Early this morning I rolled over in bed and crushed my sore knacker against the mattress, holy snappin duckshit that woke me up real quick. So I am now bombed out on oxycontin and endone plus panadeine. Pain is easing somewhat but I'm feeling that nice little trip coming on.
Anyway, my employer rang me yesterday asking how I was. I told them where I was at and that 2 - 3 weeks before I could really get back to work. They were quite okay with it. I find that amazing in this day and age where an employer actually cares about an employee. Anyway, I told them I had some reports I needed to take in for some shifts I had done and they told me that's fine, we'll sit and have a coffee, not bad ay.
Next month is gonna be a busy month with doctors. Urologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, and my gastro bloke. I am just concerned about my stoma, seems since I have been suffering these last 2 and a bit weeks that my coughing has prolapsed it about another 2 cm. So now it curves downward and sticks out about 3 cm so in total it's about 6 cm long. Well, let's see if we can get another opinion from a different surgeon. I don't think I can wait for my surgery any more than necessary.
Upside to all this, I'm slowly on the mend and even though in pain I do feel better in myself.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes and encouragement. We have a great bunch of folks here. Hugs to all, (manly hugs for the blokes,) luv yas.
