Today was anything but
quiet! We should have a revolving door on this house. People just kept coming.
And when no one was here people were calling. Two or three calls at one
time. Most of them were from medical people
so they were calls that I had to take.
Plus we had people stop by
to work on the sidewalk. Tomorrow more people will be here to continue to work
on the sidewalk. Then they will finish it on Saturday. I don’t know how long it
will take for the cement to harden after it is poured on Saturday. But I will
be very happy when the project is done and the clean up afterwards is
completed. Just maybe then it will be a little more peaceful and quiet around
here.
I am hoping that Friday
will be very quiet. I know my VNA Nurse will be by to do her weekly care of me.
I am praying that her visit will be the only one. I really could use some more
rest from being in the hospital.
Again the nurses in the
hospital messed up my care. The “aide” woke me up to take my vital signs but
the nurse did not wake me to give me my medication. I had to call and ask for
it. She gave me a night medication in the morning. Then when she came she
forgot to give me the blood thinner shot. Of all medications to forget! Here I
am in the cardiac unit because I have a blood clot on my upper right lung and I
don’t get the stuff to dissolve it.
I must admit that I do not
like giving myself shots twice a day. But I understand how important those
shots are so I do it. So I am very glad to be home taking care of myself and
knowing that I am getting all the med’s and getting them at the right time. I
guess that nurse is not good at multitasking.
Also for any of you who do
not connect with me through Facebook I would like to make you aware of a new
medical device. It is a modern type of medical alert bracelet. My son Frank got
it for me yesterday. Please check out the following website: medicalhistorybracelet.com or call toll
free: 1-866-798-4531. I think it is
a great device but I know that it might not work for everyone.
Hi Suzie,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear abut the setback. Glad you're doing better now. Hope the "fumigation" works as desired! Laurie
Hi Laurie,
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was just a little bump in the road. The blood thinner is working.
I think it will take a full month before we know how the "fumigation" is doing. At that time the doctors might up the dose of that medication.
The family has really rallied around me and I am enjoying my life.
