Friday, Dermatology

 Up, pills, breakfast, get dressed.

I have a Dermatology appointment today, I'm gonna drive but I'm going to take my Dad in the car with me in case I get to tired and can't drive back, Mum is going to stay at mine to watch Theo and weed my garden.

The Dermatology Doctor is a nice guy, unfortunately he can't really answer my questions, DRESS syndrome is rare so they dimply don't know, I'm prescribed some more cream and he will see me in 3 weeks time.

Frustrating but what can you do. 

potter about for the rest of the day.

In with the Doctor

 So i saw the doctor this afternoon. My appointment was supposed to be at 1600 however he was running late so it was 1700 by the time I got in there. I arrived at 1545 and sat in the waiting room out of breath, I was just managing to breath easily when he called me in. We talked through the symptoms I am currently suffering with and he read through and discussed the notes from the hospital. The main point of concern for him (and me) was the getting out of breath easily and the high heart rate, he says my right lung has got reduced air entry so I need to have a chest XRAY and I'm to have an ECG on Thursday when he next sees me, signed off of work until then. Hopefully get some answers soon.

A Very Hard Day

 A rough night, hardly any sleep, a combination of steroids and an unruly patient making too much noise, I can't understand why you would choose to be abusive to Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, some people are just thick. Even more emotional today, I have woken up to an extremely swollen face. I can just about see, I'm not taking this well, I close the curtains around my bed and shut myself away ,curl up on the bed and cry. I refuse breakfast, a brew and I just want to be alone. It isn't until the nurse comes in and needs to do my obs that I show anyone my face, she fetches the doctor who checks me out and orders me onto another steroid, again via IV to deal with the swelling, I'm devastated, I'm swollen from fluids and more fluids is not what I want but I have to trust them. I keep getting myself into a state but when I cry it feels as if my tears are just going back in or staying in my eyes, I know I need to try and stay strong but I'm struggling, massively....

 It's Wednesday, I've been sat in A&E since 4pm yesterday.  Luckily it wasn't busy overnight but still, I couldn't sleep, how could I, I was in a chair in a waiting room. I spent the night talking to a lovely gentleman called Derek, he was waiting for a bed too, but they hadn't even started him on treatment, we keep each other company throughout the night just chatting away the hours. Derek's wife turns up with a bacon sandwich for Derek and like an angel has made 1 for me aswel, I know it's only a bacon sandwich but wow, what a kind thing to do, apparently she had told the Wife the night before she would bring one but I was completely oblivious to that. My Wife turns up after the school run, she's obviously tired but she's bought me some bits and pieces, she's a goodun. The A&E doctors call me in, they want to send me home with some antihistamines for my allergies and a follow up appointment with my doctor, however, I'm top of the li...
