I'm on week number 4 in this room now with no real sign of being let out soon. Every day the doctors say the same thing, they are waiting for my immune system to start to recover before they can let me out for a few days. As to how long that takes they say "how long is a piece of string" Nice!
Had a bit of an eventful night last night in that I took a reaction to a new antibiotic they were giving me. Literally within 5 minutes I had swelled up and I needed an oxygen mask. Once I calmed down I got the shakes, I've had that a few times here where my whole body just starts to shake so the nurses gave me a type of opiate and after that I was as high as a kite!
Other than that I dont have much going on here. Home seems to be mad- they are painting and cleaning my room for when I'm home. Clare seems to be project manager for the whole family! I cant wait to see the finished product!
I was talking to my nurse about Clare because I was saying how hard we were all finding things with my mom's cancer in that we were constantly worried about her getting an infection etc. and now for me to have this- I think if it was the other way around and Clare was sick I would be having a nervous breakdown, I really do. I really struggled since Christmas with everything I can't imagine how they are all coping at home, particularly Clare. AND she has a wedding to organise too. Oh lordy!
I get some bits of post in here- mainly from Lisa who sends me in DVD's- thanks Liser! I am still getting Abbey News Weekly too which I still love!
Anyway Home and Away is on- I better dash- it's the highlight of my day :)
Lots of love
Mairéad
God that liser one sounds like such a deadly person, not as cool as clare lynch(c) but cool in a kooky way:)as for life in the ward, it sounds much more exciting than home & away these days,what are they doing reintroducing that family? unusually long intro for H&A and that penn fella? what's his story? more exciting updates to come Lynchmob,stay tuned,xx
ReplyDeleteHi Mairead, Clare's friend Clare here. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Clare is a real trooper, and I bet your room at home will look fab for u, she is a good team leader! I watch home and away too for my sins! Think I've been watching it since I was about 7! (Sad I know!!) I think some thing strange will happen with Penn, he is an odd one to work out. I have a few more magazines for ya, I'll give them to C, u can catch up with the exciting gossip from the celeb world! Did you see pics of Brian O' Driscoll and Amy Huberman's wedding, she was a stunning bride.Take Care. C x
ReplyDeleteHi Mairead,
ReplyDeleteYou are in the thoughts and prayers of the staff and students of the Business Dept in iadt at this time. If Boredom city is really getting to you I can try to get you access to Bb... Not BB but Bb, or maybe it was WebCT to you. Do you remember? Keep on smiling and keep on blogging...Best wishes, Denis Cullinane
Hi Denis,
ReplyDeleteAh WebCt! I hope you're impressed that I'm blogging- never thought it was useful until now!Thanks for your message,
M
Hi Clare, Clare's Friend. I know I am dying to know what is going on with Penn especially as that Sid guy is back!
