DulwichFox Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Foxy's Xmas.. I'm Back Home but where have I been ... Well 0n the 24th December I decided to go out for a Haircut... Nice cut at Jazz Lordship Lane..Time for some last minute Xmas Shopping.Cross the road to the Co-op.. No Baskets.. Off to M&SWhere outside I suddenly found myself 'On The Deck' I had fallen cracked my head on the road and not being able to get up... move with a broken right hip.The staff at M&S were marveloous and their First Aid Team attended to me.They called emergency services. There was The Fox lying onthe floor , head in the road inches from Passing traffic /BusesA Passing Ambulance stopped to attend to me after being flagged down by a large crowd that had gathered.I wastaken to King's where I was admitted. I spent a few nights 24-27th Decmber where I was given Doses of Morphine. I felt Dreadful and was Hallucinating Insects hanging from curtain rails and walls..Millions of themand faces from TV gathing around me. Finally at the window There was a group of Women (nurses)carrying a wreath and a large Cross.At this stage I was Covid Positive and was convinced the Angels were there to take me away,I really thought I was going to die.I had my hip op the 27th.I am mixed up with the timings of all events..But my op had gone well. Kings then decided to stop my Paracetamol Pain relief for Codeine.. As a result I become Constipated.. I was still eating (Well) but nothing was coming out, They refused to give me Paracetamol that was leading me on the route to recovery.They were giving me Laxatives and Codiene ,.... they do not work together.I fefused more Codiene and was left in AgonyBut Kings discharged me 4th Jan with eight different drug to take at different times of the day. I have created a spread sheet ,I reverted to Paracetamol my choice .. vertually pain free and have now been to the toilet ( 1 Day)Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/301007-foxys-xmas-and-new-year/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

intexasatthe moment Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Oh Foxy ,you poor thing! Constipation is the pits and such a close bedfellow with operations .As if you don't feel bad enough.Nothing compared to the morphine induced hallucinations - I was convinced I was back in the 1950s and those wall mounted anglepoise type lights morphed (see what I did there ? ) into giant crickets .Let me know if you need a hand with anything .We have met ,I got some proving baskets for sour dough .

I hope you're on the mend and the parecetamol is working its magic (at both ends)As an aside....I actually heard about your fall on Xmas eve (not knowing at teh time it was DulwichFox of EDF fame), as Mrs Cat and the mini-cats were amongst that large crowd that had gathered outside M&S. I did berate her when she finally got home, as to why it took so long to bring my percy pigs back home.....But perhaps I was touch hasty:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/301007-foxys-xmas-and-new-year/#findComment-1557864 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbiscuits Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Sorry to hear that. It is not how anyone wants to spend their xmas day, but glad you are home and feeling a bit better.Every time I've had any sort of spell in hospital, I've ended up completely "bunged up" in that region. Anesthesia and painkillers can cause it.. in fact codeine is renowned for it (and not even that effective unless combined with other painkillers), so seems like an odd choice. Less fluids and physical movement probably play a part too.

sjsl Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I do sympathise... along with the other remedies you try I recommend dried apricots and/or figs as a good snack, usually helps.

Nigello Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Psyllium husks - you can get them generically from Holland and Barrett - are good for the motions! You stir a spoonful or two in water, drink it, and follow that with another glass of water.
