Catch up

Hello all,it's been a while since I tweeted,so where on a catch up,,I've been on antibiotics since my operation,I was getting no answers from the consultant until today.,.,.
The antibiotics I was on had grown immune to my wound so I'm on new ones but I was stressing that it wasn't healing until I got an explanation,.,.ok,here goes ,.,.,.when a surgeon removes a cancer growth there never sure it's all been removed hence chemo,etc ,.,.,.thats why I'm on 3 months antibiotics,,my consultant wants to be sure that all the bone is no longer infected ,.,.,. I finish the antibiotics in the middle of March ,.,.,. A few weeks away,.,then it'll be M.R.I with colour to check that all the infection has cleared up ,.,., if it has then he might stitch up the wound ,.,.then it's HOME time,yayyyy
So I'll blog again tomo ,my wrist is aching,lol


Peace & Love my friends Nige

I'm a lucky boy

I had the operation on my hip,,the Femur head and a little bone came out,,,the bone was riddled with osteomyelitis in the bone,I was damn lucky they caught it in time or it would of rotted all my bones away,,,it all went well just 6-8 weeks of antibiotics,,,I was really gutted as it meant I'd miss another Xmas with my family,,,I hate the thought as my Mum has got Cancer and I want as many xmas days as I can,',,anyway,,,the hip part of my hospital stay is going well,it's only been 2-5 yrs of cockups,,,,,,,, This time will work ,.,.,.
Peace & Love my friends

Back doing time .,.,.,.,Tick Tock ,.,.,.,.

Well now just after my last blog I was found one morning half off my bed on the floor. I was foaming foam the mouth and just about with it,,I was taken to Telford hospital,apparently I thought I was a fighter pilot and the hospital was an airport,,I'd got a very bad infection in my wound and a build up off Potassiam which made me mad anyway seen I was in a normal hospital they almost killed me a few times,I'm not joking,I finally got into Oswestry spinal unit my 2nd home where it came to light that the bone in my right hip was infected,,I'll go into detail in my next few blogs anyway I've got to have the hip bone cut out,,,,,maybe before Xmas I hope and after it's healed that will be the end of it,.,.,.,.Peace & Love my friends ,.,.,.,.

A town called sheffield !!!

Hello im nige's girlfriend and im just writting a blog tonight for nige to let you know how things are going with his sore hip !! Nige has had the vac on for a couple of weeks and his sore has healed alot but now nige thinks his sore has become infected and its made him abit down :( but nothing gets nige down for long and now nige is going to get the second opinion he was advised to get and is going to arrange an appointment with the spinal hospital in sheffield to see if an operation would be the best option !! It would mean a longish stay in hospital but would be so worth it if it meant a healed hip sore !!! Fingers crossed it will become a reality and nige can do all the things he wants to do like playing wheelchair rugby and a sking holiday he is looking forward to :))) love you loads nige xx and not forgetting peace and happiness....... From nige !!

The end is nigh

Well my friends I've had the VAC therapy on my wound for a week now and to my utter delight it looks like my round is finally healing,if it carries on at the rate it's been healing I reckon another 4-6 weeks in bed and I should be at last set free from this nightmare,I'll have to take it really easy for the rest of the year as it will still be fragile,.,.,.
I won't know what to do with myself,a holiday with with a certain special person would be amazing,one thing at a time me thinks,I'll be getting the dressing changed again on Thursday so I'll update again then ,.,.,.Ciao for now ,.,.,.Peace & Love ,.,.

I hope this works

I've had this VAC therapy unit fitted to my hip,.it works like a vacuum and it sucks all the skin together which in turn should make it heal faster well that's the theory .I so hope it works as I don't know what else to do and nor do the people trying to heal it,.but I'm still laughing at the moment I rarely let things get me down for long as it's a waste of energy,.,.I'm contemplating staying in bed so there's no pressure at all on the wound but I did that for 16 months before and it still never healed,.,.mmm only time will tell,.,.watch this space,.,.love ya's ,.,.Peace & Love ,.,.

If I don't laugh I'll cry ,.,.

Helloooo ,.,.I went to hospital on Thursday and while I'm their a consultant comes and has a look at my sore on my hip,.the district nurses have been treating the funny coloured stuff in the middle of it as dead tissue for the last 6 weeks,I've had maggots on it which escaped in my bed and freaked my head out so anyway the consultant said it was a layer of tissue,fibrous tissue which means I've been pissed about for the last 6 weeks for nothing but nobody has the balls to put their hands up and say sorry,I was wrong it's not them suffering so nobody cares and they go home at night I'm left with it,.,.
On the way home the Ambulance broke down,I kid you not,that was the icing on a very big shitty cake,so I'm stuck on a little poxy stretcher on the side of a very busy road,A5,for about an hour,I finally get home after a frustrating day,.,.what next in "The Phillips Saga" ,.,.watch this space ,.,.

The Mojo is back

Well I've woke up a happy camper this morning,.no more moaning as it's a waste of energy which I can put into getting this hip sorted,.,.I've got the Tissue Viability Specialist coming to see me this afternoon,.,.I love her name Joy Tickle ,.,sounds like a 70's porn star but she's quite sexy as well ,.yep,.mojo is back ,.,.the Gaddaffi story is bizarre ,it'll end up pear shaped when America butts in to try and control the oil,always down to money anyway my friends I'll update later today after Miss Tickle has been,.,.,. Peace & Friendship ,.,.

Last Thursday I woke up and to my great Happiness I found my little friends had escaped and where roaming free around my bed,.,.it's totally freaked me out so I decided to go shopping but did I shop did I hell,.,.I went past a pub and a mate popped his head out,.so I go in for 1 pint,.I end up getting home via a taxi completely pissed,.it's now Tuesday night and I've only just come round,.,.I've been a bit down these last couple of weeks ,.,.this sore on my hip is destroying me I just don't know what to do about it,.,.I can see me ending up in hospital again,.,. Ive given myself the old talking too,,I think it's worked I can feel my mojo coming back,.,.my next blog will be funny-ish I promise,.bye for now my friends ,.,.Peace & Love ,.,.

I hate red tape ,.,.,.

All I want is to be able to get into my back garden,.,.So I phone up the housing association and asked them if they'd adjust the bottom of the back door a very simple request but oh no I've got to get an O.T to come and assess "my needs" ,laugh I nearly cried so I phone the local council and speak to the O.T department,.,I'm thinking oh this is easy but NO,,my request has to be processed to see if it's a valid request for me to be seen,.,I then say it's a fire risk and I'll phone the fire safety officer that made there ears prick up,.,so I phone,he was a top bloke and told me about a government fund for minor home improvements,.,.,.That'll be tomorrow's blog,.,.,.,.Wish me luck,.,.,.,.Peace & Love ,.,.,.

Nigel Mansell

Hi again all,I've been a little lazy on the old blogging lark,,,Well now,,I haven't drove for about 5plus years,so I decided the other day to just go for it again,,so I did,,,,oh the time I've wasted and the years,.,.I'm feeling the best I have in years,.,.just before I did my hip wound I was in a pit of despair I didn't really want to live any longer ,.just tired with being disabled,.so in a way this sore has made me want to live again,.,I've given up drinking and now I wake up wanting to do things,.,.infect life is good at the moment so when my hip does heal I'm going to do some living life,.,. My friends I wish you all Peace & Love ,.,.

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

Vac me away baby,.,.

Hi again all,.,.well the maggots have been and gone,.,they've cleaned my wound up to the extent that I've now got a V.A.C therapy unit fitted,.,.I'll try and put a link to explain it,.,.I think I've found someone special,.more on that later,.maybe!!

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

Welcome home

I heard a knock on the front door at7.30am,then the back door,,then to my sheer delight I heard 2 men in my back garden,they knocked on my bedroom window,,it was the Ambulance,,I told them to go away very "politely",,After several phone calls I found out they'd got the times wrong,,so I'm now going to Hospital on Monday,,,Why do people treat me so differently just because I can't walk,it drives me mad but I just have to accept..,.I've no choice anyway I am happy at the moment all will be revealed soon,.,.so c ya next blog,.,.,.Peace & Respect.,.,*~*,.,.

I've kicked them out ,.,.,.,.,

Well my little friends have gone home now,.,.My wound is looking a lot cleaner and I'm having another treatment of the greedy little monsters on Friday .,then that should give me a good chance of it finally healing once and for all...Had a nice Chinese last night with some friends...I was having a wash this morning and I thought the maggots had escaped but it was a couple of grains of rice in my bed...I'm off to hospital tomorrow....I think a little snooze is in order.,.,. Peace & Love

Banging Headache

I haven't had the best of days hence blogging so late,.,.I had a DYSREFLEXIC attack,.,.I'm going to try and explain briefly.,.,.My blood pressure goes sky high and it can lead to a stroke or even death,.,.,(.Autonomic dysreflexia, "AD" also known as "autonomic hyperreflexia or Hyperreflexia, is a potentially life threatening condition which can be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate attention)
