Seen the brain dude

Today I saw my neurosurgeon. He wants me to have another MRI scan and then start from scratch in his investigations/ So that means possibly another ICP bolt. Rubbish!

Seeing my Neurosurgeon

I am seeing my neurosurgeon today. Hoping he will offer me something that will help. Whilst my chiari has been put on the back burner since all the mental health stuff happened, I am still struggling everyday with head, neck, back and shoulder pain. Hoping for some kind of relief!

Time to be honest.

So as most of you will know I recently spent 11 weeks in a psychiatric hospital. Almost all of you will not know why, other than what I've shared on here. 

Truth is I've been diagnosed as having a schizophrenic type condition. I know that's a scary word but to me it's a relief. I am not one to hide or be embarrassed by my conditions. Any questions no matter how small comment on this or send me a message using the box on the right!

Freedom!

I am finally free, having been discharged today. I'm having lots of community support but after eleven and a half weeks I am no longer a hospital inpatient. Eleven weeks, three hospitals, 7.5 weeks in intensive care, two comas, ten different medications and lots of support later and I'm hoping to stay out of hospital for good! I want to thank everyone who has contacted me using the little form to the right and sent messages of support it means a lot. I'll keep the updates coming as I adjust to life outside of a locked ward!

Home for a while

So I am home until Monday. Currently lounging in my bed and loving it. Should be discharged next week. 

Where do I start?

So things are going oky here. I am still in hospital, ten weeks today! Am now in my 4th hospital and hoping this one will be my last, as I am inching closer towards coming home. Am out of intensive care and now only a 20min drive from home!!!! Should be out of here very soon! Keep everything crossed. Will update again next week or when I'm home, which ever is sooner!

They've fixed me.......I wish

These posts are getting harder to write as I'm drugged up on lots of different meds and the new ones make focusing hard. 

Managed to avoid being restrained last night which is progress. 

Still sleeping on a plastic mattress with no sheets. Annoying!

Tried to ligature without success the night before last. 

We've just had the compulsory morning meeting and quiz which I won again! 

Have a few manic people in so it's super loud so I'm hiding away in my room. Only get my phone for 30 mins twice a day so can't write blog posts like I'd hope to. Keeping track and will blog properly one home! 

Love and craziness to you all. X
