Back at RVI

So I went in to the RVI in May for a routine (if such a thing exists) operation.  I think it was the 11th that I was booked for.  All went really well and I was in and out within 2 days.  Yes really amazingly just 2 days.  Wow, all good.  I remember as my sister Rebecca came to visit me and all seemed well.  I had been in from Tuesday til Thursday I think.  Becksie came to stay the following weekend and I was tip top.  It was Eurovision weekend and we had a party on the Saturday evening to celebrate.  Great fun, eating tea on the floor!  What a good laugh.  And all seemed well for a couple of weeks, but sadly things did take a downhill dive!

I had been getting a headache and been calling the hospital asking about options.  They eventually came back to say that the removal had been radio-narcrossis, which needed removing, but wasn't dangerous.  The best bit of news was that there was no need for any follow up after the operation.  So why did I have a bad head?  I pushed hard but was told not to worry, so I went out to a gig at the pub up the hill.  Well you do when they say don't worry don't you?  Well I did anyway!!  All seemed good and we'd been to see a band that I know, gave them a hand with the load out and ot dropped at home at 1.30am!   Like I said, all seemed good and I went to bed around 1.30am but was rudely awoken at 2.30am with a massive headache and a huge swelling on my head!  Wow that was sore and had come from NOWHERE!  I had to wake the wife and tell her.  She was pretty distressed and we decided to wait until first light to call the hospital ward.  They were very kind and asked me to come in ASAP, which we did.  And 3.5 weeks later I am still there!!  So what happened?
