They gave her about four, maybe five units of blood before they let her go home. She was also on IV fluids the whole time she was there. They never did figure out what was wrong.

They wanted to make sure her hemoglobin count was normal before she left. They wouldn't let her leave if that hadn't been okay.

I just talked to my aunt, the nurse practitioner, she told me to take half of a 10 mg prednisone, and eat something. To let that sit for little while, and then take a pain pill. So I just broke a prednisone in half, and I'm eating an apple. I'm going to take a meloxicam a little later. Meloxicam is like ibuprofen but stronger.

The apple that my dad cut up for me was really good.

Wish I knew what was wrong with my arm. I was supposed to see the orthopedist yesterday, but my dad couldn't take me because he was at the hospital with my mother. I'm going to call the orthopedist office tomorrow and see if I can get on the cancellation list if anybody else cancels their appointments.

I would love to take a shower right now but I don't think I have it in me. I'm hot and sweaty and my shoulder hurts. Maybe once the prednisone and pain pills kick in. I can try one.

Going to go see if I can avoid throwing up now. I slept all day today. I hope I can sleep again later.
