A VERY NASTY FEW DAYS

Post by sargeant »

Thursday last week at approx 10 in the evening (sober) i suffered one of those "excuse me dear but does a fart have lumps in it moments"
The next 8 hours were just constant out the top or mainly out the bottom.
Absolutely no sleep and the stomach and leg cramps were unbeleivably painfull.
I got up and rushed to the downstairs khazi but before i could close the door (fortunately for me)I blacked out completely and came to with mrs sarge pulling my arm out of the socket my head splitting where i head butted the toilet pedestal of its mounting
An ambulance was called it arrived in 15 mins and 4 medics put me on a gurney and of to Hua Hin Hospital i went 3 medics holding me down due to the cramps
A doctor arrived after 35 mins apologising that they were inundated a drip was attached and an injection given which immediately stopped the cramps thank god one litre of drip was given and then a further half a litre plus another injection a small parcell of pills was also aquired the doctor wanted to keep me in but apologised they had no spare beds
I explained i was not wishing to stay anyway he explained that i had become hyper dehydrated and should have come in a lot earlier silly me

it has taken until now to get my energy levels back a warning to not let it go that far if it starts go to hospital

Total cost ambulance doctor 1.5 litres 2 injections and 4 days of tablets 672 baht service excelent under difficult circumstances for the doctor and staff Hua Hin Hospital will keep my patronage :D :D

Thanks dane but seriously though i had been of the fruit juice for a week due to flu this was something else! frightened the living crap out of mrs sarge terrified me it was so virulant and so fast and powerfull, from a wet fart to a near death experience in less than 8 hours
I think i drank some suspect water! 9 years and you cant let your guard down its so easy to do.I have flushed my bedroom fridges water dipenser and cleaned/disinfected it just in case and shall endeavour to keep it that way
I have thought of when having a slug of water at night i might just cut out the middle man and pour it on the mattress and lesson the risk :D :D

Reminds me of the time I had stomach cramps from dodgy fish I'd eaten in some thai village, it nearly had me blacking out (or rather whiting out) climbing some stairs!
Illness out here can be a killer.
