THURSDAY - Last day in hospital my daughter is picking me up early evening its surreal I want to go home I miss being there yet its a giant step at hospital you need anything you've got it at home its a different scenario if it was up to me the earliest I would be going is Monday .
I packed all my items I didn't have that much a couple of charging cables my Bluetooth iems and uneaten items that had been brought in one being a chocolate orange and a packet of chocolate hobnobs.
I was given a plastic carrier bag full of medication I x box of 500mg paracetamol , 28 x tablets of 30 mg Dihydrococodeine , 28 x Enoxaparin pre filled syringes to prevent blood clots , 100 ml of morphine sulphate oral solution enough for 20 doses and a box of 30 sachets of Laxido they are to make going to the toilet easier but they don't work the codeine makes you constipated .
I got my discharge papers and a sick note for a month I almost dropped my urine bottle laughing I should have I will getting another one of my doctors when needed .
My daughter arrived it had been sunny and warm all day it still was she carried everything down to her car parked in the multi storey and we headed home .
Was great seeing Helen I had missed her I have not seen her four four days and of course the dogs Rosie and Bailey who were excited to see me home .Getting into bed later in the evening was easier than I had anticipated it was not too bad I was awake at two and went down stairs for a drink and fired up the laptop .
FRIDAY - Went for a walk with Helen she was taking the dogs out I only managed to do to the end of the road before turning round I was out of breath and had to make sure far I was at a point not too far and that I had the energy and breath to make it home .
Helen couldn't do my injection to stop my blood clots luckily a nurse lives a couple of doors up she obliged and injected me rest of the day spent just trying to keep on top of medication and keeping pain free finally went to the toilet hopefully the first of many .
