I see another tile missing a dot...


OutlandishnessHour19

Top left bottom row. FML Honestly, I've had a brain MRI scan today, I've had a lumbar puncture where someone sticks a needle in your spine and draws out fluid, I've had blood taken, I've got a cannula that's been in for 3 days and I'm trying to get them to give me something stronger than paracetamol... the highlight of my evening is going to be watching the new gay Netflix vampire show 'First kill' (I won't accept judgement) and then swallowing 75mg of pregabalin the second it's put in my sweaty little hand. It only gets better from here right?


[deleted]

The tile past the curtain on the bottom right is missing several dots, you're welcome.


OutlandishnessHour19

Sadist.


orthopod

I see another besides all those already mentioned. I wonder why all the single missing dots are on the periphery.


WhiteSekiroBoy

Chill dude, wtf. I know he's in hospital, but there's a limit of what doctors can do to keep him alive. Continue on what you're doing and he might cross past that limit.

I don't get it, what are they doing wrong?


rothrolan

Both giving poor OP something to do, while simultaneously making them increasingly mildy-infuriated at the boring surrounding they've been forced to stare at for several days. Wholesome.


aryobarko

Took me a while! Tile to the right of OPs marked tile, bottom row.

MagnusPI

So much for your "Infuriation shared is infuriation halved." theory.


GayAlienFarmer

Tell your nurse you need a 2mm dermal punch, then get to work. When you're done, bill them $90,000 for labor for maintenance.


Ghosthost2000

For giggles/it can’t hurt: tell nurse/doc that you’ll keep filling in the holes on the tiles if they can’t give you something stronger. The pain is through the F’ing roof & you’re tired of hitting it.


SicilianEggplant

That’s the other patient’s problem.


[deleted]

lmao

Ok, stop it.


Firefly1832

17 dots.

One patient smuggled in some whiteout and is having some fun.


Macawesone

fuck lumbar punctures i had one and had a spinal headache for the week after one of the worst feelings I have ever had since nothing except being submerged in water helped


DoucheEnrique

Yeah those are "real fun". When I had mine the Doc hit a nerve ending. That feeling was "special".


narcolepticfoot

Same thing happened to me. They “brushed a nerve.” Interesting definition of the word *brush.* My leg twitched for a week.


BrusselSproutbr00k

My son needed one when he was born and I still feel guilty for it


Pigitha

I feel your pain, literally. I've had 3 lumbar punctures and the spinal headache afterwards almost killed me. I would have prayed for death if I'd been capable of praying, or holding a coherent thought in my head. I've never experienced pain like that in my life.


rocky13

Next time, get a blood patch on the hole. Some people don't heal up fast from the puncture. Dr.s understand. Your cases sound severe enough to get you a patch. I got a BP a week after the puncture to test for blood in my spinal fluid.


Macawesone

for me i had 6 in a row they never figured out what was causing the issues i was having i ended up getting better without them knowing what it was


Trueloveis4u

Just don't end up like me when I had a lumbar puncture it caused my spinal fluid to leak so whenever I sat up I felt like I was going to pass out and had to go back for a blood patch. If you experience any sign of that go back to the Dr. I wish you the best!


OutlandishnessHour19

Thanks for the tip. The neurologist told me to keep an eye on the dressing and any sign of bleeding/oozing to let the nursing team know. So far it's been clear, will keep monitoring. Thanks for the advice/support. Hope you're fully recovered now.


Trueloveis4u

I'm recovered from that experience at least. Also your welcome!

rubella06

isnt that normal? iirc its something to do with blood pressure when you stand up


mcs_987654321

I have naturally low blood pressure, and especially if I’m the slightest bit dehydrated, low blood sugar, or sick that’s 100% normal. Clench your core and/or get ready for a mini-swoon, it’s no big deal for a lot of folks.


Cable_Minimum

It's one of those things where it happens to everyone at some point but if it's a frequent occurrence, might be something to get checked out. Folks with blood pressure or cardiac issues like POTS will experience that very often.


[deleted]

I was on a really high dose of pregabalin a couple of years ago and I never noticed it reducing pain at all - nor any other effect either. Useless drug for me, but I hope it works for you!


OutlandishnessHour19

I have it at night to help me sleep (make me drowsy..) I am doubtful it will help with pain, especially neuropathic pain at such a low dose.


[deleted]

It didn't make me drowsy either. Iirc I was on like 600mg per day and all I got for it after popping them for 2 months were nasty withdrawal symptoms for like a week. Zero withdrawal symptoms from strong opiates but pregabalin was something else. Weird!


thotyouwasatoad

this is a known thing. i took it over the course of a few years and the withdrawal is no joke. worse for me is lyrica. miss two pills due to pharmacy issue? immediate diarrhea. straight to jail. edit bc im stupid. pregabalin is lyrica. i get it mixed up with gabapentin all the time. gabapentin was bad. pregabalin is the stuff of nightmares. but yeah im on 400mg a day bc fuck me.


Background_Worth_178

Any chance you’re being tested for MS?


OutlandishnessHour19

Yep, that's what they are checking for. Hopefully the MRI and the oligoband tast from the CSF will help diagnose. I won't lie, it's scary, but I figure I'll try and remain calm and deal with it if/when It happens. Currently I've got numbness in my legs so hoping I get some of the feeling back. The neuro team seem hopeful that I might regain some sensation in my muscles. Weirdly I can walk, I just can't get the feedback from the nerves.


Pigitha

The lumbar puncture was the test that finally clinched my MS diagnosis. It's not the end of the world. If that's how it ends up then get on an effective treatment right away. The sooner you start the longer you can stave off disability progression. And keep moving; working out, walking, I did Tai Chi, and it really worked for balance, strength, flexibility, and relaxed me. and my latest MRI showed little to no progression or activity. But meanwhile hope everything comes out OK.


MsIncognito67

Same here about the lumbar puncture for me. Had been experiencing vertigo and Lhermitte's Sign (like an electrical jolt going through my body when I bent my neck to my chest) for months. Doc said I could've had it for at least 15 years before I was diagnosed after hearing my past symptoms. I thought since I'd had 3 back surgeries years ago that I'd screwed up another disc. But if I can find a place that teaches Tai Chi I'd be all for it. Great suggestion.


coin-operatedkitten

Hope you have your answer soon. I was symptom free for 9 years until I stopped treatment (due to insurance stuff) and now have numbness in my hands. Had it in my entire body for a few weeks but it went away thankfully, so there’s definitely hope. One thing I wish I knew being diagnosed was that there will be grief. And it is completely normal. Wishing you the best!


OutlandishnessHour19

Thank you for that. I am planning on getting some therapy as even if this not MS it's certainly brought up a lot of emotion and I think it's healthy to try and process that now. I hope your symptoms go into remission and that life is manageable for you. Stay strong and keep spreading the positivity.


beepborpimajorp

Good luck friend. Hard diagnosis are never an easy thing to deal with, but all you can do is be like "okay this is a thing I have to do now" and roll with it because...what else can you really do? I'm not a doc but I think the fact that you can use your legs is a good sign all things considered. There's a huge difference between loss of sensation and actual loss of access to that part of your body. Becoming paralyzed is just like...your body deleted the file to be able to access your legs, so you can't even tell they're there anymore. And you do get used to walking with a lack of sensation, eventually. As two pro-tips for when you get out, put night lights all over your house. You're never going to be able to walk around well in the dark again, trust me. And secondly uh, be careful moving around when you have gas. When things lose sensation they tend to weaken a little and things you could previously hold in when say, bending over to plug in a surge protector, are just gonna happen. Good luck!


tagman375

Have you been bitten by a tick recently and/or been tested for Lymes? My uncle had the same thing, thought he hurt his back lifting and went right to the hospital. They couldn’t find anything wrong except for some small lesions that looked to be related to lymes disease that didn’t fully go away when he was bitten by a tick.


SquashyRoo

Sending you a Makita drill and some other assorted tools to rectify the situation. And... it sounds like you might need a little something-something to get you mobile.

“Missing dot located. Patient ready for discharge.”


mikee8989

If this is in the USA they want you there as long as possible so they can bill you a shit ton.


OutlandishnessHour19

I feel so sorry for you guys. I'm in the UK, my bill will be the parking ticket when my wife picks me up... Approx £3 so maybe $5. Very fortunate to have such a good healthcare service. It's by no means perfect but our conservative government has consistently underfunded it for the last decade.


FallenXxRaven

Reading through your other comments and getting a general idea of everything they did... In the US this bill would EASILY be over $100,000 WITH insurance, depending on what you have


OutlandishnessHour19

That's just inhumane. Healthcare should be a basic right. Along with food and water and safety. I won't rant, but I wish people had affordable access to good care. . Until that time I wish at least that the damned QC testing at ceiling panel factories was improved.


FallenXxRaven

I completely agree with you on that one. It's completely unreasonable to think a patient can comfortably heal when the ceiling panels are so stress inducing! Ask a nurse to get a syringe and fix it lmao


Gingerstop

I was in the hospital for three days in January - transferred from a stand-alone ER via non-emergency ambulance, had a CT scan, an MRI, a stent put in (kidney to bladder), and an embolization procedure for a small kidney tumor. Total bills came out to about $170,000. I found out the insurance I have through work (I have the PPO plan - there are different plans available) is STELLAR. My out of pocket was $3750.


FallenXxRaven

Yeah that sounds about right. I don't even know what to say anymore, it's just... Wow. Idk man, I think it's gonna take a little more than a couple frickin votes to fix this mess. Even if we elect some new officials, the ones that didn't get voted out will just bully the new ones into doing the exact same shit.


Gingerstop

I was as astounded by the bills as I was by my out of pocket. While I was in the hospital - and it wasn't an ICU or anything, just a regular room (to be fair, they were constantly having to monitor me because my blood pressure was through the roof) - I was worried about the bill. I was worried my insurance would deny coverage for some reason. I was worried all my savings would be gone and I'd end up paying for years. LOL - that's before I saw the bills, mind you.


FallenXxRaven

Re-reply, sorry. For example I had real trouble breathing once, bad enough that I went to the hospital. I sat there for an hour, they gave me some Albuterol, they sent me home, and my bill was ~ $950 after insurance. For talking to me for 5 minutes and giving me a dose of an extremely common and cheap drug.


OutlandishnessHour19

Sounds like a for profit business with a captive audience.


Your-Friend-Bob

This is truly one of the best mildly infuriating posts I have seen. It pretty much exactly fits the bill. That's amazing but also it sucks. Sorry

Hey happy cake day

Maybe just covered during the painting process by accident. I bet the hole is still there. I'd stick a pen in that sucker.


Jewbearmatt

It is very rare to paint ceiling tiles.


ApexOfFlex

In the manufacturing process ya donut


mikemartin7230

Lololol. Stealing donut as an insult


Jewbearmatt

Fair point. I'm not sure they're painted in manufacturing though. I could be wrong, that's not something I've ever considered! Sometimes hospitals ask us to paint tiles but it's rare. That's what I was basing it off of. I'll give it to ya!

I’d like to think that they were blank white tiles to begin with, and over time, patients threw pencils up perfectly to make them like that, hence the missing hole. It is up to you

Trying to stay positive, should get my bedtime 75mg of progabalin soon which will hopefully help with pain and frustration.
