Day 176. At 8 am I was transferred from the emergency room to a room in the hospital. While wearing a mask on my face, I was wheeled from the ER to the room that is to be my home for the next few days. I was put in a double room by myself because I was considered contagious. I began texting and calling friends and family to let them know I was in the hospital.
I was sick. I can't begin to tell you how sick I was. My head felt like a coconut was being cracked on it all the time. My neck hurt all the time. I was nauseous all the time. The nurses were either taking my blood pressure, temperature, heart rate or they were giving me morphine or they were giving me anti-nausea meds. I was either sleeping, peeing (from all the saline they were pumping into me) or answering texts/phone calls. Television or reading made me sick.
About part way through the day my phone began to die. I watched that battery symbol get lower and lower. I realized that I brought my kindle and iPad but not a phone charger. I had no way to get a charger from home. I told my friend C that I could not talk long because I had no charger. Hours later a nurse brought me a Vanity Fair, phone cord and cute butterfly plug. I told them I didn't order anything. Turns out my friend C called the hospital store and bought me these items and had them delivered to my bedside. That was the nicest thing ever! A life saver really!
Until tomorrow...
