My retarded brother was hospitalised on Tuesday with a urinary tract infection. He was put on an antibiotic drip overnight & supposed to go back to his shared house the next day.
But he clearly remembers something bad happening the last time he was there two years ago for a hernia operation. He pulled the drip out when unsupervised on Tuesday night.
And kept pulling it out during the next day. The poor fella can't speak to express his frustration, only has grunts, squeals & gesticulations.
Then last night, (Wednesday) he refused to go to bed, insisting on fitful sleep on a chair. At least he now has a nurse in the room all the time to make sure there's no more mishaps. I don't know how he's managing because you can't explain complicated things to him, things like consequences of drip removal. I just want him to be OK. It's his 56th birthday on Sunday & his carers & housemates hope to have a small party for him on Saturday.
I've found a buter for my Lumia 1020: my sister broke the screen of her Lumia 530 and as she uses the mobile phone as her sole point of contact away from work, a replacement is desired, preferably one where she doesn't have to relearn the usage.
She claims it was her dog that broke the phone when it was playing with the cloth bag it was in.
@matigo maybe so. But it's more important now to keep nasty things out of tender spot now that the blister can't provide the protection. Very little pain though.
@matigo Bumped the blister & the horrid thing burst. I was hoping for a couple more days before that happened.
The pumpkin soup was a hit with the other committee members. And I still have half the brew remaining. That's lunch for the next few days sorted.
20-odd years ago, later at night, in supermarkets a contractor would be sweeping the aisles using a sweeper-vac thing with a pertol engine powered by liquified petroleum gas.
Nowadays an employee uses a battery-driven machine of the same size.
@sumudu the pain has gone, the sole treatment being 30 minutes immersion in cold running water. I'm OK.
Splashed hot oil onto my right (onscreen typing) finger last night. Much painfulness! Initially I held it under cold running water for five minutes, this eased the pain considerably. But it kept me beside a water tap.
I have a battery-powered wine bottle chiller that circulates cold water via a pump in its base, so I shoved my hand into that for about 20 minutes in two ten minute spells.
There's a blister there now, which wasn't evident before the water treatment. Seven hours after the event, all pain has gone. Much relief, it was quite agonising for a bit.
Dinner was a big cup (3 ladles) of the pumpkin soup I made today. I'm pleased at how it turned out, it could have been sweeter with more of the Kent variety & less Queensland Blue, but the flavour would be less intense.
Just learned my 56-yr-old mentally-retarded brother is in hospital with an unspecified urinary tract infection. His carers say he'll be kept in overnight on an antibiotic drip. Neither his carers nor myself have motified Mum, she'd just worry herself into a frightful state & we don't need that.
