My stay in downtown Bancok Hilton aka St V's hospital

While I was staying at St. V's the guRL in the bed opposite me was curled up in a ball when I was put in her room. All I could see was a bit of black hair sticking out fromunder the white hospital blanket. When she emerged a day later she was doubled up in severe pain. Her name was Amanda, she was a beautiful aboriginal guRL. She had diabettes and severe constipation, a condition that lands her in here at lot. After i introduced myself I saw a flicker of a smile. We became friends. Amanda had the most beautiful 11year old guRL named Jen. Jen is stunning, tall with the most beautiful blue/green eyes and had just had her streaked blonde, She asked me if i knew 'crump' which i said yes, she then preceded to 'crump' for me, Jen was fantastic! She tells me loves Justin Bieber, but can't stand Pink and her song Get this party started. Jen has made up her own words, "stop this bloody party right now" she has me in fits of laughter with her antics. I fall immediately in love with her. Jen is on FB with her mum. Jen likes boxig and would love a pair of hot pink Everlast boxing gloves. Second night and Jen's mum Amanda is in severe pain and can't sleep. Now I have been in at St V's in November and learn't the hard way that if you bring in your own prescribed Zanex they lock it up in their vault and won't give them back till you leave. So this time I hid them in a secet part of my bag. I'm feeling sorry for Amanda because she can't get a good nights sleep. So I offer her one of my Zanex. I thought this would be okay, but I didn;t take into account that Amanda is not used to Zanex. She takes it and goes to sleep. Now I'm awake because they have to put my midnight feed of IV antibiotics in. Nursey is trying to wake up Jen so she can test her finger for her insulen levels, and nursey can't wake Amanda up, now I'm getting worried that I have killed her. More nurses arrive and can't wake Amanda. I pass out from taking my usual 2 zaex plus the 2 the nurses have given me. I can't avoid the nurses dose as they stand in front of me while I take them. Next morning nursey wkes me up for my 0600 feed of antibiotics. Bloody hell Amanda is sill asleep. I'm freaking out, 2 hours later more nurses are trying to wake her, saying well at least she is getting some sleep at last. At 0900 Amanda is moving and trys to sit up, I'm soo happy I haven't killed her. She is totally still out of it. I tell her to get the fcuk up and move around because she has scared me half to death. The nurses come in and help her to the toilet, because because Amanda has slept like the dead she has gone to the toilet in her bed and slept in it all night. What a mess I have created, literally.

  1. I'm writing here because I don't know how to get into my blog to write it their. Continuation of my stay at St V's. Having given Amanda one of my Zanex, during the night, she has shit in her pants and bed while still asleep. The nurses have got her up twice to change her bed and wash her off in the bathroom. Amanda has no memory of any of this. When she eventually woke up the next morning, her face was priceless. She sits up in bed with her face all scrunched up and says, WTF and reaches her hand down to her knickers and says why am I all wet, she has pissed herself this time. I tell her about the night before and she doesen't believe me. Nursey comes in and helps her to the bathroom for the 3rd time. She is put back in bed and sleeps till noon. Now before this happened, the old guy in the bed next to me can't sleep for two nights, so I offer him a Zanex, he says, oh I already have some sleeping pills that my son bought in so he takes them and gets no sleep again. If I hadn't given Amanda her Zanex that night and found out the hard way that you can't give yourprescription meds to anyone but yourself,I might have killed the old guy.
