What On Earth Did I Do?

- What on earth did I do to Pat that could have led to this situation? It seems like I did something terribly wrong, and I am left in complete confusion. I can't help but wonder what my actions were that might have upset Pat. The uncertainty is overwhelming. What could have triggered this reaction? It’s essential for me to understand what happened so that I can address it appropriately.
You are not idiots. Not wishing to be unkind to anyone , you should have been given the correct measure, a measuring spoon or syringe. You both do extremely well. All the best.
Dear Pat and Trevor, so you recreated opium den for Pat. I am so glad you manage to overcome this. One has to giggle but it is serious matter the medicines, they should have explained to you how much and show you, love to you both❤😊
Pat, you are the sweetest, kindest lady! Laughing about your horrible day. I'm so glad no harm was done.
I totally agree. They don’t make them like Pat very often.
Still having nightmares about it Carole. Poor Pat. With friends like me, who needs enemies.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun ❤️
Oh my goodness - no wonder Pat was so sick - and perhaps it was a good job that she was. Like me, you’re not used to measuring things in millilitres etc, so if it’s any help for the future, as a rough guide, 5mls is about a teaspoonful. Hopefully you’ll get some more news soon about the scan. Take care ❤❤
It's not your fault Trevor the doctor and pharmacy should have explained to you how much to give pat ❤️❤️
So true, the pharmacist should’ve explained that especially seeing that it was a narcotic. As a former pharmacy technician, you should’ve heard my gasp when you said you gave her 25Mls😮. In any case, we could’ve all been character witnesses if the police had any questions about your intentions, Trevor, we all know you would never do that.
As a nurse this makes me sad, you are struggling to manage a very difficult situation, you are doing everything you can. Luckily Pat was sick that's what saved the day, she's a tough lass for sure. Please don't let it put you off, it's a really good drug for things like this. Check with the GP but you can certainly slowly increase it without getting a phone call!! 💜
Thank you Nichola. I have given Pat the right dosage today, and she has felt better than she has for a long time, so the drug is a good one.
Aw bless ya both 🥰 I do love watching your channel. You are such lovely people x
Hello Trev & Pat. Today is my 1st time ever seeing your UA-cam Channel Vlogs
~Hollybeth in rural Kansas, USA
My grandparents were born in your area of the world. It is my ancestry. My ancestors are very new to immigrating to USA & I have vivid memories of hearing the older relatives sounding like your accent .
Every one sitting around and drinking a cuppa.
Wondering and beautiful childhood memories of my family ♡
Hi Hollybeth! It’s wonderful to hear that our vlogs resonate with you and connect you to your roots. We appreciate you stopping by and sharing your family's story!
You are so amazing making light of this dreadful situation..The doctor or chemist should have helped you see the correct dose for such a powerful medication..Kind regards to you both .x
Thinking of you both ❤
God bless you both really hope it is good news for Pat. In this situation half the battles is getting a diagnosis at least you then know what you are dealing with xx
No good news yet Karen. xx
Bless you two.
I know medication is difficult. Pharmacist is in a rush and the paperwork with the pills is something else. Really wishing pat well and you are doing a great job
Thank you Graham. Pat has been much better today.xx
So good to see you both smiling😊 and seeing the funny side of a trauma ❤
That was yesterday Judi. So much has happened since.❤
@@trevorpat-lifeontherunJust checking in Trevor oh no 😟
I do wish the dosage cups would have black numbers and letters on for bad eyesight people,would be safer to see.
Oh Trevor that was very poor of the pharmacy not going through dose. Sending you both love x
I must say I am surprised they didn't warn me or check I understood, with it being such a potent medicine.
Hello Trevor and Pat. We love watching you. My Husband David and I are about the same age as you. We married in 1969. Hope this helps to tell you, that I did almost the same thing with the dosage of the same drug. About a month ago, David was prescribed the same liquid as Pat. The box did contain a syringe. But I have never seen one like it before. The dosage on it was terrible. Our Son was home, he couldn’t make head nor tails either. So we had to return to the chemist and we were given an everyday syringe. So all ok. If I had tried to use the syringe in the box, I would have got the dosage wrong. So try not to feel bad. I also worked in a chemist years ago. Hope you soon get sorted Pat and feel better. Best wishes to you both. xx
Thank you Rosemary. There was no seringe in the box, just the measuring cup. I can't sleep for thinking about it, and when I do nod off, I have strange dreams. I can tell that Tracey has lost confidence in me, and today Pat is not well. This is the lowest I have ever felt. xx
@ Please give our love to Pat. Thinking of you both. Know how all the waiting for tests/ results is so worrying. Please forgive yourself about the drug dosage. I’m sure it’s happened to other people as well as us. Yesterday I found the syringe up and said to David, show me where you would have measured the dose to on the syringe. He did exactly the same as I nearly done. Went to the wrong mark. I said to him, there you are, you would have just overdosed. Please tell Pat,David said the medicine didn’t help him at all, apart from feeling sleepy. You both take care. xxx
Hi Pat and Trev, I love watching your videos
What you’re taking Pat is Oramorph be careful do your research You need to know the side effects it can have. Love you both.
Oh Trevor🫣 you must have been worried sick.
Please it ended up ok and looking back you can be light hearted about it. If Pat hadn't of been sat next to you we would have been on a cliff hanger worrying what the outcome was going to be 😕. You sure know how to keep us lot on our toes with your daily vlogs, hope you've both had a more settled day, see you both tomorrow ❤x
No Jan, Pat is poorly and I am exhausted.❤
@trevorpat-lifeontherun not easy and totally understand you are very worried about Pat. Not seen today's update as we've had a power cut so just replying to your comment first. Take a break from UA-cam if things are getting too much, We understand, you need to look after yourself so you're there to support Pat, she will understand that. Take care ❤️x
No harm done Trevor, it was an easy mistake to make, good to see you both laughing today, even if it was at poor Pats expense, myself and my husband were really laughing that would be something we could easily do!, and the added bonus your not going to be carted off to the clink! 😂❤
Oh my God ! The pair of you ! Thank goodness everything is OK, It was an easy mistake to make, Glad to see you both laughing....I expect you were so worried Trevor, alls well that ends well.! Xx❤
Oh I was devastated Dawn when I realised what I had done. I'm not fit to be let lose am I?
Bless you both ....sending hugs to you both xxxx
Thank you Loraine.❤
Big hugs and you are both doing a great job looking after each other ..can't understand why they cant make those measuring cups clearer maybe black lettering on them or something or even do the medicine in some sort of pipette .. My hubby and I both have to look after each other same as you and do our best .. much Love 💕
I didn't know about those seringe type things. Just glad I didn't do Pat some serious harm. She is feeling better today on the right dose.❤
👋🏻👋🏻 Gosh, the pharmacist should have realized that the drug prescribed was not something Pat has ever taken before and they should have stressed NOT to administer more than the recommended dosage of 2.5 ml or 1/2 tsp (4 times daily). We find we have to use a magnifier to read the measurements on the side of the plastic measuring cups that come with the medicine. We take a fine black marker pen and hi-lite the dose recommended. What a terrible shock for you Trevor when Tracey pointed out the mistake. It makes you wonder how many others have made the same mistake and unintentionally took too much medicine.
Thankfully Pat is bouncing back👍👍. It might take a couple of more doses before Pat starts to feel some relief from the constant pain. Instead of the plastic cup just use a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon, much easier to see you have measured the correct amount for Pat. You are a good man Trevor 💕. Thoughts are with you both. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦
Conversion: 5ml = 1tsp. 2.5ml = 1/2 tsp
Gosh, if only someone had said half a teaspoon full I would have known, but I don't have any knowledge of these european measures.
I have been giving Pat the correct dosage today, and she is much better, she was up making the tea tonight.
In the UK, we used to get a plastic teaspoon with liquid medicine.
That measured 5 ml. So much simpler than the syringe they favour now.
I still tend to use a teaspoon for my grandchildren, as I was uncertain how to use the syringe.
Glad it all was resolved for you both ❤❤
Poor pat. You two have been thru so much in the last couple of days. I’m in America and if pat went to the doctors here she would have been sent right to the hospital right away to have all her tests considering her age and other medical issues. You two are up in age to be driving all around and waiting in lines for someone to see you. National health has its pros and cons. We don’t have that here. We pay for health insurance, there are all different plans and costs. And when you’re 65 you get Medicare which covers 80% of your bill and most people carry a supplement to pay for the other 20%. But if you set sick and call your doctor you go in usually right that same day. We also have tons of walking if you prefer that. I had a cold and I went to our local walk in . I got there at 8am when they opened and was done by 8:30. He gave me a percriptions and no waiting. Hope pat gets to the bottom of her pain. My husband had afib. Does pat take a blood thinner for that. I love pat she is such a nice kind person. Always helping around the house . Love you too Trevor. My mother used to say don’t get old, now I know what she means. Please let pat get well.❤
“ 111 on speed dial “ 😂😂 fabulous Pat, you mad us chuckle. Sorry that you’ve had such a tough time and I’m sure Trevor was devastated but you should have been issued with a proper, easy to administer measure with the prescription. ❤
Your right, neither of us knew what 2.5 ml looks like, I mean half a teaspoon, it hardly covered the bottom of the measuring cup.
Bless both of you ❤❤ sending you my love your in my thoughts.
Love your new jumper Trevor . See you both tomorrow.. fingers crossed you get word from your dr ❤❤xx
Thank you so much Leonie, glad you like the jumper! Hope the doc has some good news for us-fingers crossed! See you soon!
@ keeping everything crossed 🤞 for you both xx
Oh my goodness. You couldn’t make it up could you. It was not your fault either Trevor so don’t beat yourself up. You can see the love you have for each other. What a drama. At least it got rid of the pain. Oh Pat. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Xxx
Pat loved not having any pain. I gave her the right dose today and she has had a good day, and said she has felt better today than she has for a good seven weeks. xx
Hi Pat and Trevor.God bless you both.Easy mistake to make and when you are age people should be more understanding about if we do ml we are so not use to it.We are old school.Take care.xx❤
Oh, you poor loves. What an horrendous time. Ghastly !! Trevor, you are an amazing husband to Pat, so don't bother yourself about the dosage. ❤
I have got over it now, and Pat is much better today, but I had terrible dreams last night.
Oh my goodness Trevor, What a time you have both had. You could write a book on your shenanigans!! Lovely to see you are both seeing the funny of it. Sending love and get well wishes to Pat. X Trevor in your defense I can see how the mistake was made. I can’t do metric measurements. Bring back the old days.
Thank you Alison, as a matter of fact I have published a book.
Oh dear, I do feel like a foolish old man now.
So sorry to hear that you’re not well Pat hope they can get it sorted soon. ❤️💐
Thank you Andrew. ❤️
Oh dear poor pat bet you were mortified glad it turned out ok lots love❤
I didn't know what was happening Lynda, but yes, I am OK now thank you.
Aww 😂 poor Trevor , the doctor should have shown you . Hope you feel better soon . ❤
They obviously don't realise how thick I am.🤪
Take care Pat.❤
👍❤️
Poor Pat she still looks pale and a bit wobbly in the vlog. I must admit I do t think I’d want my medical condition discussed at length in such a public way. I do hope she gets some answers soon and they can give her the right treatment.
Aww poor Pat bless her xx
Lesson for all of us ,,we all could make mistakes
Aw my goodness what next !!! Bless you both these things happen don’t beat yourself up Trevor Pats a toughie the stress of sorting her out doesn’t help just one thing I would like to say is please don’t start skate boarding 🤣🤣🤣 xx
Oh Trev, what are you like!!😂 back to nurses school for you! My husband has just told me that 2.5 mil is half a teaspoon……I’m gonna remember that!
Take it easy.
X
Oh Trevor, I what are you like?? Poor Pat, it’s a good job she knows you didn’t mean to do it. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall to hear what Tracey said to you. Pleased that you both can chuckle about this. Take care, hope you hear later or in the morning. xx
It would have been like one of these farces you used to see at the theatre. xx
@ You must have been frantic when you realised! So pleased it turned out ok. xx
Oh Trevor, you must of felt awful! Poor Pat, opium based meds are yuk at the best of times! I really hope you hear soon about the scan. Sending you all hgs & love😲🤞💞🐾🧚♀️🏴
@@Alto07-64 I was beside myself. I just couldn't believe I could be so stupid. Last night I couldn't sleep, I just kept seeing Pat drinking that plastic cup of morphine down. I just kept groaning.
@ Oh Trevor, don’t blame yourself, the pharmacy should have given you on of the syringes, aren’t they supposed to check the dosage? We all know you would never do anything to arm Pat, she is the absolute love of your life! Come on shake it off, onwards and upwards! xx
It's easy to get confused trevor , my partner is on a mixture of meds and they constantly change the packaging ect it's so confusing 😊
You are both so lovely. Don't forget Trevor please get pats diabetes sorted. I'm convinced. Love to you both.xx
I am beginning to see what you are saying Lynie. I have persuaded Pat to lay off the carbs for the next two weeks and see if the pain goes away.❤
Poor Pat and poor you Trevor so pleased everything turned out OK. I virtually over dosed one of my dogs with probiotics and my youngest who was 20 then had terrible tooth pain and the dentist had no appointments free at the time so told my son to take paracetamol or ibuprofen until the next day. Anyway he took 2 then for some reason took another 2 about an hour later he took another 2 and he kept going on like this after a while I said to him how many have you took today, he said a full pack through the day, so i panicked phoned my other son whose partner is a nurse, they came over and took him to hospital, he was there 6 hours, they flushed his stomach and also kept asking him if he had tried to commit suicide until he explained about the pain and the dentist. They seemed to understand then and told him in future it's 2 every 4 hours and it was a good thing we didn't have ibuprofen in. Xx
Aww poor Pat you must have felt really poorly and you Trevor must have felt terrible x
Poor Pat didn't know where she was, it completely sent her into another world. I felt sick when I realised the enormity of what I had done.
You're both in your grey today. It looks very modern, Trevor, ❤
Ye, I like interesting clothes. I guess I have never grown up.❤
Love the jumper , really suits you
Thank you.
Oh Trevor, please don't blame yourself .... they should have given you a shringe and clearer instructions in the first place. Thank goodness Pat brought it all back up again.
For future reference, 5ml is one teaspoon.
I wouldn't go out socialising for a while, Pat needs to rest up now, slow down and take things a bit easier.
All the best both.
I can't stop thinking about it Julia, I have lost all my confidence, and I know Tracey and Pat don't trust me now. As if things weren't bad enough.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun and that's not surprising either. It will have been a huge shock to you and of course it will knock your confidence. I'd be tempted to officially complain to the pharmacy or manufacturer of the drug via email or snail mail, copying in your GP. This issue needs to be seriously addressed and not swept under the carpet, it could easily happen to anyone, that measuring cup was not fit for purpose and things could have been a whole lot worse. There should have been a shringe or 5ml spoon included instead. These types of morphine/opium based strong pain killers should be issued with caution under proper professional guidance.
That nurse that shouted to Pat was spot on, you take such good care of Pat and both Tracey and Pat know that.
The reverse happened to me. I had got my hubby out of hospice to die at home, I was giving him way under the recommended dose. Just because I too couldn't understand the dosage. It was the emergency doctor who clearly explained to me what I should be doing . 😢
Sorry for your loss Julia the doctor made a mistake on my mums morphine giving her a far too big a dose. Good job we queried it but they don’t like criticism when they do it.
Oh Julia, so sorry to hear that. It's hard to believe we can be so confused by things.
Oh my goodness what an experience but Pat and you can laugh as she knows how bad you felt and 100% accident. I can only imagine how you felt Trevor. Now that all is well with this accident it does make quite a story. Just curious how tall are you and Pat? Take care you two.
The incident has had quite a debilitating effect on me Debbie, I just can't sleep since it happened. This is worse than the crash.
I am 5ft 4 and Pat is 4ft 10
@ Trevor we can say let it it go but you are the only one that can accept the responsibility of it and then forgive yourself. This has now taught you to to check the dosages very carefully. Maybe check it without saying it then have Pat or someone else check it too and see if you get the same interpretation of it. I myself ask Siri to convert. Again Trevor please forgive yourself it was a accident. Take care.
Poor pat . Mistakes can happen ,so dont be hard on yourself Trevor. Glad you could see the funny side afterwards. More importantly hope you get your scan soon Pat. Much love to you both❤
Easily done. I don’t think young pharmacists realise that we used imperial measurements and also as you get older it’s so hard to see anything. Hope you are both coping well. It’s horrible for you both but hoping things will improve soon xx
I really do feel old and stupid now.
Your jumper is nice. Trying to knock off the missus huh? 😂😂😂. I'm sure you felt terrible, it's nice we can have a giggle about it. 💐
Well it is all crazy when you think about it, I mean, look at us.😀
Oh, looking forward to this vlog Trevor and Pat. Just got a fish from Bourne Plaice in Ramsey. Ready to watch now 😄😄
Took your advice and just had a fish. Take care you two.
I'm glad Pat is here to laugh about this.
I still can't sleep, I keep thinking about it.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun we all know how much you deeply love pat. Im capable of doing silly things too and often do even though I really try to be careful
5ml is one teaspoon so 2.5 ml is half a teaspoon, I am pretty angry that the pharmacist who gave it you didn't explain that as those cups in the box of medicine are impossible to get right. It was an easy mistake and Pat is ok thank god x
I agree that pharmacy should have explained it very clearly……shame on them.
Love your new jumper Trevor,really suits you xx
Oooh Trevor, certainly knocked pat out, you have made me laugh, even though not a laughing matter, hope you get to the bottom of things soon, ❤, if you have a Alexa just ask her if you need measurements, or want to know something, she will help you, if your not sure about anything 😂🤞
OOOH that Alexa, it's like a spy in the kitchen, I can tell you some spooky things that happened as a result of having that thing switched on in the kitchen Fiona.
@ I do agree, she listens to conversations, but she reminds me to take my tablets 😆look after each other, and being posative
💜
Pat is going to be checking every meal,drink etc you give her from now on!!:>)
Ha ha. No, Pat trusts me, she knows it was a genuine mistake, but I did feel bad.
Aw Trevor you must have felt terrible...Pat make sure you get a second opinion before you take meds from him again lol God love you x
Oh Trevor I can imagine how awful you felt, I blame pharmacy they should have explained it to you clearly…….i am glad all turned out well.
Trevor I think Pat looks a little better today, she does need building up, and lots of warming foods, full fat milky drinks etc.
Hopefully news tomorrow of scan date x
Your right Betty, Pat has been much better today, and I am trying to get some good wholesome fatty food into her. She has had eggs and bacon and fish today, and no potatoes.
I think the pharmacist should of shown you how much to give with a drug like that, not everyone has good eyesight to see these things. Not your fault at all Trevor, the system is slack and I would certainly tell the pharmicist what happened next time you go in. Someone needs to be accountable for this. Take care both of you and see you tomorrow, bye!
You are not the only ones that are in this situation I’m sure
The medical profession should not be giving out a liquid narcotic without supervision usually in hospital ward environment
I’m of the opinion that they fob you off with all sorts of pain killers
In 2024 I was in my local hospital for a week having tests
On discharge they prescribed amitriptyline as pain relief
It made me feel ill I stopped taking it and told the gp
It can give you suicidal thoughts and Nick Drake - a songwriter from the 60’s overdosed on it
I can't blame everyone else for my own stupidity Joanne. Everyone seems to be working at full stretch to cope with too much demand on the service. We have actually run out of our tablets and don't know if they have arrived at the chemist from this stupid hub they have introduced. Another so called improvement!
@ PLEASE DON’T blame yourself
From Sept 2023 to October 24 having spent a total of 6 weeks in hospital I’ve leant to be firm with the nurses, dr’s and consultants
And you are not stupid
🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is it Oramorph Trevor ?
What are you like Trevor, you didn't know how to make a cup of cocoa 😂😂😂😂. We were bought up on ounces and pounds and feet and inches, there should be special measuring spoons for us mature people when giving medicine. Bet you were beside yourself yesterday, so glad you can both see the funny side. Best wishes to you both.
Pat is not well today, and I am wacked through lack of sleep. The incident has knocked the stuffing out of me.
Aww poor Pat as if she not sick enough. I would guess 2.5ml is a half teaspoon, and thats how they used to tell us to take it in spoons Don't worry Trevor we know not on purpose
Everybody seems to know but me Jackie.
OMG Trevor! It's not your fault the pharmacy should have asked you if you if it was a new medicine, and shown you where 2.5ml was on the pot... it's the very bottom one. At least Pat can smile about it... sickness is a side effect. I hope you know what you're doing now? 😁
Hi Trevor do u have a post box address I'd love to sent Pat a card, what a time your both having, glad all worked out well with your little misshap.. easily done.. you both had a giggle afterwards not too much damage done thankfully x
I don't know how to give you the address Pauline, I can't give it out here, I don't know how people get the address, sorry, but thank you all the same. ❤️
I think the dosage containers should be marked clearer
They assume everybody knows. I suppose I should have checked first, it's all so stupid, and now Tracey and Pat have lost confidence in me, they don't trust me anymore.
I Don't Know What To Say Really Pat Other Than You Are Having a Terrible Time and Trevor is Doing His Best To Help You - Thats All I Can Say ❤❤
I know Karen. It's just an example of getting old and not understanding things right. I don't blame Trev, he was so upset when he realised.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun Yes You Could Tell That Trevor Was Upset When He Realised - Thank You Pat For Answering My Comment X
I blame the pharmascists....fancy the container so big.
But you couldn't make that up...makes a good comedy script!!!
Glad pats OK. I am only just getting used to new measurements...I am still feet and inches!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 now that’s what you call content !!! Oh dear Trevor, just remember 5ml is a small medicine spoon for kiddies, you were very lucky there Pat ! Just shows how easy it is to make a mistake with medicines especially when at an age where metric means nowt ! Take care Pat keep an eye on him !
OMG Trevor! Totally understand how it happened but cannot imagine how you felt. You turned this video into a very funny one though - can picture you looking at A & E doors for the police to arrive!! You & Pat seen such a lovely couple with a very caring daughter too. News of the scan date will come through soon & you'll be relieved. Look after yourselves x
Our Tracey is such a lovely person, she never hesitates to help, she was so good at explaining to everyone at A&E what I had done. It never crossed my mind that I would be under suspicion of a crime, so when they told me I could have died.
I still work in feet and inches so I can’t criticise, oh dear 😘🤗
Yes, it didn't seem to matter too much in the past, but lt has had desastrous consequences now, I just can't get over it.
Read up side effects
Mabe ask for some anti sickness of doctors
