So you will be well practiced at Fasted for your next fasted training

 

Old saying .. the future have not happened yet, so nothing you can do about it .. the past is already in the past , so nothing you can do about it ... so why worry ?

True words, bit I was worried over recovery times.

Hi Robert

I was told the operation of the liver went real well. Doctor could not do a reversal of the stoma.

 

I am being moved to isolation due to some bacterial resistance. The test came back at 12h00. So it is part of why I am being moved to a general ward with a isolation room. High Cares is being used

I wish it was so. Still the colon operation hampering me.

One major thing that gets to me, I am not allowed to leave my room. So I am enclosed to my room which is a pain.

 

But hope to be on the bike soon and to get to the job market. Every person that asks me what I do for a job just adds to my humiliation.

Banish that thought boet

What you are going through and enduring is inspirational to many and far more significant than any job.

Join the club friend. You, me and 37% of this country. This is not a big black mark against a person anymore. Its just the South Africa we live in. Focus your energy to what counts.

Your job is to get better my friend. Humiliation is not something that you deserve, nor all those other unemployed people. Humiliation is what people should feel if they start to judge you, or anybody else who wants to work but can’t.

all is okay. Sleep is a huge problem with a wound stretching from the right (just under the ribs) to about a inch under the sternum.

At the moment the pain is off the charts. The meds just dulls it a bit. And do not want to go the morphine or tramadol route, but will have to.

[Cois]

Had a visit from a pain specialist today.

She worked out a pain management plan for me as (The pain meds I am on now, was compared to smarties)I have to use Tramadol 4 times a day for the next few days (12) to aid in the recovery so that I can get the last operation sorted.

I did not know that the effects would not be instantaneous, biut would take a few days to get to proper controlled levels.

Also got a prescription for new sleeping tabs. It sounds as if pain keeps you from falling asleep (wonder why most doctors can’t figure this out) so she said she just needs me to get rest as sleep is needed for recovery. She will do a reassessment in a few days.

 

We did not know that there were doctors specializing in pain management. The Matron from Kloof Hospital helped us to get connected to the doctor. We are so blessed by all the Matron did for us so far.

 

I have to admit that Wednesday morning I passed out from the pain, and Thursday (for the first time in a very long time) I contemplated suicide due to the pain and the matter that a anesthesiologist did not charge us the agreed rate, but 200% rate. So out of the Back a Buddy fund we have R4000 left. So not sure if we can pay the next operations expenses. So can only pray at this stage for the Heavenly Father to provide
