here's a follow-up for all those who are waiting with bated breath.
I have to say that I have NEVER been so sick in all my life.
Fortuantely the doc gave me just the right stuff. Because I had survived the worst of it the night before I didn't need the injection. I believe that if I had been at home I wouldn't be out of hospital yet.
The doc gave me,
anti-diahrrial meds (SP?)
anti-biotics,
more rehdration fluids
anti nausea tabs,
and one other thing, dunno what that's for
All up it cost just under 200,000 including the doctor's consultation as well.
I have also sworn by Norrit before, but it was of NO help at at all. I was just too ill. I still cannot belive that I passed out on the bathroom floor. The really terrifying thing was that I had no idea at all who my husband was when he rescued me. That was very very scary.
Some one has posted that you only need rehydration fluids every 11 or so hours. Unfortunately that's not true. EVERY TIME YOU HAVE A MOVEMENT you have to take one, PLUS as much water as you can force down. I HATE WATER< and I probably have never ever drunk enough. Now I am trying to have a bottle with me everywhere I go.
I am extremely weak today, so please excuse any spelling errors, and feel very cold and clammy and hot all at once. But I am so very very much better than Iwas. I think that I've got off very lightly indeed.
The bum-washing spray is those little jets they have in the toilets. Bloody marvellous!!!
