Steve not very well at all today, Doctor has just been out to him

[onlyjoking9329]

he was in a lot of pain yesterday which has not improved today. he is much more confused so it is difficult to find out what is going on. his sight is much worse too and he is quite wobbly.
The doctor phoned the hospital and talked to them about it. the doc has given him a morphine injection and he is to go back on the steriods, which he has just been weaned off. the doctor will phone in the morning to see how he is. he is tucked up in bed now.

Hope Steve been brighter today and you get some more news tom when you ring the hospital, i can't believe that you have to keep pushing them it makes me so
Glad to see you going to get the mm nurses in. I am sure when Steve sees what they can do to help he may be more open to them being around.

How is steve today? Did you polish off anymore wine? Hope your ok.

Steve has had another bad day, he is now in bed, he gets so stubborn he has refused to take his pain killers even thou he is in pain. he says he doesn't like to take them. his brother & sister have been over to see him this afternoon i am hoping that they have talked him out taking his pain killers.
Lisa i must apologize for last night as i was well drunk so probably talking crap on MSN

its fine hun, understood completely what you were typing so you can type when your drunk
Im the same with pain meds, i hate taking them, hope his feeling ok though.
Hugs

my typing improves with a drink
i have finally talked him into taking his painkillers just now so hopefully he will sleep better tonight and be better in the morning.

hi oj hows steve been now he had his meds? hope he been able to sleep

any luck with the mac conversation? ((((((((((oj))))))))))

a good night only up twice.
he is no better today, he thinks it is down to the MS i am not sure, he has two different consultants at two different hospitals one for tumour and one for the MS.
i think he needs his steriods increasing again. so i will phone to chase up his scan then phone to see about the steriods.
whats the betting i will be phoning/waiting all day.

Good luck with the telephoning OJ. You are doing so well at holding it all together.
Here's some poncey handground coffee for whilst you are on hold

i am getting mildly annoyed at being on hold and having to listen to crap music

Dammed muzak is designed for maximum grrr factor. Or jolly ersatz mozart

BTW I am loving our new toy sad

after much playing of pass the phone, they have said he should get a date throu this week but the scan may not be until next week.
spoke to the lovely receptionist who has given me her direct number and will get the mac nurse to ring me.

Result ! I know you are anxious about further delay so the fact you have secretary's number now is a help.

BUT why, oh why should you always be pushing? I know the NHS does a reasonable job with scant resources but for you

right i have spoken to one of the nurses who says we can only have a mac nurse if the doctor refers us.
off to bang head on whats
left of my brick wall
phone our GP, as fuck who knows when we will see oncologist.

D'oh. You knew they were going to say that eh ?

Plod on m'dear.

Keep venting, we're here.

i think i will make a habit of putting on a saftey helmet before making any phone calls.

Now you've made me laugh and spray coffee.

And here's summat else.... I am a CM, no mindees today, so zoom through chores (cleaning/empty dishwasher/hang out washing etc)then phone rings, so I whizz through house, chat to my Ma, uh-oh, forgot to take shoes off ... so

gotta get effing hoover out again (grass cuttings littering everywhere)

fuck it

when i stop laughing, be worried.

steve is having a snooze so i am off to help with kids school swimming.
i have started a new thread in health with some good news.

glad you were able to make some phone calls but a shame that you even have to.
i hope steve is feeling better, off to find your new thread.

i feel like banging my head on the brick wall but sadly not much left of brick wall.

hi oj hows you all today sweetheart? ((((((((((oj and her famil;y)))))))))))))))

i couldn't find your new thread sorry

here

I can only add my virtual support along with everyone else.

I have no experience of anything like this and just can't imagine what you are going through.

Wishing you strength and sending a hug.

thanks gibberish x

you will be able to talk to someone in rl who knows whats happening both sides of the coin so to speak. good luck sweetheart, fingers crossed as always (well, metaphorically anyway, i don't think i would be able to type on mn otherwise!!!)

well i am sure the Mac nurses will know what they are doing, i guess it has taken me a while to admit we need one and steve took longer, but we got there in the end!
MB has found them to be brilliant so it must be true.
