Not such a good day today. I had a bad night - really odd
not being able to feel/move muscles in legs but having quite a lot of pain (
think very tight support stockings). Then not able to curl up to sleep but only
roll a bit on my side to relieve pressure on shoulders, although nursing staff
keeping eye on possible pressure sores.
I am also having some sharp pains in my boobs, but
that can be a random side effect. Having paracetamol but have been offered
other pain relief - problem is that most pain killers have an adverse effect on
constipation.
No physio as I was awaiting an enema ( which didn't
work - dread to think what happens next!). This meant that I've not been
hoisted out of bed onto chair ( which I enjoyed yesterday although I did keep
thinking that I was going to topple forward)
Dr has spoken to the neuro unit at Oxford and I will
be transferred on Sunday to begin next lot of treatment on Monday.
Slept (dozed) a bit this pm instead of the physio.
Lunch was fish and chips and mushy peas and apple (not eaten Apple yet).
Nursing aux went to lot of effort to wash my hair -
shampoo cap wasn't very effective. New method Shampooing was fine, but rinsing
is clearly a problem
I think that's it- listening to Any Questions.
Good night
Bev
