do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
ain't gonna be looking at it for a while ..... guess where I am ??Yes correct i think there are 4 screws oonce you get the instrument cluster out you can shine a torch down in there, Somwher i have the write up for doing this job, I will hunt it out for you.
sat watching a sequel to a great series we watched a few years ago .. very good .. turned the box off 'bout midnight and suddenly started to sweat .. thought oh sh1t .. gonna be a bad night ... time for some tramadol --- by the time I'd taken them and gottten to the bathroom upstairs, I was soaked ... absolutely drenched - running down my face / back /arms / legs and the pain was 12/10 ....
fought back chucking up for half an hour - but had to, by one o'clock and continued on/off 'til half two
shouted on Pam to get up & dressed and she's freaking out ...
no way could I drive and she was way too stressed, so had to ride it out 'til about four when it'd calmed down a bit - enough to sit up in bed and try for some zeds
full house Pancreatitis - again - God knows what caused it ?.. was just sat on the sofa (much like last July's episode)
Up at seven, glugged a dose of Oramorph, which didn't touch it, so packed a bag and called Vicki to come take us to Hereford - fed the cats and we were in A&E by 8.40
told 'em what was wrong ... " How do you know exactly? " " well I've had it three times before and was here last July with it - take my word I have Pancreatitis ! "
eventually got some attention - bloods all normal - ish, 'cept for the pancreatic enzyme Amilase - normal 100-120 units - mine 1241.9 - " yep you're right "
CT scan sorted after organising a couple of litres of fluid, I.V., with some liquid paracetamol, Tramadol and morphine for good measure, chest x-ray and a bed on the ward I spent a week on last July, by half three.
got up here and ...
" any chance of a coffee and summat to eat please ladies? "
I was 12 hrs ahead of when I hit the ward last time and'd gotten past the writhing on the floor stage and was a few hours ahead on the pain relief too ..... and much to my pleasure was hungry
which was good news as far as I am concerned ... took 3 or 4 days last time to feel like eating.Lovely chicken sarnie and a coffee " get you anything else ? " ... " same again please - that was lovely "
sod's law, had a hell of a busy week with the girls this coming week, but I could not see my body getting over last night without some medical intervention.
trouble is they're all gonna want my gall bladder ... they'll have to MRI me first and show me what happened to the stone they failed to extract from my billiary duct with the two ERCPs last October ... if it's still there I've not got much of an argument -- if it's moved it'll almost certainly be the cause of last nights instantaneous episode ...... and I'll be keeping my gall bladder - it's elective surgery, after all and previous bouts had 9 & 6 years between 'em
however -- one in five ppl don't survive pancreatitis
hmmm!!! ----I'm on #4
