Home from hospital last night, now feeling horrendous. Never thought I’d say it but this is far worse than chemo. Mentally much harder. I’m an absolute wreck. Don’t know how I’m going to get through the next 6 weeks

No morphine for 24 hours! Shuffling round the bed lots and I’ve been able to get to the end of the bed to dangle my legs over which is vital in getting me to do transfers.

Been moved to a shared ward this morning, 3 older Brummie women, I’m already part of the gang!

Some poor bugger is absolutely shouting their head off on the ward, either too much morphine or not enough, sounds like someone giving birth.

Consultant just came, he said potentially could be in a few week, but the nurse said they are always conservative He said it’s a very severe break on the right, multiple breaks, very unusual to see in this kind of fall. He thought it was a fall down stairs or car accident.

Update: Turned out I’d broken both of my legs! I was in surgery for 8 hours yesterday. Right leg: Broken the top of tibia in both sides. in the bit t that comes up in a y shape. One half of the Y is a segmental break, the other half a clean break. Red lines are vaguely where breaks are:

Anyway who got the most Valentine’s cards? I got zero sadly. But I did get a lovely hand squeeze from the fit paramedic last night so swings & roundabouts really 🤷🏻‍♀️

Consultant just been to see me; I’ve got a smaller fracture to my left leg too! I’d write a book about my life but people would think it’s too far fetched!

Last night at the new house I walked into the kitchen and promptly slipped on errant liquid. Landed full force in my knee. Never had pain like it so I knew I’d broken something After a terrible night in A&E I was admitted this morning. Awaiting an operation to repair my tibia with screws & plates.

I swear to god you could not write my life. Sitting in the back of an ambulance, off my tits on morphine, waiting to be seen after I slipped on my new kitchen floor. Suspected dislocated knee cap or might be broken.

All in new house! Surrounded by bags and boxes, and a quick last trip to my GP this morning confirmed Shingles 🙄 apparently not uncommon after radiotherapy.

Ooh I’ve had a last minute invite to an afternoon/evening rave! Not my usual thing but hopefully can have a drink and a dance and celebrate my recent wins in life. (Real celebration on the 15th March though)
