Bleurgh...

This morning i woke up with the worst nausea.

Even the meds i've been getting in hospital haven't controlled it. They can only give me as much as the dr has written up even tho higher doses are safe.

I got ready to go home anyway but it was a good hour after the official discharge time before i was able to go.

Cultures still aren't in so it's likely they will be negative but i still have to continue oral antibiotics until we get the official report.

Just to top things off we got rear ended on the way home while standing at a red light and they didn't even stop.

We took down the plates and stopped at the police station on the way home.

Hopefully the police can track down the driver.

I still feel awful despite the antinausea meds i took home. The pain is much better than i thought but the pain meds make me more sick as do the oral antibiotics.

I get my stitches out on thursday and a full plaster put on which will be more comfortable than the plaster splint and bandages.

It is wonderful to be home though!

  4. Oh, you poor thing! Sometimes life is just not fair.
    Try the ginger and if that doesn't work try peppermint....it's very calming on the stomach.

  6. Thanks girls

    Ginger has been my best friend these past 5 or 6 weeks. I'm feeling much better today so I re-started my antibiotics which I stopped for a few days to get the nausea under control.
