At the end of November I was admitted to my new hospital for a two week course of IV's.
It was my third lot of IV's this year which for me is quite a lot as most years I've not even had IV's.
I was very nervous about how the new ward and my new cf team would be while I was in for the two weeks but overall everyone was super nice and made my stay as bareable as possible.
My LF dipped up and down throughout the stay so reckon I will need some more IV's pretty soon.
They only negative thing from my hospital stay was the long line situation.
I arrived in the evening of the first day but as it was quite late my Dr (who was putting my line in) couldn't make it as he overran with another patient, so I was given a cannula in my hand which was temp until my dr was free.
However my dr never managed to be free so I eneded up having all the junior Drs trying to put long lines in my arm instead and no offence to them but they where crap.
I could tell they where putting my line in wrong each time but they wouldn't listen to me and instead left the line in half up my arm. Each time any Ivs went up my line went bright red and tracked but it wasn't until my dr came two days later that they finally took it out.
In the end I was told that I had bad veins and that I would have to live off cannulas for two weeks and as I'm scared of needles this terrified me.
My cf nurse also started talking to me about getting a port which I think I will say yes to although I'm not sure it's needed as normally my veins are always pretty good and I have a strong feeling that it was the junior Drs fault it went wrong, but as this is my new hospital I don't really have much choice as I don't want to be prodded by needles everyday.
Anyway that's about all the bad stuff that happened.
Other than that physio was the same and they managed to find things I actually enjoyed to do (exercise wise).
I spent the majority of the two weeks lying in bed watching Christmas movies and online shopping.
School did send lots of work but I barely had the energy to move so I didn't do much.
Anyway that's basically all I wanted to say about my first stay at my new hospital.
Peace love Iz x
