GOOD NEWS DAD HAS JUST TEXT ME , HES ALL READY TO GO FOR HIS MRI !!!!!!!!!!!! Woo woo
He is being sick everywhere but that’s nerves hurry up patient transport !!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck Dad, I know it’ll go really well.
Have a cuppa Disneyland
Relax
I’ll try but what I was thinking is when he’s gone with mum in ambulance I was going to go and strip his bed and put fresh on , even though I want them to keep him in there , not to be cruel but for his health and best interest , If they find spinal cord compression he will possibly have to stay
I don’t no how it works
I hope your mum is able to stand up to your Dad and the clinicians if there’s any questions about what happens next.
treatment will come after the mri for sure but it may be days away or minutes away depending on the situation.
if it’s bad compression they might keep him in but that would depend on the mri.
If there’s a specialist doctor that is ready and waiting for your dads mri to give his opinion then you may have action today.
But I’d make up a new bed and clean any areas you can get to while he’s there.
its not much, I was sent home with pills (steroids) and given a call to see how the pain was a few days later.
Be ready for disappointment but hope for all the best things that you want to happen.
Tell us how it goes, eventually.
Relax for now.
Did the steroids help , If you don’t mind me asking ?? He’s on nothing apart from morphine as and when I want something that’s going to make him eat aswell that’s a big issue at the moment no wonder he is weak
mums rang me he’s being sick but that’s eveytime he has to do something he spews
