| 1224527 | 2011-08-19 23:32:00 | I was in Wgtn Hospital about 40 years ago, after something went wrong and I nearly bled to death after daughter was born. I was told after two days, "You can go home if you can walk to the bathroom and back without collapsing, we are very busy and we need the bed". I went home the next day with a brand new first baby and a terrified husband. I should hope that things have improved since then! LL wow............. thats terrible........... A friend of mine had this happen at wanganui hosp a few years ago, but she didnt make the walk, so she stayed in...... apparently she was as close to dying as you can....... she was a very very sick lady.... they replace her blood amount at least twice they reckon before they got it under control.... Nomad....... with your pace maker thingy....... for some reason i always thought you were really quite young.living at home with M & D is this assumption wrong? or is it illness that keeps you there? no offence intended.... just curious. beetle |

Yes at home. Have flatted while I studied away from home, being single, I get my own space so it's ok for me, we tolerate each other, and you save money :D With the pacemaker it is fine, I can do any sports, but not real contact sports and they have pulled my wings, I like airports so I was learning to fly once. Haven't bothered to do the paperwork to get cleared yet which I think is not a biggie for personal flying. Need the money too :waughh: It was time to do a slight career shift I am a part time student :clap I was told I might have been born with a slow heart, known as bradycardia. Never had ECG scans done ever. Maybe the slow heart gave the false impression that I was too fit :lol: I had full heart block with now a dual chamber pacemaker. Think it was the Friday after work and I collapsed, bro was at home. Lost all memory from that day and a few days afterwards having woked up in a ICU ward with nothing under the sheets and a tube attached :p with a carer sitting next to me. I was not frecking out about where the heck am I but I didn't know where I was and how I got there and just took it in my stride. Spent a week there attached to a Grandpa Simpson machine and a dripper. With so much time you go for walks inside around the building rattling this machine along and my carer followed me chatted. It was a big fuss. Was told there was a fire truck, 2 ambulance and a Mitsuibishi 4WD Pajero which is the rapid response unit. *gulp*. I've now got a health card that lets me bypass metal detectors which I get a frisk search, stay away from magnetic fields and the cellphone is placed in the pants pocket. |

Better looking. .....Well two out of three ain't bad, according to Meatloaf... :D Seriously though, my stay in North Shore and Auckland hospitals around 7 years ago for my bypass disproved the media-generated perception of hospitals in NZ. The staff are amazing - and yes, the diet does reduce your waistline - not a bad thing... |
