I had an ambulance ride on Friday!

Yep, I had a little ride in an ambulance at 2.30pm on friday. Fear not though, I wasn't knocked off my bike!

I had a romantic night booked for my girlfriends birthday. An exxie room at the Hyatt, with gold seats to Wicked the stage show! I arrived at 2.00pm to check in and go down and pick up the tickets I had prebooked and prepaid! I checked in, went up to the room and then collapsed on the bathroom floor in screaming pain!! The ambo's arrived, gave me two shots of morphein and dragged me to St Vincents. St Vincents were kind enough to then give me some more morphein! They then took two lots of blood (the first lot the lab clotted it?) Then X-rays. By this time, we had missed Wicked!


At this stage, it looks like I have gall stones!! For those who don't know, I have a knackered pancreas and it looks as though this has contributed to it. Those who have had friends or relatives go through this, or perhaps those who are in the medical profession will know exactly what I am going through right now. PAIN!!! I am once again on some pretty heavy duty pain killers to try and get me through this week. An ultrasound is booked for Friday when I get back to Melbourne (away with work again) and most likely I will be in horspiddle a few days later, either removing the stones or removing the gall bladder!

Glad that your alright strika asked for another shot of morphine for me

Geez, Marty - you can't take a trick ! Glad you now have a good support person to help you get through the drama. Best of luck with your op. Keep smiling, mate.

speeeeeuwn bout the show and the room strika.

i can relate to the pain though, i had kidney stones about six months ago

and all i can say is "THANK GOD FOR MORPHINE".

dont know if the pain is the same as gall stones but as far as im concerned , kidney stones would have to be up there with
child birth or worse.

so mate i feel your pain and sympathise.

bugger mate!!!

my cousin just had hers out this week...

hope u get it sorted soon mate...

Sorry to hear Marty, heal up soon mate.

Awww that sux Marty!
I hope all goes well with the tests and you are out of pain very soon!
Not that I've ever had it, but I have seen the ambo's give people morphein and wished I was the patient lol
So I hope you get more of that when and if you need it !

Get well soon and be good to yourself. My fingers are crossed that all is good for you hey!

Bugga Marty, hope the treatment goes ok for you

That's not good mate. If there's anything we can do you know where to find me.

not good mate! I bet you are loving morphine right now! hope the op happens soon

Crap Marty, what a year for you!

Good luck- thinking of you.

That sucks Marty,good luck and hope your all good soon.Just as well we went for a ride thursday imagine that going on through reefton

Toughen up princess.

My sister in laws husband had it, and she commented that he nearly looked like he was in as much pain as she was when she gave birth.

Having said that, I've seen a child being born, and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. Get well soon.

Shit that's no good mate.

Hope you get it sorted.

Looks like a major drama there. Get well soon Marty!

What's morpheine like? I suppose you're still concious?
