The last week has seen me laid low, intense pain in my ribs and round the back at armpit level. Finally after one day and night of it overtaking anything I had before, rang the trusty ambulance crew. They were in total agreement, off to hospital, after putting in an IV line, and dosing me up with Fentanyl and anti nausea meds. Blood pressure was too high, but not because of any heart trouble.
Admitted overnight after a chest X-Ray, more pain relief that only just reduced it a little, Monday morning, thought I would be on my way home, then an unexpected sentence, " You are off for a CT scan", thought it would just be for my kidneys, but when the DR came back, said he was very relieved to tell me the Aorta was fine,, no ballooning and diameter was normal also my kidneys were good as well.P hew, what a relief, as in the scanner, I thought it was targeting more than kidney level, back and forth, hold your breath, breath normally lots of times, maybe they didn't want to tell me until the results came in.
The diagnosis as this moment is that I have shingles., the DR could see one
" vesicle' and today maybe there are 2 more..
So if I don't leave any comments, it isn't that I haven't read and kept up with all your news, just too painful to use my right hand and arm .
And as I think no post is OK without at least one photo, here is the Begonia keeping Moxy's grave company.
