So had the week just gone as holiday from work and as usual get a cold. This one is a real corker, had chest infection a month ago and had two lots of antibiotics and they sort of cleared it up but still felt a bit lingering but thought it would settle down. So Monday last week started a streaming cold and hacking cough, yep typical for when I'm on holiday but lucky was just at home so didn't ruin anything. Spent most of my week at various NHS
locations as had my normal monthly blood test on Monday, MRI scan on Tuesday and follow up appointment with my GP on Friday to see how I'm getting on with the new meds for the nerve pain issues and also to discuss my latest blood test results.
Well, as I put in another post she also had the blood test results for the Lupus test and it came back positive - which is sort of good news as I know what is causing the pain and exhaustion now. Liver, kidney and potassium all up the creek and have another chest infection so more antibiotics which really muck up my digestive system. So sat there this afternoon feeling rough and coughing like an old navvy and then get a bowel obstruction. Come on.....really don't need tthis when was hoping for an early night as have work tomorrow. So pain getting horrendous in bowel and after litres of sweet tea, massive amounts of massaging the stomach area to move blockage along it eventually gives way and ileostomy bag starts filling like mad. So now it is 1am and still up as want to make sure blockage completely gone, muscles in stomach ache like hell, coughing like mad woman which isn't helping muscle pain and all the time thinking - hell! got to be up in 6 hours to go to work!!!!
Just stop the world for a few hours and let me deal with one thing at once, please.
