Yay I'm back in the real world again. For a while there I didn't think I was ever going to find it again!!
Suzie's just left leaving behind a few emotional Czech nuses and one emotional Brit, it's only been 20 mins but feel lost without her already
I hope she has a safe journey back to Espana and sees her little girl again soon after.
Well I never thought I would be so glad to see a pot of yoghurt! This morning is the first time they have let me have one since surgery.
After surgery I was in ICU for 24 hrs and that has to have been the worst 24 hrs of my life, nausea and vomiting, sweating, no sleep and nurses who didn't speak english! was so pleased when they said i could get up to wash and then i would be heading back to my own room, though the next 12 hours were just a blur of a spinning room. Eventually I took a sleeping tablet which clearly knocked me out if I was asleep when Suzie dropped in.
Was awake a few times in the night and then from 3am onwards I couldn't get comfortable because of the wind pain. I walked, sat, stood, moved bedding to different chairs, raised and lowered the head of the bed but nothing would allow me to relax enough to sleep. Good job really as I didn't want to miss farewell to Suzie.
Right am off to finish this lush yoghurt and watch the birds..out the window
thanks for everyone's well wishes and support, it's made it all that much more bearabe being able to know others have done the same journey xx

I did take the sleeping tablet, problem is I'm a long time user of them back home so they don't work too well for me, especially if I'm in pain. At home to ensur a fairly good sleep I have to take sleeping tab, paracetamol and ibupofen
Plus I think with sleeping on the days before op and through op, I'm actually not that tired! rare for me.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe try your hardest to stay awake all day? So that you get some rest overnight? Get yourself some matchsticks
. They'll give you paracetamol if you ask xx

Well I've just been back to my GP to present him with my discharge note. He was ok, not as excited as I thought he would be, but never mind lol
He did all the usual physical tests, said everything seems normal and fine. He said in view of my 24hr ICU stay he would do a load of blood tests just to be on the safe side.....
....he then went on to say "as your thyroid was low on your last test I also need to check that again" !!!@@!!??? WHAT?!!
If they now turn round, after all these years of me insisting there was a medical reason for my weight gain, (and of couse all the other symptoms they have put down to ME/CFS!) and say I was right I have an underactive thyroid and it could have been sorted with medication I shall be soooo annoyed! At one point I even suggested me taking thyroxine just to see if it made a difference as I was aware bloods tests rarely go deep enough to discover the truth, but he refused!
