As promised my Christmas adventures, certainly different and memorable
23rd December dozed off around midnight and woke up at 2am violently sick continued to vomit throughout night and by 5am diarrhoea began, doctor summoned bloods taken new drip in place. Specialist came late morning and confirmed i had got Norovirus so my Christmas was cancelled and ward closed again, to be honest I was too ill to care.Daughter flew in late at night to leave her mobile phone here so grandchildren could ring me o Christmas Day.
Christmas Day vomit and diarrhoea stopped but very weak and nauseus, I had a cream cracker and tiny piece of cheese for Christmas dinner which tasted wonderful and got the treasured call from 3 very happy and excited grandchildren. Then IV antibiotics almost sent me through roof with pain when vein swelled up so lovely male NNP came and spent half an hour gently stroking my arm desperately seeking a place to site a new canular, he finally found a spot on underside of my arm which was most painful but will serve the purpose.
Sons and OH arrived for visiting and brought lots of lovely presents which included one of those digital photo frames with pics of them all enjoying the Christmas I`d missed so really wonderful, got beautiful new dressing gowns, pyjamas, slippers and big box thorntons; been informed there are nmore pressies coming today which OH forgot yesterday.
Had the best sleep ever last night but have been confined to bed today as blood pressure gone right down again so foot end of bed is high in the air but I am organised have lapton on tray over bed and my box of choccies on chair beside the bed so life is good after all
