The Kevin Saga Part 2

Bob hasn't been well since his asthma attack after spending all day with the shakes yesterday, today he called in sick and zonked out and spent the day in bed.

When Kevin eventually woke i wasn't at all happy with the look of him
His left eye had swollen so much he couldn't open it
His sight was blurry and he was confused.
He was drowsy and had weakness in his arms and left hand.
He had a perpetual headache.
Was still coughing up blood.
His mouth was sore and his jaw swollen so he couldn't swallow.
Numbness in knee, shoulder, hand and face.
Difficulty breathing

I have been giving him Paracetamol and Codeine effervescent tablets
Arnica tablets
Applying arnica cream




I asked Debbie to go and have a look and see what she thought, she said need to ring up Doctors, so I did, they said go back to A and E, so I rang A and E who told me to take him in.

So up to A and E we went and got there about 12 noon, then after seeing the triage nurse we we waited and waited and waited for about 2.5 hours.

Then we were shown into a lovely Doctor we spent about 20 mins and he gave him a thorough check up, then we were sent to get a CT Scan

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging method employing tomography created by computer processing.^[1] Digital geometry processing is used to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of an object from a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken around a single axis of rotation.^[2]

 CT scanning of the head is typically used to detect infarction, tumours, calcifications, haemorrhage and bone trauma. Of the above, hypodense (dark) structures indicate infarction or tumours, hyperdense (bright) structures indicate calcifications and haemorrhage and bone trauma can be seen as disjunction in bone windows.

But first we had to wait again.

Kevin was pushed in a wheelchair by porter Russell who goes to my church.

After the CT Scan we had to wait again and again for the results.

When the results came back, he had no brain injury, luckily, but there was fluid on the Sinus's which were causing some of the problems, like coughing up blood, headache, and blurred vision.

This could be possibly a symptom of a fractured nose and he has an appointment with the ENT clinic next wednesday to check this out.

Kevin does seem a bit better now, so hopefully on the mend.  However, Kevin still has no memory of events.
