Another hard night with 2 bleeds to contend with. The nurses told me not to eat or drink anything until the doctor arrived which made me think I was having surgery. I am under a team of specialists so they consult each other but I have 4 different doctors, being in the public system. Different doctor today but he agreed with what had been done so far although he believes I will just go home.
All my pain medication has been cut except for Paracetamol & Ibuprofen. The doctor said I shouldn't need it any more. That's probably true. Now I feel like I've been hit in the face with a football rather than a sledge hammer. I was getting used to tripping on OxyContin and sleeping all day on Endone.
I found out that my red cell count is down a little. This is causing me to be a little unsteady on my feet and exhausted after the smallest task like showering and getting dressed, so I am still confined to bed and also cold food & drink and cool showers but I can go home.
