I have so much to tell you. Oooh pretties! Seriously folks, never joke about seeing pretties or distracted by the shiny after having a stroke. Doctors don’t like it.

by admin

in a mind is a terrible thing to waste

See the category I used for this post?  Shit, I crack my own shit up.

Like how I finally got moved from the Emergency Department to the wards after 4 days and my room mate went home and left me a little present in the toilet to remember her by.

And now I have to pay 8 bucks a day for tv, when in the ER it was fucking free.

And how the food ain’t got no better but the portions seem to be getting smaller so either the doc has told them to slim my stroking arse down or they just got sick of me wasting all that food.

Like how I am on blood pressure tablets and blood thinners but my blood pressure is low and apparently something about my blood clotting slower than it should.  Someone wanna esplain that to me?

Like how now I am up to 21 vials of blood drawn, 3 ultrasounds, a CT Scan and a failed MRI

Like how I hate that fucking MRI and I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK but I have to cause I am a sooky fucking panic ridden idiot and if I had just grown some fucking balls and sucked it up and been a man and just gritted my teeth and bared it I would be home right now slugging back Pina Coladas.

Like how I cannot get this song out of my head.

cause I am a sick bitch and when Moo was complaining about being tired or something (I wasn’t listening cause I don’t have to cause I am POORLY) I turned to her and said ‘I had a stroke.  I win’

Like how I need to finish up, pack up my laptop and go home for my birthday party (albeit very late, for those arsehats that didn’t mark the birth of the awesome one in your calendars, it was Thursday) and a nice long shower in my own shower with my own towels that have not been used at some stage to wipe up someones excrement.  Well someone not related to me anyway.

and hope like fuck that no one is sitting in that bed next to me when I get back.  Mumma needs her beauty sleep.

I think you can use “I had a stroke. I win.” for a long, long time. At least until this coming weekend. After that, you’re going to have to come up with something new. Leprosy maybe?

MRI are no fun whatsoever, but they should be able to give you something to make you all relaxed and sleepy whilst you are in the tube.

Hope that you have a relaxing time at home and that you get the room all to yourself when you go back to the hospital.

If it helps, Itai just had an MRI and once it was over he said that the worst part by far was the needle in his arm. FYI, he also pretended to be an astronaut, and that the noises he heard were his lasers blasting asteroids. Might help you ;-) .

Ya knoooooow… you can practice for that MRI. Just crawl under your bed and stretch out. Lie on your back and drag your suitcases up to each side of you. Now you need to get them standing upright, so that you are sufficiently encased and pull them up close to you… Riiiight, now try to breathe. Are you able to breathe? Well, if you are, your not doing it right. ;-)

WRT MRI — I had one a few years back — utterly bemused that they offer you a radio station to listen to and then turn on the industrial-deafness-inspiring DOCK DOCK DOCK noises. Radiologist rather apologetic :>

Woman, alright already!
Stop with the tequila slammers and they’ll probably let you go home!
MRI trick – close your eyes the entire time you’re in there and do not peek at all. Tell ‘em to whack on some funky Clarence Carter (Strokin’ 1 & 2), Right Said Fred (I’m too sexy) and Strut by Sheena Easton and then lay back and think of Tasmania.

But I really hope you are better soon, and being fed gourmet food and using faeces-free towels very soon. Oh – and maybe someone should buy you an awesome pair of shoes?
