GOING HOME

 MONDAY - Woke up after first night in hospital in Hdu  I was sore and had not slept .They came with my breakfast cornflakes , But is was too low down in the bed to eat the nursing staff needed to get me sat upright and I certainly couldn't do it on my own II wished I could so they removed my pillows and they put the electronic bed in to flat mode this was strain enough and agony .Then they had to roll me  on to my side to get the sheet under me this was agony I had never felt pain and strain so bad what seemed like ages before I  is was back on my back then they had to repeat the process to get the sheet under my opposite side again agony and pain I was hot sweating , finally they had it in place .

I was laid flat on the red sheet then the tipped the bed at my feet end so the bed went on an angel  and I slide back job done the sheet removed and I was sat up so I could eat the cornflakes that  I didn't really want .

Had visitors my daughter and son came I got goodies chocolate , coke and fruit they thought I looked ok sat down doing nothing I am not in pain as  I am relaxed and I am at my best 

TUESDAY - It is not fun I cant cough they have me on liquid morphine codeine and paracetamol every two hours I am walking about very slow I sit in the chair most off the day getting in and out of bed is the worst had another x-ray I asked to see it wish I hadn't my ribs were worse than I thought totally out of line how the fcuk these are meant to heal anyone's guess was reassured they will be fine .Still mobile making it to the bathroom doing laps round the ward breathing not great oxygen levels drop put me on a nebuliser to help clear my lungs my breathing always returns to normal so no major concerns .Moved us from Hdu to normal side ward it was a quick move it was only next room down the corridor three of us went I got a bed side of the window I'am a bit like Hannibal Lecter just want a view from a window see the sky clouds cars in the distance etc, etc 

WEDNESDAY - Told I can go home tomorrow I don't think I am ready they said all they are doing is monitoring my pain and I can do that at home by myself so no need to take a bed up
