Hospital Day 2~3 !!

Weeeeelllllll as far as a hospital stay goes this one is kinda not so terrible, kinda. But it also is.
MONDAY!!!
So Monday i didnt get the picc line as planned because the new resident is a dipshit. To be perfectly honest she really was. She insisted that they try to do it bedside but that never works cause ive had so many and the only option is to go down to IR and have the surgical team place it and she doesnt know what shes talking about and it took my doctor and all the nurses and me bitching at her to get her to see that. I also had a fever again during the day so my nurse cranked up the heat and brought me 6 blankets, i asked for a puppy as well but she couldnt do it....boo :(

She makes the best faces!!!

My mom came by and my sister too, she brought me Panera which was absolutely delicious and waaaay better than this shit food they have here haha and although she had more fun taking pictures of herself than talking to me i had fun!! She also decided to write "patient has 3 symptoms of crabs" on my white board haha. So that was Monday......



TUESDAY!!



 I was woken up super early and was not happy about it then when my breakfast got here so did the guy to take me down to IR for my picc, They were getting ready to do some dye thing (i cant remember the medical term) and an angioplasty and the pain meds + and empty stomach did not really feel good!! But they got it in okay and the surgeon played counting crows while he worked which reminded me of someone <3 and ive gotta say thinking about them the whole time made it waaaay easier!


then as soon as i got upstairs i ordered lunch but guess what...as soon as it got there so did respiratory. Awesome. After that tho i turned up pandora and did my nails (as girly and stupid as it sounds haha) and they came out super cute! It took forever tho but its not like i have anything but time in here ha



Later Michelle and Allie came to see me and brought me cards and gifts and Panda Express! It was delicious and we got ridiculous fortunes that made no sense at all haha, They also made a "kegger in room 1456" sign on my white board hahaha trying to top Sarahs sign but lets be honest thats probably never going to happen. Love them to pieces they are such amazing bffs!


I def had issues with one nurse though who insisted on treating me like her 10 year old daughter, around 5 she came in and said " Are you planning on eating tonight?? i know how doing your nails can be and sometimes you get really involved and lose track of time so can you do me a favor and order some dinner?? "  
im sorry what?!?!
Then i told her my friends were bringing me dinner and she brought my enzymes so i could just take them whenever but she brought two and when i told her i need 3 she acted like she didnt believe me and said she had to go check, comes back 10 mins later and says "you know what rachel i was looking at your chart and i saw your supposed to have 3 of these..." YEAH I KNOW I JUST TOLD YOU THAT!! annoying!! theeeeeeen i asked her for a cup of coffee at 9 and she asked if i was trying to stay up for something and she asked if ill be able to go to sleep soon...to make it worse sarahs webcam broke so i couldnt skype my puppy but she sent me a video of him!! THE PRESH!! 

Last time I checked i wasnt on the peds floor....which must mean im on and adult floor, as an adult, who is capable of making decisions about what i eat and drink and when i eat and drink them as well as when i want to go to sleep, im 23 i dont have a bedtime lady. Now go home. Okay okay rant over! Tomorrow Joey is coming by after work <3 he told me to make a list of things i wanted him to bring me so im trying to think of the most ridiculous impossible things to ask for haha but i think i might go for some real food as well, i really cant stand the "food" they have here! itll obviously be the best day of the week. Im def excited to see him :) Goodnight all!

Hospital Day 1

Well day 1 was frustrating to say the least, i was put on the 12th floor which seems like itd make sense because its the respiratory unit but im always on 14 so i didnt have my usual doctors and nurses, im sure their just as good on 12 ad on 14 but they dont know a thing about cf! The doctor kept asking if i was near sick people or construction cause she couldnt understand why i was having trouble breathing if i wasnt sick lol i told her its just normal cf stuff like 5 times haha. Luckily my first nurse has a daughter with it so shes familiar from a parent stand point but then again i dont know her daughters situation im sure its different as everyones is and so she still wasnt sure how to treat me, she got me a room on 14 though so i moved up there around 7 :) My RT last night was amazing too he was hilarious and i had never had him before but he told me jokes and i think laughing was almost better treatment than the physio he did haha. So the day wasnt too bad but then during the night i had a lot of trouble, lets list off everything that went wrong from 9-9 shall we?

  1. My nurses name was Ann but she had never seen parks and rec so any and all quotes i threw at her would be pointless.

  2. I had a fever and crazy headaches all night but there wasnt an order for tylenol so there was nothing they could do but feel bad for me and give me blankets till the doctor came in today.
  3. I miss my precious baby puppy.
  4. They had to draw blood at 4am and couldnt find a vein and had to try a few times before finally getting a good one..in my hand where it hurts the most.
Luckily my fever broke early this morning so im okay now :) Plus my favorite nurse brought me breakfast from Panera and a white chocolate mocha so my morning isnt too bad so far, still tho i fully intend on napping most of the day. I mean, when my mom and Sarah arent here and after i go down to get my picc line placed haha. Happy Monday everyone!
