Home - Saturday 6th October 2012.
Still not feeling too good seem to be having a bad reaction to the Anaesthetic. Everytime I move I just want to be sick.
Well for 3 days in not much has been happenening other than me consentrating on getting my leg as straight as possible by pushing it into the bed and trying to get the pit (back) of my knee to touch the bed by supporting my foot with a rolled up blanket. Also trying to do heel slides but I am in too much pain and feel far too nauseous to do anything. :(
Its later in the afternoon now and I am on my way to my local A&E Department as I have just had my first carrier bag shower and I feel so ill, dizzy and like I want to faint. I also keep vomitting everytime I try to eat or drink. Best to get checked out.
Returned from A&E Department
So glad I went along there, it appears that I was suffering from something known as Ileus (Bowel Paralysis) basically that my Digestive System is still not woke up from Anaesthetic. I was placed on a drip to rehydrate me and given some antisickness medicine via IV and had an X-Ray taken of my stomach.
I have been discharged with some Lactulose Liquid to take over night and was told to drink plenty of fluids that I could also some anti sickness medication.
Just want to curl up and die right now guys......
A cocktail of Morphine, Codiene and Paracetamol and plenty of rest.
