Fluid in feet and legs

This is not good, in fact it's a little worrying. Still having bloody stool and now my feet are swelling up like balloons... What now?!

Possibly the new medication from the doc so no more of that stuff and maybe i should start eating less to help things in my bowl heal up.

Common body heal!

A glass of T5 Rhum b4 Bed

I had almost forgotten the taste. Much smoother than some of the expensive Rum at home.

They say this stuff cures everything...

Hello Christmas

It's Christmas Day and i feel ok... until lunch time then the cramps, bowl pain, the bloody runs, ect...

Dia-tabs not doing much again. Taking 2 in the morning and than 1 every 4 hours.

A few more bubbles in my iv line later

Having given a 2nd sample of a dark cloudy bloody stool sample and the doctor recommending i purchase more of these from his surgery he gives me a box relating to the product.

It's a pyramid scheme. Sell to your friends and they sell to friends everyone is happy and makes this much money per month! Yay...

Clearly i'm just wasting a bed here and paying for it. I would rather rest at home so i ask to be discharged but the doctor is unavailable.

Just before bed the nurse comes in and gives me some more bubbles in my iv line... thanks..

Science and Medicine

Being a hospital i naturally get the feeling "leave it to the experts they will work it out" so in a way relax thinking they will find the correct solution and apply it the safest manor.

But.. Here comes the nurse and informs me this is the medication i must take

1. An expensive berry juice with a label "no proven medical benefits"
2. and a tablet from a bottle also with the label "no proven medical benefits"

I'm sure the "no proven medical benefits" part is not a selling tactic.

The only type of pain killer i have the choice of can only be given every 8 hours and seems to only work for 3-4hours. Asking about other options well not really, give me half then another half of that i can have after 4 hours to try and spread it out can't do that.. I'm starting to think i'm in a bad movie only to see the nurse push an air bubble into my iv line when she gives the pain killer. 

Not taking any notice i kink the hose and point out the 2inch air lock just about to enter my hand. She promptly unkinks the hose and gives it a flick "that's fine" i guess she knows best.

Carefully watching as they replace my iv fluid another air bubble travels down the iv line and i ask again "is that ok?" and she reply "that's normal".

A little bit alarmed thinking i haven't been watching every time they touch the line no doubt i'm gonna start ballooning with all this air entering my veins? A quick jump on google gives me some data on how much air it takes to kill a person... those bubbles in the IV line are not very much i suppose.

Emergency @ Mactan Doctors Hospital

Awake for some blood samples, than some urine and stool samples...

What one is the urine and what one is the stool? Both liquid but the one with blood is the stool that's the give away. Nurse looking slightly alarmed.. Like this for 4+ days? Yep.

Will be kept in for observation over night, just waiting for a bed to be available.

While waiting 2 other people come in with same symptoms. One of them a whitey.

Back to sleep before the painkiller wears off....

Admitted to Emergency @ Mactan Doctors Hospital

Not really an emergency but what else can we do. Pay the money and they will help i'm sure...hah

The nurse weighs me first up and i have only lost 3 kilos in 4 days that's no biggie, i didn't want those kilos anyway. On the bed i don't really show signs of dehydration despite fluid exiting my body at an alarming rate.

My urine is only a light yellow and the pinch test seems to suggest my fluid is up but that's only my thoughts.

Next a male nurse hooks me up to a drip, very quick and painless but the sticky tape used to hold the IV line must be the budget kind or i'm more hairy than i think i am.

Next up some painkillers to help with the cramps, shortly after the pain level drops so do my eye lids and i get a good afternoon nap.

Dia-Tabs Not working anymore

Dia-tabs the tablets you take to stop the waterworks malfunctioning. 2 tablets at first then 1 every 4 hours untill stool is firm.

It's been a few days now and they seem to have no effect. I'm going every 15min like clockwork. At this point i'm right off food too.

After going 12 times before lunch and i haven't drank that much water i should be well de-hydrated but my pee is clear so that's kind of odd. Tuesday is a write off! Back to bed.

Sick Sunday

A light shower then a very nice day is in the making but i'm not going anywhere until the dia-tabs start to work.

The unwell feeling of yesterday is now in full swing and i feel like hell. Seem like it is possible to get bali belly in Cebu!
