Recent admission to hospital

RE: Recent admission to hospital
I know that pain Rob, and feel for you, believe me. Good to see you are getting better.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Glad you're doing as well as circumstances allow. May you continue to improve.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I've been able to eat a full and varied diet, after 5+ years on an extremely bland one. A couple of weeks ago, we got a wake-up call that I’m not as free as I thought.

After eating some spicy food followed by a fruit salad, I developed a blockage which led to 18 hours of pain; an admission to A&E; a transfer to another hospital; and several nights stay in that hospital. I was very well taken care of, and I’m now out and doing well, although I’m having intermittent pain. We’re being careful at the moment with a fairly bland diet, and we plan to slowly build it up to a compromise position between bland and free eating.

The time before this that I had to go to A&E with a blockage, I totally lost my grip and was mentally breaking down because of the pain and mental torment. I believe I wrote about that on here. This time I came close to the edge several times, but managed to pull myself back.

Although ME, depression and anxiety still plague me; and I’m living a life I’d rather not have, for the sake of others; it’s still a huge relief to be out of hospital. I’m now making it a point to be grateful to the previous "me" who withstood the agony and mental torture, and to appreciate the relative bliss of being pain-free and not being hooked up to any machines.
Sometimes, life's just not fair.

Wishing you a good life.

Ya got my sympathies Rob. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
