If you have HA you may not want to read this.
As many of you know I had an accident a couple of years ago. I was painting the stair case and fell off the ladder backwards onto the stairs. My foot was wrapped around the rung of the ladder. I fractured 2 metatarsals and dislocated a toe. Recovery was very slow and I was in a lot of pain. In fact I still have pain in my foot now.
After 4 weeks off being in plaster I had to go and have my foot x rayed again. When the plaster was removed the pain in my foot was unbearable. I was left in a wheelchair to wait to go for the xray. I began to feel really ill and faint. The nurse brought me a drink of water and the next thing I knew I woke up in a room on a trolley with about 6 faces looking at me asking if I knew where I was. I didn't know at first, they had to tell me. I then started to vomit and can honestly say I had never felt so ill in my life before. They wheeled me in for the xray (my foot had not even started to heal) re plastered my foot (all without me being able to sit up) They then sent me to A&E for further tests on my heart etc. One of the nurses had said she thought I had had a seizure rather than just fainting. All of the tests were fine and I was sent home.
I keep reliving all this experience but through therapy have been able to deal with it. This week I have a terrible cold, chest infection and painful ringing ears and for some reason it has got me thinking about my horrible hospital experience again. rationally I know that it is a whole different thing but I feel so ill at the moment that it is making me anxious. A long time since anxiety has reduced me to tears but that is where I am this morning.
Hugs will be much appreciated.
