A few eventful days. On Saturday morning Ali decided that she'd had enough and it was time to go to hospital. I drove her in and she walked into the Emergency area. Luckily she was triaged quickly, taken to a bed and hooked up on a drip within the hour.
One of the nurses arrived to take all her details, and heard about how Ali couldn't eat or drink and how much pain she was in every time she tried to swallow something. After the nurse had finished taking her notes she turned to Ali and asked if she would like the nurse to arrange a sandwich and some juice for her lunch as she was likely to be there a while! Without repeating verbatim what Alison said, it suffices to say she was not impressed.
Throughout the day Ali received fluids via IV and they started to improve the way she felt.
After waiting until around 9:30 pm Ali was then moved to the renal ward with a prescription for some morphine to help her with the pain. Problem was that she was prescribed oral morphine while at the same time was 'nil by mouth'. Eventually this was all sorted and And she managed to get some sleep.
Sunday was spent pretty much lying in bed resting and trying to recover.
By Monday Ali was hoping that she would have been booked in for a gastroscopy to take a good look at what was wrong with her and work out what to do. But alas, nobody books diagnostic tests during a weekend so she had to wait until today before she joined the queue.
It now looks like she may get the tests done either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Latest thinking is that her problems are related to her earlier treatment and most likely that she had ulcers in her oesophageous. No idea yet on when she will be allowed out.
