UL hospital stay February 28, 2013

Well the last time I went through this, I made Rob promise me that he would kill me before he let anyone ever put me on steroids again. I did put up a fight, but they said they would use a different kind of steroid. I see not one difference. I'm a train wreck, cant sleep and already losing feeling in my legs. Maybe it's the emotions, but I'm very unhappy with the nursing care here...very understaffed. In Owensboro, they checked on me often and usually returned with meds in 15 minutes. Here it's forever. They put a pic line in to replace the IV since I need a nutritional IV as Im not eating. It's now been 3 hours since they said they were coming. Enough complaining though. I am extremely happy that the room is large enough that Robs brother is bringing J and K to spend the night with us tonight. We got permission from the nurse, so I hope there's no issue. I wish My baby could be here, but she's too much for me right now :( Brandon will be 22 tomorrow, so I wish I could be with him too. The surgeons office called today and told me not to freak out, but they were putting me on the surgery schedule for Monday. It is tentative since she does want to see me before that decision is made. There is a chance if Im better, she will want me to get stronger a while before surgery. Her associate said its riskier to go into surgery in an emergency situation. I expressed that Im afraid if I wait, I'll end up back in the same shape. She assured me that would be taken into account. So now just waiting and pretending my ice chips are a big juicy filet mignon!
