Well that really was a very bad night!
Yesterday afternoon after watching a movie with Candy, I went to sleep at 15:40, and I did not wake up until 21:24, I was shivering cold and I was late taking my meds and insulin, which I did do in the end. Candy covered me up with a blanket as I was freezing but I had a very high temp of 38.4 (my standard is always 36.6) I went back to sleep as I was feeling really crappy and did not wake up until 8am this morning.
I am still dizzy and my temp has reduced down to 37.4 and I still feel like shit. So I know I have an infection from my stump but there is no way I am going to hospital as it's pointless.
Last year when I went in, they refused to do a swab as it will be an internal operation procedure and they also refused to change my bandages! So I can always have an IV drip while I am at home and a booster antibiotics meds as well. At least I am not being sick as I am not eating either.
So fingers crossed, I will get better soon.
Well that was a shit show of a District Nurses session. 30 min max for both of my stumps.
I explained how ill I've been this weekend and they were not bothered, there reply was phone up 111 instead of them, which is bullshit, as I've phoned them before and they told me to 999 as I was not an emergency, and than 999 told me to ring up 111 as I was not an emergency for them either! It takes the piss living up here in North Yorkshire.
I told the nurses about my high temp, they did not care. I told them that my left stump smells but they could not smell anything! I said try living with this 24/7...Shrugged shoulders were the reply.
I asked them to come three times a week, they won't as they don't see any problem with it, despite my bandages being soaked! I said to them that they need to listen to me as the patient and work with my needs...Shrugged shoulders again.
After they did their job, they left a puddle of water on the floor and I asked them to grab a kitchen roll tissue and clean up after themselves, "Can't Candy do it?" I said NO, you made the mess, you clean up after yourselves! They got arsy and moaned but they did it anyway!
CHRIST ON A FUCKING STICK! HUMANS!
This is why I hate a lot of people! It is like talking to a brick wall at times with these people.
So no extra help during the week, I will have to wait until tomorrow to try and get antibiotics as the GP surgery is closed today (I did not know it was a bank holiday), I might have to ask Candy to help out again if I leak tomorrow. 🙁
