Hubby in hospital - he's home!
Chez's had the flu since last Sat and had bad pain between his eyes, which moved more to his right eye and increasingly worse over Christmas. It got so unbearable during yesterday early morn that he had to drive himself to Urgent Care in Burnley (major controversy as our A&E was shut down and we have to go to Blackburn now) at 5am. He had a bad reaction to the drugs given and was in agony with his stomach. I met him there at 8am and he was taken to B/burn hosp....where we waited 4 hours in A&E waiting for a bed on the Assessment Unit, all the while he's in pain and wasn't seen by a doc. Once on the MAU, it took another 1.5hr to get him a pillow and by the time I left at 6pm (4.5hr later) he still had no blankets!
Anyway, it looks like he's got severe sinusitis which may have caused an abcess and is on morphine for the pain. I really hope the anti-bios kick in so he can come home today. I'm at my mum n dad's so at least have the internet! And I will be there tomorrow come what may, but may have to leave at 2pm ish, depending whether he's still in hosp or not.
Hope you're all well....and if you get sinus pain at all, go to the docs, as this is awful. x

I hope you have a healthier 2009 - think you've had enough bad luck as far as health goes!
Big hugs - and possibly a very large glass of something mildly alcoholic!! xxx

Our local A&E was shut a few years ago now and we have to go 18miles to the nearest unit and then usually have god awful waits too, can't believe how crap the NHS has become, it's the nurses i feel sorry for, they spend more and more time on paperwork than they do on patient care and there is never enough of them to go round.
Really looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!
