Fed Up and Worried
Just going to have a vent here....so just ignore it okay.
Really over my crummy tummy ....went to dinner last night, the weather is VILE and enjoyed a sausage, mashed potato and Brussel sprouts. Enjoyed almost a glass of white wine, a long space , then some superbly fluffly pav with cream, finished with half a liquer glass of limoncello. I have been sick since then, and I could NOT eat all of the stated dinner. I am scheduled for removal of the lap band next Monday, I hope that it is straight forward and I will be able to eat without being crook.
Went to my local library where I belong to a knitting and crochet group. A new lady brought along a friend who collapsed. Her friend does not know a lot about her and we were able to pop her onto the floor in a recovery position.....no carotid pulse felt so into CPR which after one compression did the trick, probably had a pulse but very weak with low blood pressure. Hope she is okay, the ambulance arrived as she was coming around. I hiope she was okay! It is really weird, I have not been nursing for a number of years and have deregistered, however, I guess old habits really do die hard, I just did it with very little thought. I did work in cardiothoracic for years! I remember I was in hospital once for a stupid excessive chemical ingestion because of workplace bullying, and in the middle of the night a code blue was declared, I was out in my pjs in the hall before I realised, not my hospital, not my shift, but a patient...I was really embarassed....
