This is why you shouldn't let the trainee nurse take your blood
I'm now back home and hoping to stay there this time
For anyone following along at home, I'm back in hospital but hopefully I can go home tomorrow. Once we've sorted out my blood pressure and magnesium levels.
Thanks for all the well wishes! I am now home and discovering how much I was relying on the mechanical bed and people bringing food and drink to me at regular intervals.
Interestingly not shown is the heart rate monitor that is two thin needles pocked through my wrist
I'm assuming that it is a hall effect thing.
Today's posts were brought to you by my lower than expected blood pressure (something I thought I took to achieve).
So anyway enjoy your life, the new ones and the old ones . By the way if you are headed of to university this year then try to make friends with medics,
That was who I was with when I collapsed. Shout out to the crew at the Newcastle South Airport Premier Inn who immediately spotted that I was ill not drunk and didn't deny us access and immediately allowed the rest of the gang to move my belongings down to it
This provided a chance for all my belongings to travel to the hospital

I assume John Swinny gets my bill, thou worst comes to the worst I have traval insurance.

Sadly one of the ones I have lived and joked with over the last 2 weeks )that's how long I have been out of the coma died last night. I was rushed back to the ICU at 5 am today (minor breathing issues) so I will miss the funeral, and primarily I have no clothes

Why hasn't Ian been liking or replying to my posts. Well I suffered a collapse on the 7th June
Fortunately the NHS workers worked miracles and managed to save my life and are now planning to repartate me to a Glasgow hospital to continue rehab.
I really can't say some of the ways NHS staff have worked to move me forward and backwards through the system a bit like the Snakes and Ladders. I'm thrown in with a chorht of wealthy foreigners
