Reached the edge, didn't fall in..


I'm getting stronger every day so thought I'd give this a try.

Last monday I was admitted to the CCU unit at Lewisham Hospital with Pnemonia. I'd got into my bed on friday and had just not been able to get out of it. This was following the stimulation of my Thymus gland and the mercury filled tooth extraction both on the Thursday. It had all seemed relatively easy on the day, I even got my hair cut which I have no memory of actually doing, then that night I came down heavily with a relentless cough that just went from bad to worse. I really know the true meaning of the phrase "coughed my guts up" now. By Monday I was in no fit state for anything and I called my sister Sarah for help, who called a doctor, who called an ambulance.

How could things get so bad?..do you know I think I'll have to explain that later, I'm just too tired today, but suffice it to say I was in a very vulnerable state and therefore very prone to infection.
So I've been fighting it hard since then and I've also had to have my wits about me in here because there are alot of unecessary invasive and potentially further damaging 'procedures' that the doctors will try to pressure you into in order to cover their own backs. My older sister Rebecca has been invaluable and so I believe has Courtney White? Thank you so much you two! I'm not exaggerating. For example one night I was told I was going down for "Chemotherapy"! It transpired that it was a case of mistaken identity, I haven't got Cancer, and if I hadn't categorically refused to move, literally clutching onto my blankets for dear life, who knows what would have happened. This wasn't just the once, there's a catalogue.

So now the sun is shining right on me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! it feels so good. Look at this! I'm going to have to go and soak up some vitamin D now. I will be more detailed in my account of this horrible nightmare soon. I have learned so much more and there are some major life decisions waiting outside for me not too far off, in the wings..Time to unstick myself and breathe in life!
