Marks body revolts

They've decided Mark has a bladder infection which has spread to the tubes of his testicles. Thank god the poor guy can't feel anything because he would be in excruciating pain. Because his body can't feel the normal pain, it manifests itself in other ways which for Mark seems to be shivering and muscle spasms. His body has been in spasms all day which has resulted in his neck and shoulders being in lots of pain. He's had a temperature and felt nauseous all day. This morning he was given something to take away the nauseousness but when he asked for another this evening, he was told there was no record of what he had so they couldn't give him another. Yet again another example of lack of communication between Doctors and Nurses, it's sooooo frustrating. He also mentioned this evening that last Friday his Consultant said he should be on Vitamin tablets, but his nurses know nothing about it because it's not documented - it's enough to make you scream! He's also had his limit of pain killers today so is worried about how he's going to get through the night. On top of all that, he's not eaten all day which is not good for him.

We were supposed to have a Case Conference tomorrow, which includes us, Consultant, Doctor, Nurses, OT, Physio and Liasion Officer, however it's unlikely to go ahead unless Mark is feeling a whole lot better. On top of feeling really poorly, Mark is frustrated that's his rehab is being interrupted. Here's hoping he's feeling a lot better tomorrow once the new antibiotics kick in.
