phase 2


Phase 2 is the operation, I arrived in to the royal and all was well got my bay slept fairly well and next morning I went in to surgery, next thing I remember properly I was back in my room, all seemed to go pretty well no issues and wasn't in any pain but I was probably still all doped up.

Come 6pm this ass changed chest started to get quite sore and was just getting gradually worse and worse during the night and next day, they kept increasing the strength of the pain killers I was getting but it only ever took the edge of it off.

The surgeon came in and was chatting about the procedure and said he was going for one lesion but wasn't overly keep on it so changed his mind to go for another so had to make a slightly larger incision for which was grand as long as he got a better sample.

He also remarked about the pain that I was in agony as each time I coughed the heart rate jumped up further than "normal" it was almost delayed as my heart rate was sitting about 130 in the preassesment but the biopsy needed done. And so he wanted stronger pain relief for me and explained that the anesthetic block mustn't have worked and no wonder I'm in pain.

Next thing to go wrong as there always is for me is when I woke up was having a fever and heart rate was high so, (this is all fairly normal for me in the mornings and has been for a few months) there was a mad panic and they ran a load of tests and moved me into a ward so they could keep a better eye on me.

While in the ward this continued and with the fevers I was getting very delusional but thankfully paracetamol settles them. One morning I had a complete coughing fit and couldn't stop this done something to me and the pain I thought I was in before just seemed like an itch in comparison, it was constant all day but finally settling. After a few days I was moved back to my own bay, fevers continued, coughing also but they had now come to realise this was all normal for me.

One final major thing happened here, I had my operation on my right lung but one morning I woke up and I was in pain with my left lung and getting referred pain in my shoulders and throat, nothing eased it at all no matter what I took but then going to bed that night I managed to get to sleep and the next day I was fine, I couldn't understand it but I wasn't complaining it was away.

And so the conclusion to the phase 2, phase 3 the biopsy result....
