3 Months off Work

HI all….

Well yes in the start of October I went through another meltdown and things where looking preity grim, I started having bad thoughts and very strange dreams again so as you could imagine no sleep for me.

I found that I had some issue with bloody coming out of areas that it should not have been and so of to the doctor i went for ultrasounds, blood tests and anything else they could do.

After all the test all come back fine and no problems? this was strange and a mystery to every one, then it happened.

I woke up at 4 am one morning and felt a sharp pain in the stomach so I went to sit on the toilet, as I was sitting there I could fell that my head was feeling dizzy so i brassed my self on the walls trying to stay focused, well i closed my eyes for what seemed like a micro second and opened them again and found my self on the ground with an egg the size of a small bread butter plate (to this date 6 weeks late rs has still resided but not gone) and calling out for my wife for help, see I had been knocked out for over 1.5 hours and had really got myself in a state of unrest, I proceeded to have a shower to help cool my body down and then made my way back to the bed room and straight into bed.

I lied there for a few hours as I could not walk or stand, so rest was the only option.

At about 9am the room started to spin and I had no control over the spinning, so it was at this stage I called the hospital and got an ambulance down to the house, when the ambulance driver arrived I thing he thought I had been drinking or something as he did not belive my story? when stable the driver even mad me walk to the ambulance by my self and also just sit in the rear chair holding on so i did not fall over? what a joke but hey that makes for a whole new story, afterarriving at the hospital with my son, the doctor and nurse where very nice and placed my head in a brace and a iv drip in my arm to get fluids into myself, at this point my son got scared and started to cry seeing me like this and blood coming from my arm out of the drip, the doctor stabilized me and then sent me of for a cat scan of the head to see if i had any internal swelling or bleeding but all come back fine, bye this time my wife arrived with my daughter and setting my son down all was good, I was released after around 4 hours and sent home to rest.

Over the next week i had numerous doctors and specialist appointments and got the all clear, the doctor thought it was a diseased heart so I even had ultra sounds on that but all was good.

Now 6 weeks on from the fall I still fell dizzy when standing and still have a small lump on the head but Hy all is ok and hopefully I will be back at work very soon…..

Working again full time

Well hello every one it has been a very long time between posts, for this I am very sorry.

I have been working very hard at getting my health better for work at the local Hospital, since I have started I have now moved into a position I was after when I first started at the hospital as a supply officer, do not get me wrong I loved working in the kithcen but the oportunity came up and I grabed it with both hands.

The family and I are going cruising alone great, we have moved from the Esplanade and now in a lovely house just down the road from work, so very easy for me to ride the scooter to work now.

Well I  have to go now and put kids to bed and so forth, so I will talk to you all soon.

Cheers

Bipolar – NEW JOB

Hi all,

Yes that is right a NEW JOB! the reason i have not been writing over the past three weeks is that I now have a new job in the local hospital working for Queensland health.

The time felt right to start back at work with just some casual work so I typed up my resume and took it in to the local hospital just to see what might become of it, with two days I had a call asking me if I was still looking for work and if so would I be interested in a possition with the Queensland Government in Queensland Health?

I could not refuse so I went in for the 1 hour long interview and another 24 hours later I got news I had the job :-)

The job is great and the people are great, most of them are so friendly and nice.

Anyways not to much tonight I am on a few days of work and about to move soon into my new house so I will catch you all later and hope you all are well
