Hospital stay
As I told you last week, I was admitted to hospital, this was not in my
planning, and this was also a horrible time for me since I thought we have
beaten this disease since I haven’t been ill in almost a year. As I have
mentioned before I have an illness in my leg called osteitis. It involves my
leg being inflamed, and pain, etc. don’t need to go into the details.
So I phoned the doctor on the Monday and since he just got back from
leave he was busy that I could only get an appointment for Wednesday, but I was
in pain, so I decided to drop in late Monday afternoon to beg for a
prescription. Luckily I have a very kind (when he isn’t fighting) doctor and
got and OR time booked in less than 30 minutes for Wednesday (even before my
appointment time)
Wednesday afternoon we pitched at the hospital to be admitted. My best friend
and sister in tow. Needless to say we sat in admissions for 2 hours waiting for
a bed, since I had to be in a private room because of the infection. I was
getting nervous because the time arranged was 2 o’clock and we still did not
have a bed. At 13:50 I was admitted into the children’s ward. The doctor was
already waiting and since I was supposed to get x-rays and blood work done and
none of those things was done. Told you my doctor is nice, except when he is
fighting with everyone. So I was operated on and later the afternoon I was
moved to the orthopaedic ward (my second home)
I slept the whole day, only read when I could keep my eyes open, and of
course when friends came to visit. I think my doctor wanted to ensure that my
pain was managed and all the different concoctions made me very sleepy. I took some pictures with my phone when I was bored.

| Lovely snacks in the afternoon |
 |
| This machine is small but can make a lot of noise |
 |
| Atleast I got pretty flowers |
 |
| And a succulent, I love these little guys |

| Televisions in the ceiling. No need to sit and watch |

| This little guy is so much better than having to sit with an earpiece |
So yesterday I was released, unfortunately with a surgy-vac still
installed and since I am not one of those people who can hang around at home
doing nothing I came to work this morning J don’t worry the pipe and all its goodies is safely hidden in a bag. So no
co-workers will be grossed out, aren’t I considerate?
