Hello,
I am the guest of St. David's North Austin Medical Center. I have Sepsis. It looks like I will be here a few more days. I also have a bad UTI and kidney infection and I don't know how many antibiotics they have me on.
I woke up at 3 this morning wanting coffee and I have the sweetest nurses and Techs. They brought me a cup and it's the only thing I have wanted since coming in Saturday night.
They have an amazing room service menu. I have not wanted any food. I have had severe nausea and haven't kept anything down. The nurses have ordered me citrus popsicles, sugar free gelatins, juices and other liquids but i haven't had but enough to have my insulin. I did keep a couple of saltine crackers down and that was the turning point I think. I just want to go home but I have adamant orders from my kids to stay here for as long as they will have me.
Matthew called me yesterday and said his job gave him 2 days off to visit me. I hated to be the one to tell him but we cannot have visitors. Everyone is masked up wearing PPE's and minimal touching. They tested me for the Coronavirus. It was awful. The way that they have to insert it is not pleasant at all. I finally found something that I can Agree With Trump on.... UNPLEASANT....
My sister told me to have my doctors do a blood test from now on. I was negative and glad because I don't think I would repeat it given free will. A flu swab is uncomfortable. This goes further than uncomfortable.
I hate for this to be so short but it's hard typing with all of these Iv's in my hands and arms. Hopefully I will know how much longer I will be here today. I want to reschedule my tele visit with my kidney specialist. He is communicating with my specialists here from what I am told.
Ok I will talk to you later. Hugs to all. Steve I hope you get some really nice Thunderstorms.... Miss Edna love you too. BB
Oh how I hate hospital. I used to work in one years ago. Thanks, that's enough. But the good side is they put me in the hospital last August and I was so sick I didn't care if I lived or died. Being old, having cancer and type 2 diabetes I have as many things wrong with me as is possible. But just a few days there and I was a new person again. UT Southwestern in Dallas. I hate hospitals, but I'm sure happy I had that one.
ReplyDeleteGet well, this too will also pass. WE CAN DO THIS!
I'm staying put so that I don't have to have that test! So sorry you are laid up in the hospital again. At least you have your laptop to keep you company. Here's hoping you can go home really soon. Pogo sends lots of woofs your way. Get well my friend, love you too, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you're in the hospital and here's hoping you get out soon! At least you can get coffee. That would be my requirement, too. :) No rain so far here!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're in the hospital but glad you're getting the care you need. I hope recovery is a straight line for you, and that you're home again soon. Hugs.
