Hallucinations

I started off with a fairly good nights sleep but soon got woken by the wound leaking, so I had another dressing. Unfortunately I hadn't brought many clothes into the hospital as I didn't know what to expect and that I would be getting in a bit of a mess! In the end I had to start wearing the hospital gown which was better than keep spoiling my clothes but someone pointed out that I looked like a dinner lady!!

Following the start of the IV antibiotics by stomach has gone mad (if you know what I mean). It's horrible.

The wound leaked again at lunchtime, so another dressing change. The doctors have also changed my medication slightly as I was complaining that my back was beginning to hurt more. I thought maybe from lying in the bed the majority of the day. They've upped the Tramadol at night.

During the afternoon and evening I started having funny visions and slurring my words. I was seeing images in front of me that actually weren't there. A balloon had been left from a previous patient and I kept seeing things on it when it was a plain balloon. Something obviously wasn't right. I tried sending people txt messages and it was a nightmare. If I did manage to send one, it was either one word because somehow I'd lost the rest of it or I was sending out old messages. I was all over the place and couldn't understand it. I'd had quite a few visitors and I think they must have thought I was going mad (or maybe it's just normal for me!!).
