I'm Out

[Dizmo]

It's official, I'm out. I walked outside and got a lung full of smoke.... Nice...

Well I've done nothing towards preparing for Christmas.

Time to get home and get tidying up, while the pain meds are still working. I managed to get a dose of morphine before I left too.

I suppose I best say this while I'm relatively comfortable; Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all.

[ummmm]

Has the sickness stopped?

I hope you have a good one xx

Dizmo... been following your posts.. so sorry about whats happening to you... hope you feel better real soon.. Happy Christmas..and New year.. take care.. see you on the flip side .. Mrs C xx

[Dizmo]

I don't know. I managed to get my Cyclizine Intramuscular injection before I left too. I'm on my way to go and pick my repeats up from the pharmacy. I'm prescribed tramadol but wasn't given it in hospital. I don't know how well it's going to tackle the pain, given the fact morphine wasn't doing amazingly. Fingers crossed.

You too Ummmm.

Tramadol is a weak opiate, much less strong than morphine, but taken regularly induces sleepiness so you may get a decent kip.

Have a good Christmas, Diz, as best as you can....

[Dizmo]

Blackadder: my thoughts exactly :)

Mrs C: Thank you

[MargoTester]

I hope you have the best Christmas you can Dizmo, after the trauma of the last few days.

Hi Dizmo, I too have been following your recent posts. Glad you seem to be in better spirits (would that be the morphine ;-) )
Have a good crimbo mate.

Well done for getting out, I hope you can be pain free.

Have a very happy Christmas Diz, and a good and healthy new year.

[Mamyalynne]

Have the nicest Christmas you can and more importantly I hope 2015 is a happier and healthier one for you and all your family. x

[Psybbo]

Have a good, hopefully pain free Christmas and I hope 2015 will be kinder x

[murraymints]

Diz..hope you manage to enjoy Christmas...will be thinking of you xx

[Dizmo]

One other thing that I am glad to see on the outside of the hospital is my computer (hugs). It's so nice to be able to keep up with people now instead of having to thumb bash away at the phone screen keyboard.

[Peaspeculiars]

Merry Christmas Diz xx Hope you can bear the pain until they get you sorted out properly mate, and get some well deserved rest. All the best and wishing you a much happier new year, Peas xx

I've just dropped (about 1 hour ago) a right gooley. They have sent me 4 days worth of Oxycontin in order to gradually wean me off them. I read the packet wrong and took two tablets when it said take 1 table twice daily. I just wasn't thinking, combined with the fact I'd had the morphine and was a little fluffy headed at the time.

I've been given 25mg in the morning and 25mg at night. I've just took 40mg on top of what I had this morning. Let's just say I won't have any problems sleeping tonight - the match sticks are just about keeping my eyes open now.

[Dizmo]

Thanks Peas, and thanks to everyone else for supporting me, and continuing supporting me through what has felt, and still feels like hell. You've all got a place in my heart.

How did you get home?

[FrogNog]

That was a lovely thing to say Dizmo.
I don't usually get involved with these threads and I'm certainly not one of the people who deserves your respect, but the care shown on this thread is making me feel all seasonal. I'm glad you're out and I hope you have a happy Christmas.

[jourdain2]

I've followed your trials as well. Glad you are out, been a bad time. Look forward
and have a Happy Christmas yourself and a much, much better New year. Keep positive 'in there'..

[Dizmo]

FrogNog: That's why I kept everyone informed because I know how you all care. I also came on AB whilst in hospital because I was isolated in a room on my own and was only visited 3 times throughout the whole 2 weeks. Now I know that's 3 times more than some people get but I would sit and watch families turn up and visit their loved ones nearly every day if not twice a day some times. I needed somewhere to vent my anger, stress and emotions to, and you guys, and gals, were there for me. I can't say how much I appreciate you all - words just can't be used; well they can but you know what I mean.

Wolf I caught the bus. I wanted a little time on my own and I didn't want to put anyone out.

I started writing this about 30 minutes ago then my mums friend turned up and I got nattering to her. Her mother is on Domperidone so I've given her my supply of them (I did tell the hospital that I didn't want them because they don't work but they didn't listen!). Oh well it's helped my mums friend out :)
