Little Prick...
Little Prick... Well, it's done. Monday has come and gone, and I'm at home, recovering from my procedure. Here's just hoping that Ortho God has solved my problem... Monday morning saw me arriving at Admissions a little earlier than necessary, but Mr Hansen had dropped me off, and was heading off to work. I wasn't expecting to see him until the late afternoon, when he'd be collecting me, in whatever drugged state I would be. After giving my name, I joined a room full of others, who all seemed to be disappearing into the jaws of the day clinic before me, despite the fact I had been the first to arrive. Then my name was called again, and a lovely young student nurse (studying at the university where I work, co-incidentally) ushered me into a cubicle, and asked me a couple of questions, took my blood pressure, and advised me to remove my clothing and dress in the hospital gown. Once done, I was ushered into another waiting room, filled with people in various states of undress... trendy slippers and dressing gowns vying for attention, and Jeremy Kyle blaring in the background. I must admit I have never watched day-time telly (being one who usually works), but the 5 minutes I saw of Mr Kyle reinforced my decision to leave the telly off while I'm at home, and listen to the radio instead!!! My lovely student nurse came to find me again, and told me to clamber onto a trolley bed. "Um, couldn't I just walk?" I asked. The hospital porter sniggered, and said it was rather a long walk to the main theatre, and I wasn't really dressed for the occasion. So, I lay back and had a decidedly different view of the hospital corridors as I was wheeled from Admissions to the Main Theatre. Ortho God was there when we arrived, and I wasn't sure if he was joking when he asked in which leg I was suffering my sciatica. Ortho God had an assistant... a rather nice young man, with twinkling eyes above his surgical mask. He and Student Nurse helped me move from the generous proportions of the trolley to a VERY narrow theatre table, where I presented the observing staff a lovely view of my crumpled cotton backless gown. Mentally I was bracing myself for an anaesthetic, so imagine my surprise when I was told I'd be sedated instead!! Seems Ortho God wanted me to be awake while he shoved a needle into the small of my back... I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, but as I lie here now, I can tell you already that the pain is nothing compared to what I had been suffering before. I have a beautiful bruise on my back, but for the first time in ages, I can actually lie flat on my back, and not cry from the pain as I try to turn over. Ortho God wants to see me again in 6 weeks time... I hope that will be the last I see of him!!! And I mean that in a nice way, of course!! |

Glad to hear that you are already feeling the benefit. Hope you don't have to go back to hospital any time soon. They should be avoided at all costs as full of sick people! Why would anyone want to go there! Good luck and best wishes with your recovery! Jez xx
