It is wonderful to read the positive experiences from members.
I guess as to the expectations as to noise I am as usual the only one out of step ... However learning the way things are usually has me accepting the current paradigm rather than seeking to change the world to suit me....so using the wisdom to change what you can or manage what you cant I take my tablet and tune into a YouTube video of rain on an iron roof and with my head phones listen to rain and imagine I am five years old at my grandparents farm.
I get so annoyed at folk who think the medical profession is some sort of scam and ignore the magnificent system we have...I really dont know how many different people have helped me...each day different teams would drop by telling me they were looking after this or that...and the nurses were just real gems...maybe one not so hot but she got off side for no reason so I guess she was having a bad day...
So since April first...for me... thiroid removal which looked to far gone to operate, a couple of weeks in ICU, then a trip home but back with a ruptured gall bladder more ICU ( I think) home again but back with renal failure...and when at home the district nurse calls at home to change dressings ... Not bad.
And before I leave a social worker calls to see me.."are you alone? Can we help with shopping or house work"... I am lucky but if I was alone how would I survive?
And on top of all that I did fit in my two covid shots so as to save myself and hopefully others...I mentioned that on face book and recieved a special thank you from whoever is behind the official Government web site...thanked me...
But my daughter ( oldest) is a fool..anti vax...you cant talk about covid as if it does not exist and out of anything her stand has brought me down...like I tried to tell her I had my shot...no no no..just no speaky..immature stupid ignorant superstitious dark age remnant...I cant bear it.
Anyways so happy to read the positive feed back and thanks to all for taking time to contribute.
I am off the cancer pills for a while which is probably the main reason I feel good but it is wonderful ...when I went in I was wheelchair mobil if someone pushed..could bearly move..now walking around and feel like I could manage some imaging..I will wait but last week not a thought of doing a thing.
The real scarey thing was I got to a stage where I was really ready to leave...I no longer had the will to live...but I learn from every experience...this is what death comes armed with to soften you up...so next time I will be ready ..I already have a mechanism ready to make sure I wont give in....
Thanks to all the medical profession and a curse on the alternative medicine groups...go back to the dark ages and be gone from my universe.
