I have posted this to let people know where I am!
I have copy & pasted this same from somersoft and not changed a lot as I’m not got a lot of energy for a new writting post.
Hi Everyone,
I injured myself in an event that occurred in Bundaberg which resulted in two severe fractures of the, ‘ACETABULUM’ if your up with Doctors talk? Basically in short ‘The Old Pelvis Is Broken’ at 36 it’s very young to happen Doctors say. It’s usually in your sixties seventies that generally might encounter this if it’s going to happen.The service in the hospital, care and professionalism is just so amazing that is hard for one to describe.
I have been in Traction with a ten pound weight 10 days approximately, flown (as decided upon arrival) at Bundaberg Base! Via Flying Doctors Service to Princess Alexandra Hospital Brisbane on the 10th February for a specialist Doctor and specialized operation and now await my return to Bunbagerg Base Hospital again with transportation via Ambulance then Flying Doctors Service to further nurse my wounds and begin the journey of re-habilitation. Estimating a further month and a half from now till I will able to think about considering leaving Hospital. I have not walked for 17 days.
OK QUICK NEWS FLASH “Bill Bitten, the Golfer has just arrived to a Hospital bed, looks like he is going to be in my stable [Looks like we will be stable mates], just wheeled out of theater, if your in the golf circle apparently he is pretty well known. I don’t know him from a bar of soup I just meet him. He has been in a battle with a snake at Browns Planes Brisbane and come off second best getting a fright and breaking his right wrist severely.
If Bundaberg had a bad reputation to try and fix I want to say that every possible detail and the care being administered by the nurses and staff all down the line has been nothing short of totally professional and of the highest standard achievable within their budget I imagine.
One dark shadow or omen on the Hospital should not condemn it, as being a bad reputation it was one bad person in a basket.
I look forward to catching up have only just received an Internet connection today to my bedside table.
There has been that many Needles, Tests, Nurses, Doctors, Cleaners, Deliveries via hospital bed to X-ray, CV Scans, Flying Via Plane in Hospital Stretchers, Moving via Ambulance, Physiotherapists, Chaplin, Tears and pain that it is not funny but with the drugs that have been administered to ease the discomfort, at times it is the closest thing to going to Heaven.
It’s times like this that you realize that there are systems in place that really take care of you I have literally been incapacitated to that of a helpless baby in a cot again.
I just want to express in here how much appreciation I have for all the staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital Brisbane and Bundaberg Base. I could never understand why people wanted to raise money for Charity when they we’re put in a situation. Though I always wanted to for the Homeless. Now I can see why in other instances, “like the respected and late Kerry Packer providing heart monitors for all Ambulances Across Australia†I was think it was. When I was personally involved I was deafenently inspired and want to raise money for Charity for the Bundaberg Flying Doctors one day when I can.
The Pilot had a chat to me about how they are constantly struggling and how some are having to take on the role of Engineer on days when the Engineer is not working and other areas down the line within the system, they are just kind of getting by.
If anyone would like to visit me in Brisbane over the next two days please do, I estimate that Doctors will arrange that I fly back to Bundaberg, Sunday 18th sometime. I have no Family up here in Brisbane all my Family is down in Victoria. Even in these strange circumstances it would be good to meet fellow Investors. Just ask for Daniel Cameron, WARD: 2B Orthopedic DIRECTIONS: Go to main entrance, take the Blue lifts to second story and then a left then right.
It’s times like this that makes me think. Money Means Nothing To Me.

Sorry to hear that you are in the wars mate. Must be very frustrating being all tractioned up like that with your # Acetabulum. I just did a stint on the orthopedic ward @ Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Perth as a nursing student so I can empathise with your plight. Certainly doesn’t help when your family is so far away. I would definately recommend paying for the t.v. if you are in a public hospital – a good prescription to help avoid insanity! Would come and say g’day if I was in your part of the country. I hope you get yourself back on track soon.
Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery,

Drop up anyone if you want, I’m flying high on morphine but very coherant etc actaully talking more then I ever did.
Thanks for your well wishes.
Hope you get better soon Jaffasoft. In North West vic so a bit far away for a visit but if you get bored and want some amusing email attachments to waste some time over send me a PM and I forward some to you. May be even funnier on morphine??

Morphine editted
Hope you get well soon Jaffa
Re: Morphine, I took a friend to hospital after he’d been *hit* by an irikanjii (spelling??) jellyfish and they wound up putting him on Morphine as pethodine only takes the edge off this sting in a minimal way
Anyway, on Morphine he said it was great especially when he started floating off the bed towards the roof
Bad times came when the oxygen hoses etc all turned into snakes and attacked him
He described the pain of the irikanjii in this manner; “imagine you are lying on the ground being kicked to death by a group of Bikies and then one up them puts his hand up your rear and pulls out your spine”
very descriptive and I felt somewhat true when i eventually got *hit* by one some years later and only had pethodine and largactol to take the edge off being to far away from hospitals

“He described the pain of the irikanjii in this manner; “imagine you are lying on the ground being kicked to death by a group of Bikies and then one up them puts his hand up your rear and pulls out your spine” Feel sorry for him extraordinary…life is so delicate. We are continually fighting to stay alive i.e. The Bodies Internal mechanisms to stay alive.
I know I’m getting in dept and going into to some bizarre thoughts on the Morphine. It is sometimes like now, floating on a beautiful fluffy white cloud big comfortable pillows and a specially sent posturepeadic bed that slowly slight ocean roll ripples to slowly keep blood moving through my body to prevent any possible blood clots through the legs.
That might all sound good but you are so comfortable you are unsure who what you are floating on an unsecurity (that’s not a word but I just made it one) blanket up amongst the clouds, then the pain can start going through your leg and you get distressed and the leg can become dead and all numb and the nerves are fixing themselves while healing and your bussing out nurse come with Morphine.
Life’s not like it was when I was on the ground running enjoying life and having fun, I’m in another dimension.
They now got me a Morphine substitute, which also does not constipate the patient slow release and fast release combination through-out the day at different times, the nurses amongst us might be able to explain the effects the tablets are having.
I went through the nightmares of it I thought people we’re coming and taking me away when new arrival trolley’s were wheeling in about midnight with paramedic’s floating around my bed.
very descriptive Thankyou and I felt somewhat true when I eventually got *hit* by one some years later and only had pethodine and largactol to take the edge off being to far away from hospitalsMy God Redwing, I remember floating around by myself with some very dangerous stingers off the coast of Cairns on Fitzroy Island, Chopper was flying someone out of the water not far away from where I was Snorkeling, enjoying the coral & fish. I got out of the water quick after that, considering I did not know they we’re in there the whole 5 hours I was plodding about.
That’s what you would have needed Redwing a Chopper! Sorry to here about that, being left with no painkillers to stop the pain adequately it must have been very painful and probably more scary.
Take care of your selves everyone, we are very delicate.

I meant the effect of the pain killers.

Julie

Was that dyslexia? Is that the problem that I hsve and you have recognized that I have it?
What experience have you had with anyone other that that has this disability?

That’s a shame! Maybe an ad’ in the paper with a photo? Someone may have found her and decided to keep her?
My nephew has dyslexia but his is genetic and permanent (doesn’t stop him from achieving anything I assure you), whereas yours was painkiller induced and only short-term…lol.
Hope Roada turns up eventually.
