Hospital Food...

Let it be known that the food at a certain South Auckland hosital well and truly lived up to its reputation during my brief stint there on Friday night.

Backing the truck up to the start to catch you all up on the events of the last week.

Seems little turtle here didnt like me eating or drinking. Period. Unfortunately the human body NEEDS such things in order to carry on living. And after a few days of no sustenance... things have to be done. In this case it was 6L of saline via an IV line within 24 hours to put me back on an even keel hydrationally speaking. And the cyclizine injections give you one helluva trip! The kind that I imagine heroin and P addicts pay mega-bucks to get, and one that I will quite happily NEVER go through again! Seriously not a good feeling thinking you are going to fall out of bed while sitting down. And it makes talking rather difficult. And as we all know. I like talking. I like eating too, but the food at that hospital even had ME picking through and eating very little.

I digress.

The point is, we finally won a battle against little Turtle here, and I am back to eating and drinking like a happy little pig-in-the-mud. Albeit with a handful of various medications prescribed by the hospital with strict instructions to keep taking them, regardless of how good I am feeling NOW, as the fact I am feeling good right now only means the drugs are working. And we want them to KEEP working. so I will be taking them until 16 weeks before we attempt to cut back on them.

Oh and even better, I am currently home on Annual Leave for the week to get some rest time while i sort out a new morning routine since the first lot of tabelts have to be taken 1/2 an hour BEFORE eating... time to wave bye-bye to grabbing a muesli bar on my way out the door at 8am in the preschool/work dash

Anyway... a book I have been dying to get my hands on finally arrived in the mail today (google it ;) its called Up The Duff by Kaz Cooke) and I am off for a date with said book in my nice warm bed with music on the TV in the background...bliss...
