A Yummy Good-Bye

This is for Tom´s Signs2.

T STands For Fleeing HospiTal

 
With this mezzo mix I join Elizabeth´s T.
The journal:
 

Monday: second set of laxatives, then total chaos, blood pressure, cleaning lady I, blood taking - again tried my already blue left side, cleaning lady II, I am due 12:00, 09:15 get ready! No!!! ...my room partner, then. She : no!!! What chaos. 
In case you are afraid of colorectal cancer screening - it´s easy-peasy!!! NO.Worries.At.All!
No outcome, either, yippeee! 
Take my pills or not was another long story and then ... the very young carer had a nice weekend.
One fat, black star on the side of her nostrils and one on her forhead. In.the.face.
My Russian roommate said, like a pimpel-patch.
Very late lunch, pasta with mushroom, sooooo yummy! Bood pressure 90 - 70 
New roommate, doc: "How are You?" - old lady:"bad, othwewise I wouldn´t be here..." 



Tuesday: My Russian roommate had a cup of coffee and got all chatty. Born in Siberia she got dragged to Germany at age 17 to marry a Russian-German and now has 5 kids! She´s only 47!, very nice but sticks to the formal "Sie".
And wee...  she had to walk to school in -60C / -76F - but she said it´s a different, dry cold.
I have again bad sight and no help around.
The kindle-doc swept by, "you look much better already!"
Very spontanous: MRI, Head, mask like an astronaut, noise mostly like a beak crippled woodpecker...Luckily no outcome.



Wednesday Wonderful rain.Young carer has to insert some medication anal to our elderly, "...or would it be better, if I´m a woman?" Hihi, cute.
Went down to the little garden with our elderly, she´s really a  fun person!
She has a gallery, maybe I get fK, who called today, to visit her.
New bed in front our room. Our elderly shortly before leaving told the nurse, please not another patient today, she herself was so "wild", I need a break - to underlie that she jumped around, LOL. No one came into "our" room,
Wonderful rain again.
 

Thursday: Be dressed by 8:00. Was supposed to get brekkie, they forgot. Instead again blood samples, the poor nurse can hardly find any spot no more, two tries. 9:30 still waiting, still hungry, meds on empty stomach. from 53.6 kg to 51.2 kg.


Friday: Weight: 41,9kg. ?!? WHAT?! Uhhh, 51,9. Thank you, I´m awake now! Blood, of course, meds...
Then a HUGE fight cause bedneighbor and I wanna go home over the weekend at last! 
We announced this long before lunch. Noooo... we got lunch and had to fight some more!
Said, I need to see my dentist!!!
04:30 p.m finally dismissed - no dentist, thank you :-( 
They get the money for another full day for letting us wait. 
"on your own risk! Death might happen!!!!"
NOISY lady as newcomer. "I have no money for WiFi..." - OK, I bought 5 days for her. The thank you: Dumbest movies on smartphone AT.FULL.BLAST. 
"You´re back on Monday!!!" - "I call for the results and then SEE if I need to come back!!!"
 
Really, the first week: Great nurses and docs.
Second week: Awful chaos.
 
 

Weekend: Saturday: Laundry and Ingo presented me with beautiful flowers.
 

Ingo says he wants a proper vase, so I´ll have a look around. But TEA-Rex´s tea days are over for now, I am not supposed to drink too much (he can hold 700ml...). 
Sunday: Löwenzahn, die Maus, fairy tale and sorting meds... and then... The Green Mile. I sure had tears... 
 
Munchy:

 
Yes. This s hospital food (OK, it was the highlight....).

 Hopefully not again...

No Nothing


 
So I called the hospital. "Due to sickness we cannot take your phone call - write us an e-mail."
No response. Tummy hurts, full of liquid again and I´m afraid.
 
I am to get my as# out and go to work.
 
I don´t know what hurts more.
I "have" the job just when??? 
 
Economy is down  - EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! 
I am desperate. 
 
Sorry, this needed to get out. 
All my drinks in my little corner here, too.
II feel lonely and forgotten. 
 
What would I give to be healthy and start my job 06:00 a.m....  
Dentist only tomorrow, why not my tongue falls off soon. 
 
Darn life.  Sorry, I feel bad and this must get out, too...
Comments are off, this just needed to get out of my screaming heart.
 

 

A Wee One Only

 

Just a small one right around the corner, sadly no artist and tagged already, too.
Soon the real trees will be colorful, then naked for a looooong time.

 The cold, dark half of the year  is here...

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...

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.
