FFO - Kinda

 
 
With these happy faces I join Nicole´s...
 

 It was a fight today. My roomie wanted to leave for the weekend, too, but wasn´t too sure yet.
 
I...  was sure! Before lunch-time I said I wanna leave the hospital - yes, at my own risk,  worst case: Death. 
But what would they do anyways? Take and record blood pressure, in-ear temp, weight. Which was taken only last three days on a chair.
From 53,6kg I dropped to 51.4 and then to 41.2- WHAT????? Oh, 51,2.
Oh, and do not forget: blood!!! Loads of blood, sometimes twice a day, 3 big cannulas each time. Bruises all over, I look like a junkie. Outcome: Nothing special.
 
There is one blood-probe that they had to send to another clinic, the result is due Monday.
"You´ll be here then on Monday again!".
"I call and if there is need I´ll be here."  Hello?!!!
 
The phone number I got from my roomie. Just saying.
 
That´s it from me today, I´m knackered. 
 
What a day. 
 
For this lay around all weekend?!
Roomie was still evaluating, when patient #3 rolled in. A massive, massive woman, loud, too.
If there is WiFi. Yes, I said, 5 days, €5. She had no money. - She claimed. 
OK, so I offered and payed. Dumb me.
The dumbest shows on her Smartphone at full blast. Who says there is good Karma? 
 
BEFORE lunchtime I announced my plan and added I need to see my dentist.
04:30  p.m. I had everything, why, thank you! And only after asking back, asking back, asking back!!!
 
Dentist: Monday hence.  And my tongue kills me (ripped it open at my sharp tooth).
 
Mostly nice FACES at the hospital, apart from THAT.One.Lady who has the.power.

Iris, did they find out what was going on with your stomach? You were there for a long time. I do hope all is well. You have to pay for wifi in the hospital? I'm glad you are home. Thank you for sharing the happy faces with FFO and just rest and take care. Hugs N

I thought that sharp tooth got fixed last time you saw the dentist!
"Worst scenario death"????
Have they said what is wrong or what might be wrong?

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, since Tuesday last week! Lying around...

Iris Flavia said...

Nicole, not really for sure what is wrong. Different diet for sure....
Haha, yes, we still pay for WiFi!!! This is Germany... Hugs from the Middle Ages!

Iris Flavia said...

No final answer, no, it´s a pest!

Iris Flavia said...

So yes, if maybe just for now...

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear firnd Linda, much love and hugs on the way.

Yupp the sharp tooth got fixed, but it had ripped my tongue open - the mouthguard that should´ve helped and was available since this Tuesday sits quietly at my dentist!
Yupp, death. They hate when you say; I leave! They could´ve made a lot of money just having me there, taking blood pressure and blood and doing nothing otherwise. So they try to make you afraid...
They still evaluate...

i am so happy to read that you are home for the weekend, Iris. I was hoping that you would be.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

It's amazing they would let you leave on your own. Sorry to read you gave so much blood. Happy FFO.

CJ Kennedy said...

Sesamstrasse friends celebrating you are home from the hospital. I love it. Hope you are feeling better.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, RedPat, I hope I can stay here and just go to a doc or just outpatient!

Iris Flavia said...

On the weekend they do nothing but taking blood...

Iris Flavia said...

Hihi, yes!
