Seven hours on a stretcher in the back of an ambulance after being blue lighted to the emergency room.
I can not fault the ambulance staff, they were brilliant. Kept my pain at bay, tried to keep my spirits up as I apologised for delaying them getting their next patients. They reassured me that the system was at fault & needed fixing to stop these long delays.
I was then admitted to the ward & given my first chance to go to the loo.
Bedpan full & the nurse spilt a bit and I had to sit in it for another 7 hours & yes even through all the pain I was embarrassed.
Little did I know I would have to wait another seven hours until my next visit to the bathroom !
Subjected to a barrage of tests & scans to decide what was wrong
Doctors were very loathed to do tests & plenty of umm-ing and arh-ing went on.
The dreaded lumber puncture was to be done, in came a man with a clipboard & calculator. Weight & height taken he then proceeded to tell me that it would be difficult to do a lumber puncture because “I have a fat spine “ ? A what ? Yep that was correct, I heard correctly. I assured him I did have some fat on my body but pretty sure people much larger than me have lumber punctures. I am not obese by a long way. He abruptly disappeared.
I was then transferred to another ward
Eighteen hours after I left my home a consultant came and I had to repeat myself for the fifth time. I had photophobia my head was about to explode, my neck stiff painful joints & temperature. He examined me told me a lumber puncture was not necessary, that I had viral meningitis, possibly caused by contact with someone who has had their covid vaccine. Oh the joys of a failing immune system. I have been advised not to have the vaccine because of my health conditions & even though the meningitis is awful ( fith time I have had it !) I would not want to risk the vaccine.
I guess I have been gifted as where I live is so remote & now I know just how bad this can make me without the injection, then masks & full precautions will be taken even though rules have relaxed in England & Wales.
Fixing one thing can break another. The world health organisation are aware of a link between the vaccine & meningitis. They are monitoring the situation.
I am home in my own bed & feeling awful but the antibiotics are starting to work. My body will make me pay for the use of antibiotics but when needs must it’s the lesser of two evils.
I knew I was bad but never thought it would be viral meningitis again.
So after the embarrassment, knock to my confidence & esteem in the knowledge that I have a “fat spine” I will retreat and lick my wounds & try to muster up enough strength to keep fighting.
I did not choose my body to be disabled with various illnesses but I have been made to feel ashamed &embarrassed about it.
I might just be feeling a touch delicate right now & not have taken these things to heart but had to express myself as alway in writing
