At the Hospital.

Arrived at the Hospital and managed to walk to the accident and emergency reception desk. Every step i walk my head is feels like its going to explode, my neck is so stiff i cannot rotate my head into any position, I am wretching continuously. I can remember giving my name to the receptionist and then collapsing. I am semi conscious as Andy puts me into a hospital wheelchair and takes me through to the cubicles. All the time i am shouting for people to do something about the pain in my head , my pain score is 10/10. I am still feeling very very nauseous and actually vomiting at times. I am given some morphine for the pain and some anti sickness. Andy tells me that the morphine had an strange effect on me! I was trying to climb off the trolley over the bars and my respiratory rate dipped as well. I have no recollection of this moment i am now drifting in and out of consciousness. I wake up in a C.T scanner ready for my head to be scanned, the room has bright lights with lots of people talking around me.

like a gun going off in my head.

Welcome to my blog. on july 28th 2010 my whole life was turned upside down.
just as i was going to bed i had a pain shoot through my head, i can only liken it to being shot in the head, not that i ever have been, but assume thats what its like.I vomitted and was wondering along with my partner if it was a migraine. I have never suffered from headaches before so knew this one was unusual for me. As a registered nurse i knew after sitting at home for an hour with a headache that was getting worse and constant vomitting hospital was the place to be. My partner helped me get dressed as i was barely able to. We set off to the local A&E at 12.30 am in the car. Thankfully it only took us 15 minutes to get there.
