My hospital stay

Mar 12, 2011

This is the first I'm writhing about it. My experience was not a very good one in the hospital.  The pain was so terrible, but the pain medicine was worst! I could NOT function on it at all!  I had to have the dosage put down to the bear minimum.  Day two I passed a huge amount of blood, and they found that  I had a tear inside my pouch, but it had stopped.  I was given two units of blood, and then had a reaction to that. ( I broke out in a huge amount of itchy blisters all over my back, and some on the rest of my body, like little pimples everywhere). It was so uncomfortable.  

Some of the nursing staff was down right MEAN, I had to go to the bathroom so bad the second day due to the bleeding, rang my bell and they took 15 minutes to get to me. Because I had to pee so bad I could not keep it in and wet the hole way to the bathroom.  The nurse was mad at me!  I was so embarrassed and cried the whole time I had to have help getting cleaned up.  I found certain nurses on each shift and demanded that they were the only ones aloud in my room from that point on. I was so happy to go home!

The bed that the hospital had me in was to high for me to get into, but I had to struggle every time getting in.  I did tell my doctor about this and he said he will be sure that the bed is not used any more for bariatric patients.  

I have already said, why did I ever have this done! But I know why, and hopefully today will be a better day.
