Yep, two more to add to the collection…sick notes, that is. I realised this morning that I’d forgotten to send my initial sick note from the hospital into work…duh! And now I have another one to add to the collection as well – another two weeks from next Monday. Just finished photocopying them before I [...]

Finding myself with a few minutes to spare tonight, I happened to chance upon one of those online personality test things. Usually they’re utter crap, but as I wasn’t doing particularly much else, and the results of the US elections haven’t started coming in yet, I thought, “What the hell!”
This is what it said about [...]

Not a bad day again yesterday. A bit of a headache, but mainly headache free. This morning though I woke up with the typical IIH morning headache, which panicked me a bit, though that may have been because I slept in late (10.30! It’s almost unheard of for me to sleep that late unless I’m [...]

Damn! I forgot to say “white rabbits” this morning! I’ll probably be visited by a plague of locusts or such like now! I really must put a note on my PDA to remind me!

Well, the results I’ve been getting this week from my little INR machine have been somewhat different from the lab results that have been coming back from the district nurse checking my INR using a venous sample, as opposed to the capillary sample the machine uses. The result I got on Tuesday was 1.4 and [...]

Well the district nurse came early this morning (before 10am) to take a blood sample to check my INR, so the sample should go off in the first collection to the hospital at lunch time, and I should get the result back this afternoon all being well. I tried to do a test myself just [...]

Well today I managed to sleep in until 10am! That’s almost unheard of, even when I’m in my usual state of health. Initially I did wake up at around 6.30am, largely I suspect because I forgot to take my strong painkillers last night, and just took my usual bedtime ones. I didn’t think I’d get [...]

Well, all in all I’m not feeling too bad. In fact, considering everything I’d even go so far as to say that for this stage in the game, I’m feeling pretty damned good.
I spent most of Sunday after I got home dozing on and off, and a fair amount of yesterday either dozing or watching [...]

*** WARNING *** CONTAINS PHOTOS OF MY MOST RECENT “WAR WOUNDS” ***
Well, after much drama and waiting for news, I finally made it into hospital and on Friday had the revision of my VP shunt. It turned out that the existing ventricular catheter (which is blocked and no longer works) was rather firmly attached to [...]

Well, I should be in the hospital by now getting drained of blood and having allsorts of tests and stuff (I was supposed to be there for 10am this morning), but I’m still here.
Phoned this morning at 8.30 to check they’d got a bed for me, as per the usual instructions, [...]

Hi, and welcome to NeonBlue Dreams. I'm Rachel, and so is my alter-ego Bliss; I'm ambidextrous like that. If you count Fallen Angel and Celestia there's even more of me! Collectively we're web developers and sometime writers, when we're not doing the boring stuff that pays the bills full time. These are our assorted ramblings.
