Just a little about me

Back again to tell you more about my experience of being paralysed.with my level of injury not all the muscles work in my arms,I remember I had 2 bolts screwed into my temples with weights on the back of the bed to keep my neck straight and to let it heal,Id never experienced that level of pain,the cleaners used to bang the weights at times,the language from my bed was very colourful to say the least.three months I stayed like that,staring at the ceiling for one month I was completely paralysed but thank someone up there, down there my arms slowly began to move. But no hand /finger movement that hurt more than never ever walking again.Everybody who. Came to see me seemed to know or heard about someone who ended up walking or I'd hear that I had to believe,want it,blah blah enough,it drove me mad,when the. Day came that the bolts came out of my head,a consultant walked behind my bed and just unscrewed them to delight,the pain was out of this world but I was free from my shackles.when i tried to lit my arms in the air they would collapse and hit me in the face,i found out that i haven't any Triceps that worked,deep joy i thought can it get any worse then i sneezed and it was a tiny little pathetic ACHOO that was the icing on the this new life of mine,after a few x-rays to make my neck was stabilised it was time to get up into a wheelchair they hoisted me out of bed in a sling,i absolutely hated it,i felt like a piece of meat at a butchers anyway down into the char i went and within 2 minuets of being up id passed out,they tip you back to get the blood back into your head

Hospital waiting times

I had to go to hospital yesterday.,.the Ambulance picked me up about 12.00pm, I have to go on a stretcher because of my Sore/Wound on my hip,.,I'm not keen on it at all but I've got to go,so I get there about 1.00pm,my appointment lasted about 10mins then with a scared look on here face Nurse Bird told me I'd have to wait till 5,00pm for Transport,,.,.Yippee I cried out in sheer delight so several cups of tea later I'm off on my travels again.Travelling backwards in what is essentially a fitted out Transit van don't half make you feel sick which I did .,eventually got home after about an hour of travel wonderment ,.Back to my pit of doom,lol,....What Happens next is the Deepest of deep joys.,.,.Peace & Love my friends

Do Maggots Drink

I thought sod I'll have a beer and then I got to thinking If the alcohol in my blood stream would get to my friendly little friends,.,.,.

If I suddenly see glow-sticks and hear whistles I'll know the answer is yes,.,.,.,.I got a bit concerned when the Sister said if you see red fluid seeping through the dressing not to worry,.,.great,.,.Thanks I thought for that little nugget of info,.,.,.I'm slowly getting into this "Blogging lark" ,.,.,.when "Emmerdale" did there Tetra bit I'd love to know what you thought,.,.E-Mail me ,.,.Go on,.,.nigelphillips69@gmail.com

Maggot Man

After a long wait,,I finally have the maggots in place on my wound on my right hip,I'm glad in a way that I can't feel them,.,.this should be the beginning of the end of the hip saga about 2yrs ago I fell out of my chair and my hip bone compounded the flesh,it was all dead underneath my skin and I was in a dark place so I never really looked after myself,,I might come back to the why's one blog in the future,,so anyway I remember one morning there was a rather large hole there and 2yrs later I'm still suffering from my own stupidity,,,,.,.,.
The Maggots stay in place for 5 days and with a bit of luck they've done there job,,it'll be clean and should promote the healing,,I've missed to much of life and I need to catch up ,.,.,.think I'm going for a little snooze now,,,oh yeah I'm stuck in bed for the forciable future,.,.,.As Arnie says ,,I'll be back,,,.,.
Peace & Love
