As some of you may know I had a problem with my eye at Lincoln, actually I believe some were even concerned and we had some great support off funsters (of course) for which I will alway be grateful.
I say I had a problem, the truth being that my right eye would not stay open and I foolishly drove down to Lincoln thinking that it would get better (ever the optimist) with hindsight of course this was a foolish thing to do but I was blaming it all on a new glasses prescription.
On Friday morning I spoke to my optician back home and she assured me that it was nothing to with the glasses and I needed to see an optician in Lincoln or go to A&E proto, well the optician did a full eye check and said the eyes were OK the prescription a bit strong but I should go to A&E so like a good boy we walked up the steep hill to Lincoln County hospital. I will now cut a very long story short but after a chest X-ray and CT scan on my head and over 28 hours sat in a chair in the waiting area, well less about 7 hours on a drip when I passed out but that's another story, so I eventually signed my self discharge papers and got back to the showground at around 10pm Saturday night
and then oh bugger I still had a cannula in but the onsite medics sorted that out.
So we cut and ran yesterday with me starting off the driving on the A15 and then Jen jumped in at the deep end and drove us home
Wendo55 you were right she loved it, well most of it.
So today I got an emergency appointment with a doctor back home and by 2pm we were in our local James Cook A&E department the nurse in triage couldn't believe the Lincoln story and said something along the lines of let's try to be better than that, in about 20 minutes we were in the stroke unit with the top man who didn't think it was a stroke but arranged an MRI to confirm, it wasn't and he guessed an auto immune thing called MG Myasthenia Gravis was affecting the muscles to both eye lids, many of you may know MG from Katies trials and tribulations, a neurologist came into the room and did some more tests and talked about treatment and prescribed something unpronounceable and we were out by just gone 6 pm, WOW.
I actually read the instructions for the tablet and it said a result in 30-60 minutes
well bugger me it worked in 60 minutes, what a relief as I have had some pretty dark moment when I thought we might have to look at PVC's
if I couldn't drive over 3500kg.
Thanks to everybody for their concern and offers of assistance and I can confirm that we will be back in a field soon but not Malvern sadly.
The NHS at it's best and possibly not so good shall we say.
