I am now skirting black clouds and the edge of turbulence. No way round it so the captain has switched on seat belt sign (in the form of liquid morphine).
I woke at around 1am and found I could not speak (some may say that is an improvement), could hardly get my mouth open and could not swallow. Tongue was coated in a black substance. Called nurse and liquid morphine provided in a syringe so that I could rinse my mouth and gargle. Made a huge difference very quickly. Had the same problem at 6am and more morphine handed out.The real main problem is the blister on the side of my tongue which stops me chewing and swallowing.
Hair is falling out but only very slowly!
On the bright side Mary's ticket let her out the car park last night!!
The facial maxilla people want to check my mouth out as swollen again and tongue sore so I get to go on a little adventure - a walk down to x ray- may not sound exciting to you but fantastic to leave my little room even if for a short while :).
The other good thing is that the consultant came round today and is pleased with my progress. He said that it may be a false blip but my white blood cell count has started to rise.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteThat does not sound very nice at all. If they didn't let you have the gin with your tonic, how come you get liquid morphine? Quite exciting that the white cells might be getting responsive.
I won't see you this week, but hope to drop in next week
Shalom,
Michael
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteHecky thump you do sound to be having some dramatics! At least Mary didn't have to spend the night in the car park!! :)
Speaking of drama - this man of mine managed to drop his motor bike on his foot on Saturday!! He had just finished hobbling from a gout attack now he's hobbling again! What can I say?? Maybe he should stick to a pushbike!
You are always in our thoughts & prayers.
Hugs Joyxx
Watcha John,
ReplyDeleteIt might not always seem like it from where you are sitting - black, sore tongued and gasping for a beer but I think you are doing marvelously. Your attitude and positive thinking should be a lesson to all of us who waste time moaning about trafic jams, the weather, the government etc. Only Mary could pick a fight with an automatic car park system! Looks like she's won though - never under estimate the power of being very annoying to officious types.
take care, love Caroline and Paul x
