ICU 2009 MY LIFE WAS SAVED.

June 2009 was a very bad year for Mawanda and myself.  I was on ms contin for fibromyalgia pain and I mis judged the dose and took too many. Mawanda came into the bedroom and found me unconcious and he could not wake me up. He carried me to the little old car we had and drove me to Gawler Hospital where they pronounced me dead. But a nurse felt a pulse in my finger and they worked on me again. I was rushed to to the Royal Adelaide Hospital where I was in ICU for 2 weeks. Mawanda was told I may never walk or talk again if I made it. I was in hospital for 4 weeks and came home with no effects at all. My memory was good and I could walk and talk. Mawanda saved my life. When I got home Mawanda had to tell me Maggie my little dog had died beside my bed. I was heart broken and Maggie was buried in the garden.
Then I got the swine flu in the October of 2009 and was very ill. Then end of November 2009 I broke my ankle in 3 places and was laid up, so Dembe my new puppy eat my books in the book shelve.  I then got a blood clot in my broken ankle leg and was in hospital in December 2009 to 2010. So this was a very bad year. I had a near death experience which I will tell another time. I am just so thankful to be alive.
