Sleeping was great.

Today I slept. A lot. Well a lot in here is about 2 whole hours straight. Mom went home around 1 and I instantly fell asleep. Anywho, you are probably looking for an update, so here goes:


I got a little bit of information today regarding my care. Yesterday, I had no idea what was going on. The doctor came in today and said that I would be put on one new IV medication called Amikacin, and on my normal IV med called Meropenem. Apparently my last cultures came back and said that a new medication was more effective at killing the bugs I have. I can attempt to explain this later. She also said that I would be in here most likely about two weeks. My sinuses have been giving me some headaches and she put me on a new steroidal nasal spray. She said that if I still have nasal problems by the end of the week, she would want to get a CT scan of my nasal passages, and if they are full, she would recommend sinus surgery. I will do everything in my power to avoid that decision. Also mentioned were my lung X-rays. They are not terrible, but they are a little worse than last time. I have some crackles in my right upper lung, which just indicates a bit of congestion. I'm hoping that my nebs and clearance therapy will be helpful in getting rid of that.


I have had a lot of doctors trying to learn on me, and I don't like them one bit. One doesn't put her self out there confidently, and nothing is worse than that. One doctor asked me a ton of questions about myself, but failed to relay information regarding my stay from one of my primary doctors. They better learn to do the job right pretty quickly, because as of right now, I don't want them/wouldn't trust them.


Got a lecture from my diabetes doctor about my pump. I hate my pump with a passion, and he recommends a new thing it is similar to a pump but it's wireless. Sounds much more convenient. I think I would be more likely to follow the doctor's suggestion if they didn't attack me every time they talked to me. Basically they will just follow my sugars and insulin and make changes as they see fit, which is what they do every time I come here.


So today I plan on watching Lord of the Rings. Just the first one. Maybe tomorrow I will watch the second, and the third the next day. I am on isolation for about 2-3 days until they prove I don't have MRSA or another bug I can give to others. It is a new policy. Every person who comes in here has to swabbed for communicable bugs. This puts us on isolation for a few days until the results come back. I just want to go and walk around and do things for myself like get a juice from the fridge or get some sun in the lobby downstairs. Oh well. I'll be here long enough to do those things in a few days. Just so people know, I don't have any internet in here, but I somehow get this to work. This is literally the only site that does work. I'm not sure exactly why. Anyway, if you feel like communicating, just hit comment under the entry you want to comment on, and sign in as anonymous. You can sign your name at the end if you like. I just really miss you all a lot and I would love to hear from you!

Ok, time for my nebulizers!
