SITAR And T STands For LaTe


 With this way too exclusive coaster by Paul Moro from Freo I join Nicole´s SITAR and Gillena´s Smile:

 

The rest is not really art but I want to keep the darn memories of the past week and kinda join Elizabeth´s T. If very late!

... with this drink:


The journal:
 

Monday: Went to Ingo´s doc, he sent me to hospital with with that tummy. Said I have an app at the dentist the next morning, "OK".


Tuesday: Dentist had a look, polished the sharp tooth all is fine! But I crunch my teeth, hence I need braces for the night.  The smallest tool was still actually too big, what else.
Denstist assumed the OP can be done outpatient, haha.
Took a taxi to HEH, Nice driver, at HEH, everybody super-friendly, bed neighbor very chattery, loved to talk about her travels throughout Australia, Mexico and wow she had visited places! Surprise dinner: Instead of butter I got jam aw, well.

 

 
Wednesday: They punctuated my stomach.Some whopping 2.6 l came out the rest via meds. One carer passing my bed: "Oh, the Kaiserin!!" (female version of Emperor). Last time Someone called me like that was 23 years ago, the trainee at VW. He always stormed my office, "Meine Kaiserin!"
Thanks to Ingo I have WiFi on my Travel Pad!
"Drink more!!!" 



Thursday: CT-scan and gastroscopy. They are great here, explained it all and suddenly I woke and it was done!
"Drink less!!!" 

 

Friday: they wanted to puncture again, but it was not enough water, so Meds and infusions - that is "normal procedure".
The Department Physician came by to explain the procedure of Colon Cancer Screening I get on Monday, I said "Monday?  As my bed-neighbor? We have but one loo..." He went a bit pale, LOL, Hope he finds a solution.
Why Colon Cancer Screening? I am that age and since years FIL and Ingo go on my nerves with that. Now that I am here  anyways... it was easier to have it done!
Now I cannot see. Sooooo many meds! The nice nurse, Doreen, went to find an eye-doctor! He thinks it might be too little potassium and not to worry...Have I mentioned HEH is great?

And I was in the little park - with an ice-cream!

 

Later carers tried my venes here and there, oh, sorry, once more.... argh.
Another chief physician popped through, stopped cold, "I have the very kindle you´ve got, in that lovely color!, and gave me  a huge smile #how to win doctors over ;-)


Weekend:
Saturday: Just pills, no infusion, Carer comes in, grabs my leg, "all OK."
Belly: swollen :-( Urine still does not find it´s correct way.
Hot, hot shower and the doors stayed closed! Here is chaos.

Sunday: First set of laxatives, 1\2 l mixed with 1\2 l water, One toilet... we managed,

Munchy:

Again an adult-portion :-(
What a week. And no: No pain at all. They never understood!!!

This was a week I... More to come...

Happy Sunday for now!

ONGoodness. What a week you've had. So sorry to read about the blood and the procedure. You drew a great example of it.

Thanks also for sharing your drink with us for T this past week, too, dear Iris. I hope all turns out well.

That's quite the ordeal, Iris. It doesn't sound fun at all, but it does sound like you are in good hands and with caring and compassionate medical personnel who are doing their best to care well for you and keep you comfy as possible. I hope things go well for the rest of your time and that your test results help them treat what's going on.

They sure are testing everything, Iris. You should be all cured by the time that they finish.

Iris Flavia said...

I hope so, RedPat. So far, not so good...

Sending you lots of love and healing hugs, dear friend Iris. Your sketches are gorgeous!

River said...

I hope the cancer screening shows thta you don't have any cancer, but I worry about the "urine still does not find its correct way" Have they checked that part to see why?

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, dear friend Linda!

Iris Flavia said...

I´ve heard not a thing about cancer and hope that means I haven´t got any (quite a serve!!!), rest finds it way but the water stays :-(

Bertiebo said...

Could not reach your blog yesterday. Today monday I can. What a week you had. Hoping for good news, Iris

Charlotte (MotherOwl) said...

Being hospitalized just sucks, no matter how nice the place or the carers. I hope they find what's ailing you soon!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, sucks, especially the snoring at night and carers collecting empty bottles!!!
Next Monday I might learn more.
