Things that i have learnt today (aka why i should have just stayed in bed)

1.Its REALLY embaressing when the A&E receptionist knows your DOB, address, doctors surgery and half your phone number without having to ask.

2.My estimation of how bad my SI wounds are is vastly different to doctors/surgeons/you name it. This is apparantly a bit of a problem. For example, last week I was talking to out of hours and was upset-They persuaded me to go get my cut checked.I thought it would need 3 stitiches max, if that. It actually ended up with 18.ooops.

3.Collapsing in triage when the nurse starts poking you is not a smart move. Turns out you really arent supposed to bleed enough to restock a bloodbank-well, who knew! Combine this with 'you should be dead low blood pressure', and veins that refuse to give them any more blood to test and your kinda in trouble.

4.There is only so many times you can nick your bowel before your luck runs out.

5.General anaesthetic is GOD. I was very resentful of the nurse that insisted on waking me up after i had had my 'sew your insides back wear they belong' op-not only did she pull me out of a fantastic dream in which i was married to a 'not gay jon paul from hollyoaks' who spent a lot of time wearing scrubs (i have a thing for doctors!) she also ruined the best sleep i have had in nearly a year. It was so nice to just sink into oblivion. And then the funny inbetween stage you get when you are coming too, well all felt good in the world until they stuck the drip feed in.

6.Its a total bitch when they end up taking blood from your foot, cos they cant get to it anywhere else.

7.apparantly, docs arnt really down with the 'diet coke and diazepam' diet. funny that. I now have a cupboard full of ensure, whih i will never drink-mostly because its gross.

8.lawyers can be sods (though you know i dont mean you Jess <3 )

9.I probably should have stayed in hospital, because im not feeling the love right now.

all of the above are reasons why i should just stay in bed for the forseable future.Although in supposed to do that anyway.
