Finally home
I think I must be feeling better- I am thinking about food again!
Just home after 3 nights in hospital. First two days were horrible. Constant pain, prodding and felt like blah. Felt a little better yesterday and feel really quite good today.
Things to remember when in hospital though:
- Pack all chargers. Fortunately I had mine with me. Don’t know where I would have been without my phone charger.
- Get friendly with the nursing staff, especially nursing students! They keep you in on the gossip. They still couldn’t give me the passwords to the wireless networks in the hospital though
- Don’t say no to pain relief! Worked out I didn’t need to be a hero wrt pain! Doh!
- Make sure you own plenty of pyjamas! My 2 pairs of pink ones really got a workout!
Oh and finally, get friendly with the nursing students, but don’t let them talk to your doctor! One of them told him my bed was empty yesterday when I was in the shower, which he took to mean I had gone home. I mean really! It wasn’t until I pulled another cannula out this morning that one of the nurses rang him to ask if I still needed it.
Supposedly back to work on Tuesday, but I am thinking of taking a few more days off to do some thesis work. Will ask my doc on Monday when we chat what sort of medical certificate he is willing to give me!
But it’s good to be home! I’m twittering again and on my IM channels! Talk to you all soon, I hope 
(And, yes that does mean I am talking again!)
