Due to being unwell and in hospital with an Addison's Crisis I have not done any crating for awhile. I was in hospital for four days, and it was not pleasant at all. I was denied medication that literally keeps me alive. Without it I will die. One morning I didn't get it. I had begun to feel very weird and like I was about to pass out. (this is the first indication that I am going into a coma that I will not come out of.) I asked the nurse for the medication and was told that I had already had it. I knew I hadn't had it. I asked another nurse and she too said I had already had it 3 hours ago. I told her his was not true. By now I was feeling very unwell, and went to the reception area in the ward I was in, and told them I had not had the medication and that I need it asap as I was about to pass out. She too said I'd already had it 3 hours ago. I was trying to tell her I had NOT been given it when she interrupted me and said they don't have it on the ward and would have to get it from the pharmacy. I told her I needed it urgently because it literally keeps me alive. I was very dizzy by now and went back to my room to lay down. If i was going to pass out it was safer for me to bed on my bed, rather than hit the solid floor in reception. My room was next to reception so I went to lay down. Within a minute a nurse came running in with my medication, 3 1/2 hours late. Once I took the medication I knew I would be ok. The nurse told me she was out of breath because she had run to bring me the medication. My reply was, 'well better that you're out of breath than me literally dying!' It wasn't a pleasant experience at all, and I just wanted to get out of there and go home. The challenge is, the Doctors and nurses in general have not idea how crucial it is that I get my medication on time. Addisons Disease is very rare and can quickly turn fatal. I shouldn't have to beg for medication that literally keeps me alive. Luckily I was ok and was discharged the following day. I am still struggling badly with lack of energy/low Cortisol, which is from having Covid. Yes, I have the new release form Lavinia Stamps (The Faelight Chronicles) but I haven't even used them because I have no energy. I just want to sleep and block out the World at the moment. I often sleep during the day just to re-charge my batteries. If only it was that easy! The cats, Romeo and Wookie, think it's great, they both come and join me on the bed! Yesterday I had gone into my room to sleep. When I woke up an hour later, there was Romeo sleeping on my left hand side, and Wookie on my right hand side! And both cats were snoring!
There's been other stuff going on as well, and I just haven't done any crafting lately. I want to, but I just don't have the energy. Hopefully things will get better soon, fingers crossed! My Doctor said it's the after effects of having Covid, and how having Addison's has complicated things. 'Just have patience] he said, and 'rest when you need to.' It sounds oh-so-easy, but I am struggling with that! I am not one to sit and do nothing!
Ok, that's it for now, I need to go and rest/sleep. Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shone bright each and every day!
