What do you do when your doctor tells you you have 2 maybe 3 days to live.

I've been a member of CS for over 7 years now. Been blogging on & off most of that time, have made some good friends on here, but seems even some of them don't believe a word I say moping That's a bit cutting as I've never knowingly told a lie either here or in the real world, but I made a comment on Usha's blog & even some of the regulars don't believe what I said was true wow Makes mental note to review my friends judgement writing

So back to the original OP what do you do, well that fits into three categories, the first being exactly what you're told to do, then secondly you don't rent any long movies professor Thirdly you don't choose this week to give up smoking, I mean what's it going to do, kill you laugh I've always had a passion for fast cars so sort of envisioned the end would be say a 400 year old oak tree with my head buried in it, not something the size of an atom mumbling Problem with things that small they breed faster than rabbits & before you know it there's billions of the little buggers eating you alive help I'm a little short on detail as one of the side effect of an infection in your head is total deafness, I did manage to catch the doctor saying I was lucky, hmmm well to me lucky would have been not getting it in the first place, but by Saturday, I'd been taking painkillers for weeks which I realised weren't doing my any favours so cut right back, and it was then I realised how serious it was & decided to go to a private clinic, she told me I probably wouldn't have made it till Monday wow

My thanks to my neighbour & Biff who've been driving me to the clinic, I can't drive myself as the council have been out putting bends in all the roads that weren't there last week, plus I'm now banned by the doctor due to one of the pile of tablets I have take day & night is a narcotic yawn

So you can choose to believe this blog or not, but i will tell you the lab that did bloods works on my sample today did question whether they came from someone still alive rolling on the floor laughing

Red, scold now don't give Biff any encouragement, she's bossy enough as it is laugh

But you're 100% correct, when the doctor told me what was wrong I did actually think hmmm, do I really care who the next pm will be or what Trump said on Twitter today....... No laugh
Bogart, thanks & yes the health service here is very good, just that I'd have been dead before I finished filling out the forms doh laugh
JJ, raring to go is something I'm looking forward to, making a cup of tea & falling asleep for 5 hours while I wait for it to cool down is more the reality doh laugh
Nam, I'll do my best laugh
Mimi, you've been living in the southern hemisphere therefore all your cooking has been upside down, stands to reason it will be excellent when you're the right way up professor rolling on the floor laughing
Itchy, will never know what caused it, doctor said it could have been a spec of dust coming through the car window, the medication I was taking to ease the pain was masking how bad it was, far as I was concerned it was getting better, not until stopping the pain killers because they were making me ill did it become apparent just how serious it was.
Thanks for the boost of confidence, Zman! cheering giggle






Arty, ready or not...here I come! super
Itchy, why would I change doctor confused she's very good.

I made an error in an earlier comment to you, the dust getting in the car window is something I need to be careful of rather than the cause of the problem, the infection has destroyed both my ear drums so a speck of dirt could cause more problems, you have to bear in mind when I went in there on Saturday I was totally deaf, so missed nearly everything she said doh

Usha, thanks, not much I can add to the comment I just made to Red, how's you dunno wine
Drink plenty water to flush the zombie tablets out of your system. laugh

As if Biff is not enough, here I am virtually mothering you. rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Usha, I have a special solution I have to mix up to do that, all set into my phone, a quick check tells me that's next due in 59 minutes 32 seconds laugh
Hello Z,

I am very happy to hear that you caught things in time and you are here to share your experience with others....to possibly learn from for the future.

Take care...and wish you a 100% recovery.

wave
Johnny, thanks, yes hopefully caught in time, bit hard to know as taking the zombie pills make you feel the living dead anyway blues laugh but my dentist summed it up, us men tend to assume all things will cure themselves, other than Man Flu of course laugh
But all this started with a slightly swollen ear lobe, in my defence I didn't have that down as being a killer wow

Nam, didn't get much choice tonight, next zombie pill was due at 4am laugh now I have 2 hours before I have to take the solution to combat the effects of the pill yawn still it'll be getting light by then so if I'm up to it will try & water the garden.
Zman, wave

Take your Zombie pills. No one gets to know what it feels like to be a Zombie while living. laugh

Tell us more about your Zombiehood. Or Biff can write a book about a Zombie among humans. What was that book. Twilight or something. It had it's audience for sure. laugh
Usha, do you remember the old zombie films where you'd see them slowly staggering about with there arms outstretched & bumping into things dunno they weren't acting, they just used to give them one of my zombie pills laugh
The Twilight Zone...

Chat, yep that pretty much much sums up what being on the zombie pills is like laugh
I would apologise for wrongdoings and tell all i love how much they mean to me.


Hope you feel better soon....wave
I,m keeping my eye on you grin but sending warm vibes too banana banana
Deedee, thanks.
In my case I wouldn't have anything to apologise for as if I thought it was wrong I wouldn't have done it in the first place, and escaping death on this occasion merely postpones my elevation to sainthood please rolling on the floor laughing
"Sainthood"
rolling on the floor laughing laugh laugh ............detective
Red, thanks but have no fear I have Biff & my neighbour ready to nag at a moments notice the minute they think I'm not doing something I should be blah laugh

Sorry to hear that. As somebody who has been put on Chemo and rejected it, and on painkillers, they have awful side effects so try and take as little as possible. Don't move back to rainy cold UK .
Best wishes from a rainy rainy dank Dublin, Ireland.hug
GG, long time no see, I'm normally ok with pain killers, it's these antibiotics that do me in, apparently my reaction to them is unusual but I have to take them, just a few days left now cheering
Hi Z, Yep finish the Antibiotics, it's imperative you do. I'm sure you've been told 100 times but eat
yoghurt, natural if possible and keep the gut flora from making you sick whilst taking. No alcohol.wine crying Hope you are well soon.
GG, till this week I'd seen a doctor once in 50 years, so I don't think I'm too far wrong on what I eat, as for yogurt I'd sooner die than eat that barf laugh
The doctor asked if I drank a lot of alcohol, which I don't, she didn't ban it so I took that to mean I can have one beer a day drinking laugh
Red, it's very fashionable to be having blood tests and courses of pills at the moment I'm told, can we help it if we're trend setters laugh
What do I do when my doctor tells me I have 2 maybe 3 days to live?

Hmm.. I will made him correct his words! devil

Hope you will get much better, ZMountain. And hope Biff is well.
comfort
