The life of a cow

Well, I'm home.

Pain is ok, had the wound checked at the hospital today and it's ok.

Trying to sort out getting back to uni now.... can't have too much time off!

For amusement, here is a picture of me in hospital



Might post a pic of the scar when the dressing is off... ha ha.

the doc has just been round and said i can go home!!!!!
this is good news.
not sure what time yet but at least i'll be home to watch the england lads kick ass tomorrow! yay!
now just got to sort out what's happening with uni and my placement. yay?

i like pain killers. ha ha.

those who know a bit about surgery know that you have to wear stockings to prevent blood clots, those who have seen my legs (a rare occasion, to be sure) know they are not small yet folloing measuring for said stockings i was given small/regular, god only knows how big your legs have to be to warrant a larger size and what do the stick figures use?

here end my pointless post.

ok, still no doctor, and no clue as to what is happening yet. buggerfish.

getting just a little fed up being in here, got too much work to be getting on with for uni.

bah.

meh.

bah.

this morning i feel like i have been run over or in a fight with tyson (though my ear is still intact), having limited movement at the waist means i'm compensating with everything else and now everything else HURTS.

meh.

anyway, i may well be going home today, just waiting for the doc's say-so.

chipper.

i will disclose other feelings on my stay in hospital when i am out of here...

most people who know me know that i cannot sleep during the day, right now it's the complete opposite, i'm struggling to stay awake. another 3 hours before the evening visiting time, prob get some kip in before then.

well i've made it through surgery!! i'm actually feeling like a right invalid at the mo, movement very limited, in fair bit of pain, waiting for the morning drug round. still don't know how the surgery went, got to wait for the surgeon to do his/her visit later. on the antibiotics now to try and prevent any infection from what was around the appendix, infection would be bad as it would mean staying iin here longer. i really hope i can get out of here tomorrow as it isn't fun.

going down for my op very soon. depending on recovery i could be out fri. i forsee a rough night ahead... at least based on my experiences on a surgical ward. see y'all soon.

thanks to the wonders of modern technology i am able to write this blog from the comfort of my hospital bed (!). yes it is true i have bee admitted to good hope hospital and i am currently waiting to go down to theatre, how exciting. it has been interestng seeing nursing from the other side. dudes, thanks for  visiting, peace out. 

I've been pretty busy lately what with starting back at uni and all.  Loads of work on at the moment to get done and I start my next placement on Tuesday with the district nurses.

Sooooooo sooooooooooooooo busy.

On a plus note, I've nearly purchased a book case which is something I've always wanted.  I've made the space, now just need to go and pick it up at some time soon then all my books will be on lovely display and I'll have some room for a change.......

Will my room be tidy and organised.... surely not.

On another plus note, I now have my Rocky style hoodie for running in, handy as it's getting pretty chilly (and rather dark) on the early morning runs.
