As some of you know I was in the hospital for a week. I am still not feeling the best, but at least I am home. Hospitals are great when you are really ill, but when you start to feeling better the cardiac wing( where I was ) is really irritating. They have alarms on EVERYTHING the bed the chair by the bed the iv machines, the heart monitors. You name it they have an alarm for it.. I guess that is a good thing, because I was told many people fell on that floor. So the bed alarms are to tell the nurses if anyone tries to get up. The problem with it is two times my bed alarm went off and I was not even trying to get up . I was in there nearly a week when one of the new nurses decided to bring up the third rail on the bed, which made me feel boxed in. I tend to sleep with a foot off the edge of the bed , and when she did that the panel on it would not allow it.
Don"t get me wrong most of the nursing staff was really nice and patient with me when I was there, only a couple of them made me wonder why they went into nursing at all. When I first got there I was too sick to care about anything, but as I started to get better I started asking questions about the meds they had me on and the doctor did not like that. Doctors are smart and most of them mean well, but I have noticed some of them do not want to listen to the patient. It is like ok we have this problem and this med has been good for this prob in other people so let's use it, BUT it is really ingratiating when you try to tell the doc you have had a prob with some med in the past and they do not want to hear it. You are with your body 24/7 they should listen when you try to tell them something is a problem for your body.
Lately I have been worried about side effects, and my worrying about that does not help my anxiety at all. I think some of the meds are messing with my imunities in my mouth. My tongue is soreish and has white on it. Good news is I got a doc appointment tomorrow. I will ask her then.
Ohhh and on another subject my friend that was not responding to the phone when I called is at the hospital today she called me on the way there her water broke and her little girl may be here by now.
