I thought I might be going home today but in light of the hallucinations and not being able to form sentences properly they decided to keep me in a little longer plus more importantly they're concerned about my kidney function and high calcium levels.
Dr Barrett did her rounds on the Ward today and thought I looked a lot better than the last time I saw her on Monday. She said we can stop the IV antibiotics which is a relief as my stomach is in need of a break! They've been running blood tests everyday and the results have indicated deterioration of my renal function so diclofenec has been stopped as has Tramadol which they think is the reason for the high calcium levels and also the recent hallucinations.
My Haemoglobin levels have dropped to 8.9 since being admitted so I'm having 2 units of blood, Pamidronate to help with the Calcium levels and now they're also giving me saline by the bag. Loads of it.
