    I hope Grumpy is ok Sardi.

    Miserable day, it would be a perfect evening to snuggle up to a warm body in bed.

    Who's making my dinner this evening? :p

    Definitely not me, this time!

    Grumpy is ok ATM. Very tired and still a bit out if it. He had a small amount of anti psychotic before we loaded him into the ambulance, two doses of morphine in a and e followed by some benzodiazepines of some sort. A fairly potent connection which left him, to use professional jargon, completely off his t1ts all day. At one point he told me that he felt like he was far away. I was half expecting him to ask me if his face was melting. He's coming round gradually. Most importantly, he's comfortable and pain free.

    Unfortunately he was in so much pain it was the only way they could try and get the hernia back in. The benzo relaxes the muscles on top of that making it easier and without the anti-psychotic he'd be so agitated and confused he would be untreatable. Happy to say that he's come back from the moon, now. I know this because he's got his moan back on, so it's 'as you were, Sardonicat'.

    Be as good as a mini break, wouldn't it?

    More like a trip!

    Still, it would temporarily relieve the monotony.

    I'm experienced in all of those and in combination, it'd be 24 hours off *sighs wistfully* :P

    I can do the warm body. In fact, I wish I could donate my spare body heat.

    Off to hospital about 8.30 tomorrow, swelling gone down somewhat on the leg, so x-rays and they'll make a decision on whether or not I need an op..

    Jaysis, possibly an operation? :eek:

    Oh, good luck with that! That's an early call for that place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 486 ✭✭Shaka Hislop


    Yeah..it was 9am but they rang and asked me come in half an hour earlier.
    It's about the ligaments and if they are coming away, will find out tomorrow...could do without it tbh..

    I'm committed to not cooking ever, but unfortunately food doesn't magically appear in front of me.

    Finally! I can go to sleep at last. I'm hanging here. Trouble us, I think I'll be too worried to switch off. He easnt in the bed 10 mins before he called me in to tell me his hernia was hurting. Thankfully, it was an easy fix tonight. Don't think I could cope with two nights like that in a row. I'm off to my pit, hopefully an uneventful night. Keep everything crossed for us, Wherers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,730 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Night Sardi, hopefully tomorrow will be a calmer day.

    How's the back now Grem?

    In my corner of the geriatric ward I have a stiff neck, cold feet, I'm tired and today was a day that really shouldn't have happened. I'm just glad I don't have to take my teeth out to clean them.
