Oh gosh , the more I read the more terrifying it gets. This is what nightmares are made of. It must have been so difficult for your mum , and Kim. I can’t believe your heart rate was so low, that’s so scary. I hope it helps you to write about it all and make sense of it somehow.
It was incredibly hard for them. Reading the book still makes Kim cry and Mum can't read it at all. It has helped me so much writing it all down and it's only been by going through my medical journal a couple of times that I've truly understood what happened to me and just how close I got to not making it.
Wow Jacqui! This is definitely the terrifying low point of your illness/ ordeal. Sliding doors moments and hallucinations plus overwhelming exhaustion, claustrophobia, fear of ICU and staff!! All those possible withdrawal symptoms from fentanyl that my son describes after back surgery when he was recovering from having been on the highest dose. You were so close to not making it ! - flatlining. You describe it very well. I have felt every minute !
Thanks Sue and interesting that your son said the same. I hope I never have to take that drug ever again! There is definitely some more humour coming up in the next couple of posts so I promise they won't be as dark. 😎
