i thought it was a bit of a pulled muscle when it started to ache, and when i started vomiting, i just thought my cooking was to blame!!!!!!!!
hubby stayed off work on the monday, at the time i was annoyed because i felt ill and i just wanted him to leave me in peace- good job he doesnt always listen to me as i collapsed on the living room floor later that day and he had to call an ambulance!
feeling better now thankfully, hes been a good nurse, i begged them to let me home from hospital early as the noise from the pumps bleeping and patients etc was driving me nuts, it was like being trapped at work and not getting paid!!!!

typical nurse, I had one of the nurses I work with trying to convince me to discharge her with appendicities because she felt guilty at taking up a hospital bed.

Hope you are feeling better take care of yourself and don't rush back to work

We do make the worse nurses. Guess I was lucky on the couple of times I was admitted I was given a cubicle of my own and able to stay there until discharge although would have moved it needed but staff insisted they would manage as we don't get any perks in the job and if they couldn't help a fellow nurse then they was in the wrong job

I guess you mean the worse patients though

[english_nurse]

im sure she does bless


im having my clips out of my wound today- i cant say im very amused by the thought of that

[Silverdragon102]

lol, been having a few blank moments this week, hope it isn't catching

EN good luck on having the clips out, mine stung a little but not too bad

[english_nurse]

it were horrible, especially as i have a wound infection now which makes me feel horrible too due to darn antibiotics, 3rd lot now.
the surgeon said i was high risk for wound infection due to the appendix bursting, so it looks like ive got a fair way to go yet, i can honestly say ive never felt so sorry for myself....

[lawrence01]

appendix news... the wound has finally healed 5 weeks later!!! just a tiny pin head size hole now at the one end
my abdo muscles are really weak though and i still get pain, so when i go back to work i dont know, i expect it will be all those occy health referrals etc now....
