Rob asked me to post this.
Rob asked me to post this. He says having to go to as hospital sucks, but the hospital is being very good. Waiting in the dark waiting for the stematol to work.
I'm home and going to sleep. More news in the morning. Rob was left feeling better from the drugs - able to open his eyes and even sit up - and with the call button near his hand.
Rob has been discharged and is home, resting. Looks like it was viral labyrinthitis with severe effects of vertigo. And they never gave him a coffee. (!) He's very glad to be home but needs to work on his balance etc still. He has excercises for it.
"The infections that cause vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis may resolve without treatment within a few weeks" ... They say it is important to keep plugging away at the exercises. Bummer ...
So, Vanessa's had it, Pamela Smith has had it, Elaine Walker has had it, one of the Glendalough neighbours has had it - and none of them has liked it one bit. Rob slept well last night, is a bit brighter and is tracking better. He even was able to look at his phone for a little bit.
Oh dear. Poor Robert. We should have taken him to hospital earlier.
ReplyDeleteI hope robs feeling better
ReplyDeleteWe could not move him earlier. He is lying down and waiting for the CT. In obs now.
ReplyDeleteFeeling a bit better yay stematol.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for stemetol! Hope heś feeling better.
ReplyDeleteWheeled off to the scan. I am to wait here in observation and they will bring him back.
ReplyDeletebest of luck I hope it gets resolved quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt is most probably viral labyrinthitis but they are checking for other causes.
ReplyDeleteHe is back from CT and the drugs are making him feel better.
ReplyDeleteHe thanks you all for your good wishes.
ReplyDeleteI hope it isn't anything serious. Viral labyrinthitis = balance problems and nausea? Stemetil is an anti-nausea agent. Hope he makes a clean recovery.
ReplyDeleteHa, severe balance problems and throwing up if he opens his eyes.
ReplyDeleteOr moves.
ReplyDeleteSounds like what Vanessa got with her vertigo. That was really nasty. Hospital is definitely the best place for him. Good luck

ReplyDeleteIt can really shake you up, don't rush it the recovery.

ReplyDeleteI was never given any exercises - I was just told there was nothing to be done but ride it out. Glad to hear he's back home.
ReplyDeleteHe's sleeping pretty hard. Right through a phone conversation between Mum and Telstra on Speakerphone.
ReplyDeleteVery simple exercises, fortunately.

ReplyDeleteDont go out into strong wind with uncovered ears either, well not until you have fully recovered.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning Garry Winterton
ReplyDeleteMind you it was quite a while ago.
