It's day 6 in the hospital. Some people may think that a hospital stay sounds super boring. Lonely, yes. Boring, no. Everything takes a lot longer to get accomplished so I actually feel like I have to intentionally take time for myself or to rest. The remainder of the day is spent doing everything else under the like attempting to pump, physical therapy, scans, blood draws, etc. People are in and out all day, lots of meetings with doctors and time spend doing basic things.The days just fly by and I'm so exhausted. While they fly by I also feel like some moments drag when I'm in so much pain and moaning. Here's the update: I'm only getting a couple hours of sleep each night because of pain management. I woke up at 3am with a major pain attack. At the end of every day I feel like I have taken about four steps forward and then something happens in the night and I feel like I have to take three steps back. They increased my Dilaudid medication to 3 mg per session and I still woke up with a level eight pain. It's very frustrating to know that my body is still doing so poorly and I am depending so much on pain meds. I also learned that the dilaudid is the most powerful narcotic they can even offer me so there's no going up from here because they tried everything else. Something is wrong with my foot because I woke up in pain and now it's throbbing. (Got an ultrasound for a blood clot in left foot but came out negative) Haven't been vomiting for over 48 hours so I think I'm passed the pain puking. My mom Haley and Kira have had lincoln almost exclusively. If Tavis isn't sleeping he's usually here taking care of me or errands for me. He spends some time with lincoln but Tavis also has a cough and We aren't sure what it is... But lincoln sleeps at my moms right now. Sometimes Tavis has to dash here quickly so it's just easier that way but It's a very lonely time for both of us.
