of the prolonged drought, but a bit of sunshine now and again would help lift the spirits. Talking of which, I learned during my scans that caffeine is a very good liver detoxifier; so there you go; one Shiraz, one coffee,one Shiraz, one coffee; one Zzzzzzzzzz!
