Well I've been and had the surgery, I had all the metalwork apart from one screw which was embedded into bone removed, and now I've been home for a week. I'm on 3 different types of antibiotics and being monitored for liver function because of one of them and I've been "made aware" of the danger of neuropathy from another one. At the moment my head is spinning whenever I stand up and I'm limping around the house with a basin in my hand because of the constant nausea and fear of vomiting. The problem I have just now is how to try and regain control of my blood sugars because whilst I was in hospital my personal medication, Gliclazide, creon and domperidone, was taken from me and it took over a week of complaining and reminding to get them back, I was getting them after meals instead of before and the timing of my Gliclazide was altered and basically just didn't work the same leaving me very sweaty, dry mouthed and up and down to the bathroom all through the night when I was trying to sleep. So now I'm home with antibiotics for 3 or so months that I must take and the side effects of them are mine to deal with, so to speak, so err yeah, swings and roundabouts I suppose because I still have 2 legs and a pulse both of which were at risk a lot more than I was left to think, ignorance being bliss in this case.
Sorry if this seems a pointless postpost, more of a personal reminder type thing.
Again, this is more of a personal reminder,, so, apologies good people, on the 27th April I was diagnosed with Bells' Paulsy after developing a fallen smile the previous day and it spreading up my face so I could neither smile or blink, prescribed steroids with a warning over side effects and whilst in the hospital they made sure it wasn't a stroke with different tests one of which was a brain scan and they found an anomaly but not connected to stroke damage type thing so I've to request another one in week or two, I'm telling myself that it's just previous damage from a motorbike accident years ago but my voice seems to be getting drowned out with negative echoes getting louder...time will tell.
