No Attn Span
I've got the attn span of a gnat. Either I'm tired and I fall asleep when trying to concentrate on something or I reread the same paragraph over and over again, not realizing until I get to the end that I've already read it before.
I want to write about my hospital experience, but can't seem to collect my thoughts enough to get them typed down. That and I have to hit backspace far more than I thought possible, much less necessary.
I would be able to sleep completely through the night if it weren't for my bladder wanting to empty more often than normal. I guess it's going to be irritated for awhile since it had to be peeled off my uterus during surgery. Yeah, I guess it's allowed to have some issues for awhile.
This time, not having an OB/GYN ward at AV made for a much less enjoyable stay. The nurse taking care of me when I was brought to the 5th floor was uncommunicative, moody and rushed. The lady in the next bed had nothing good to say about her. She didn't even bother transcribing my usual meds from my admission form into my chart. I had to provide my own meds and on the 2nd day, the RN on duty found out and freaked. He was more decent than the rest of the nurses I saw with the exception of that first night.
I found out that morphine doesn't remove all pain for me. Even when the little PCA button was pushed, I got a sort of itchy feeling in my nose, but it took longer for pain relief to kick in. I guess I should have tried the dilauded the nurse recommended. I felt more comfortable with what I knew. What if the dilauded didn't work? Then I'd be stuck 4 more hrs w/out anything further. Suck!
I went to a mtg for our church last night. Didn't take long and wasn't exciting, but I'm exhausted today! It was my first outting since coming home from hospital.
