One Expensive Companion!

So, I have this rabbit called Spice, and last week I took him to the vets because he had poorly eyes, and then got told he needed to have an operation as it was his teeth that was causing the problem.

Tuesday came and it was time to take him for the operations, I dropped him off at 0900 and didnt get him back untill 1630, wow what a long day that was when it is something you love so dearly!

The vet tld me that becuase he was so mistreated from the people I rescued him from, his teeth were in such a bad condition, she was suprised he could eat at all. Poor little sod, so helpless yet gets treated like crap, just glad I rescued him when I did!

Sadly it cost me a grand total of £140, but that is £140 well spent and wouldnt have it any other way!!

Since he had been runing around like a happy little chappy, so his teeth must have been really hurting him!

In the mean time I have had to feed him through a syringe, what job that has been...who know how messy you (and the rabbit and the sofa and the carpet and the cushions) sould actually get!

Took him back to the vets today and they are really happy with his progress, said that they can tell he is very much loved and cared for now (put a smile on my face to know I was doing right!)

Have to take him back again in a weeks time to make sure all is good, and fingers crossed that is the last vets trip for a few months!

Think he just wants to kee up with his owner for having the Doctors look at him...Well they do say that our pets are like their owners dont they!!

What An Outstanding Week!!

With an eventful week I think im due a holiday, only fair, right?!

Monday was a lush day, I met with a nice man called Chris, Realy nice looking, Chats for England and certainly knows how to treat a lady right. BUT for some reason, I dont know whether being with him is the right choice.

Tuesday was reasonably good, had Occupational Health and the loveRly man agreed for me to return to work on a set plan. GREAT so happy, although a little scared as I havnt actually worked since April 2011 now so a little worries about how my chest may be and whether I would be able to do my job as well as what I used to. Following this, I then had to run to Weston hospital for a load of tests on my eyes to see why I have blurred vision.

Wednesday Consisted of my two weekly Asthma cheek up, and I was saved by the fire alarm. Literally. Had all my usual ENO and Spiro done which I have to say was pretty ok this week, not sure if this is because it was on a different machine or not though?! Then just as I sat in the next room and started discussing the future with my Asthma and being refered to Birmingham, and trying to reduce back to maintenance meds, and was about to have my chest listened to as Ive had an infection for 2 weeks now, the alarm went off. Kindly I told the resp team that I would leave them to it as it would be a long wait, and I would email them if anything went wrong or I needed their help. Result, otherwise I  think I was on the verge of being captured again!

Thursday on the other hand was a little different. Went back to Weston hospital for another eye appointment, had even more tests, two lots of drops and a 2 hour wait, to then be told I have cataracts as a result of the long term steroids that Ive been on. Thankfully, there not to bad at the moment, but im upset because with only being 20 its not nice knowing my vision could be effect in the next few months/years unless I can get off these steroids. Shame they cant find a cure for Asthma hey!

Friday was horrible. Had to take my rabbit Spice to the vets as I suspected he had an eye infection. £30 later, 3 times daily eye drops and and very scared rabbit after the vet was checking him all over, oh and an operation on Tuesday to fix his teeth that are wanting to grow in the wrong direction, and I should have a very nice an content Rabbit! Well, Ill let you know about that on Tuesday!

Today has been a lush relaxing day, Ive been doing a puzzle and had a walk to the pet shop to buy some stuff for Spice and then to the supermarket to buy stuff for me...yummy!!!

Well Thats my week so far :) lets hope next week is a little better!!

TTFN!!!

2012 So Far!

How was your new year?! Mine was amazing! NOT!

I was admitted again to hospital, my trip to A and E was, well urm a little different!

It satarted of with a very aragant A and E doctor fly past my in Resus, told me my sats were fine, I had no wheeze and that there was nothing wrong with me, an hour later I was our of resus and in a side room! (GREAT!)

Then a another Doc can to reveiw me and he listen to my mum for my past history to which he went 'ooooooooo' (made my chuckle thats for sure) he did a blood gas, which was shocking and I got moved back round by Resus.

Then I had the Med Reg on call revie me, by this point it was now midnight, poopers and cheers throughout the A and E depeartment! (what joy!). Med Reg remembered me very well from last time and was just as cocnered, as my sats were crap, my blood gas was crap and my air entry was urm CRAP! (so much for nothing being wrong with me)

At just gone 1 am I was moved to MAU where the Med Reg promised my mum he would look after me, and well lets just say he kept his promise, I have never met a Doctor look after me so well, he told the nurses to pop in on my every half hour and he was there every hour without fail checking on me, giving me extra meds and  stabbing me with needles.

Unfortunatly, I took a turn for the worse and by about 5am I was being rushed to ITU!

I had a loveRly nurse looking after me on ITU who kept giving me hugs (not sure thats allowed, but it was reassuring) and he kept calling me duck (aparently its a northern thing :S )

My loveRly doc from MAU come up and visited me up on ITU as he wanted to check in on me (not many docs do that, I was shocked as he did it the last time he sent me to ITU also)

By Tuesday I was transfered to the respiratory ward and my consultant came and reviewed me...and luck has it, they are now refering me to Birminham so who knows I may get some answers as to what is causing my asthma to go so tits up and I may get the best form of treatment to help me!

After being home for one day, It seems that I must have picked up a horrible chest infection from my stay in hospital and I am now suffering big time1!! oh the joys, another trip to the GP later for me thanks to mummmy!!!

Well thats my new year so far lets hope it gets a little better!!!
