Day 2 in Hospital

By Rubytuesday
Yesterday was a bit of a nightmareThe couldn't get any of my medsThe only one they could get was the mirtazapineThey had to order the reatAnd because it was a bank holidayThe pharmacy was closed And I couldn't get my methadone Luckily I had tablets at home So my Dad brought them inNo methadone thoughMy Dad came in to visit at 2pmSo I took my meds then I started to get sleep at around 3pmSo Dad left And I had an epic sleep until 8pmI'm not fasting anymore So I can have a light dietOf tea and toastOr soup and breadI'm actually sick of tea and toast by this stage
I've been getting pain killers IV since yesterday morning But they won't give me any opiates because I'm on methadone So the weak tablets I am on are not really touching the painLast nightMy cannula started to get sore And I looked at my arm It had swollen by about 50%At first I thought I was seeing things But comparing it to my other armIt really had balloonedThe nurse immediately took the needle out And a doctor out one in my other armThis morning my arm is still swollenNow I know what I would look like if a gained 50 poundsVery strange 
Took me a while to get to sleep last night And the lovely nurses made me two cups of teaThe other women in my wars are elderlyAnd they are some charactersConstantly laughing and joking One woman is 90 years oldAnd she is the life and soul of the wardMost of the time I am in too much pain to join inBut I like listening to them
I woke before 7am this morning And the ward has been a hive of activity since then At the moment I am lying down listening to the radioAnd waiting to see the doctorI still in pain And can't get comfortable Not matter what way I lie
AnywayBelow is a photo of my swollen arm And some pics of the horse show Enjoy...
