Yesterday morning i was sitting quite happily on tha loo, minding my own business, when suddenly an icy coldness crept from my toes to my chest and then my head went all dizzy... Wasting no time i finished up and quickly got to the couch... Unconsciousness looming i started to panic and hyperventilate (again)... This time with no hesitation i asked my husband to call for an ambulance... Last trip in an ambulance the Paramedics said never to hesitate to call and as there is a depot just around the corner the call was made... My mum spoke with them... She had stayed the night before as i had noticed blood in my urine and so she was organised to take me to the doctors about it... Too late! So off i went for another Ambulance trip! By this time i was starting to feel fine and secretly wondering if i could play hooky... But no (Sighhh) once there, the tests began... Bloods were taken and then i was hooked up and given fluids (As i was deemed a little dehydrated)... Then my Oncologist was called and a CT scan was set up (Aaaarrrggghhh! And you KNOW how i feel about THEM!!!) But the staff/nurses/technicians were so incredibly kind and patient and my Doc so gentle and thorough that what could i do but comply (Lol!)
So now after a full day spent in hospital yesterday, i await test results and doc appointments... One little scary thought occurred when during my CT a tech asked me if i had ever had any kidney surgery? No i sighed but i have noticed blood in my urine (Damit!) Although the tests in hospital all showed no bloody urine but some slight sign of infection, so fingers crossed i whispered to myself UNTIL... The very kind nurse said "Good Luck" as they wheeled me back to ED (Emergency Department)...
Last time i heard that from a Radiology Dept i was diagnosed with breast cancer (Do you think i should tell them one day that those words strike fear into hearts of cancer patients?)

You, know, you've got to quit living so dangerously. I'm sure you know that, too, and I'm sure you'd like to live a little less dangerously.
The point is that when you tell us these stories, you scare the living daylights out of us (or at least some of us).
I hope soon your can and will actually feel better, and quit scaring us. And yourself.
Blessings and Bear hugs.
xox. Big Hug

Vicki, although I smile as I reach the end of each post, I truly do not know what to expect when I see you have posted.
My love and thoughts always with you xo
Sending angels your way......I, too, have BC and after 8 years have recently had a recurrence. Very scary but treatable. For today. live out loud. Hugs
hoping that its just an infection. and dont worry too much about the good luck maybe she said it to everyone. prayers and positive energy coming your way.
Gotta love chocolates :)
My husband used to love taking his nurses and doctors chocolates. Every time he went in for chemo, they knew they were getting chocolates. They absolutely adored him :)
Yeah, it is sweet, Nolly Posh. I sometimes wonder if Australian medical care is, perhaps, more humane. Doctors and hospitals here in the U.S. can be awfully cruel places here in the U.S. That's why when I find a doctor I like, I stick like glue. As for not hesitating to call an ambulance, an ambulance ride here can run into the thousands of dollars, and when you're insurance is maxed-out, you're on your on your own to pay for it. It's sometimes said that America's healthcare plan consists of not getting sick.
Anyway, dear, I hope you're back to minding your own business while sitting on the loo. I love you, Hon. I know I don't get by as much as I should, but I've been pretty busy lately.
Robin you are one of my ~Earth Angels~ and much more Beautiful and Inspiring... And i will Love You for Ever for never giving up on me <3
Tee!Hee! KJ i think that we were meant to make Life FUN! i have learned that... Not saying i am not often at the moment a sooky baby, but i do try to find the humor in Life... Like You do my teacher in all things Fun! X:-)
Thankyou Cheryl and Tenfold back to you my Strong and Wonderfully Thoughtful friend xox
Dearest Lyn, Guess we need to just keep on keeping on and keep the Faith... And accept the ups and downs of this illness, there is still much to learn perhaps? Blessings to You xox
Angela, Thankyou soooo much for all the lovely wishes, they fill my Heart <3
TGL, Isn't it nice to give a little back, it feels so good <3
Dearest Snow, For a family ambulance payment it is only $150 a year for as many trips as you need, there is no limit (and this year they halved it to get more people to take it up) We also have free public medical care for everyone... We are sooo lucky! We also have the Private system where you pay for things like the same doctor and private rooms/hospitals and etc but it is expensive... i have a minimal private cover or they tax you more but i don't use it... But in my case i see a private Oncologist and go to the hospitals that she goes too which are both Private and Public... She is also always available by phone by other doctors should i be not in one of her hospitals... Really wish you guys had our system too... Luv ya too ma bloggy mate xox
You are such a sweetie! It's people like you who make it so worthwhile for the medical staff.
Hope it was an infection which was treated...Love and hugs
