Heart ANOTHER visit to the hospital!

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been on recently, but I have been feeling really yucky recently......

Friday night I was feeling REALLY poorly, so I called my neuro - who told me to go the hospital - not fun! Went in and met him and had every test known to man done on me - blood wouldn't go to the vials - veins kept collapsing - I have "track" marks up and down my arms........I was kept overnight and released Saturday - guess it's just some virus or bacteria. Now I'm on Augmentin for a while and just resting up.....

Love, love,love my neuro~ he was there to meet me @ the hospital - can you imagine?

Hope this post finds all of you strong and HAPPY!

Love,
Erin

Geez, Erin, just stop it already!

You are indeed very lucky to have such a great neuro. I wish they could all be that way.

Not too strong and not too happy but grateful not to be in the hospital.

Annie

Heart Hi Annie!

Hey hon!

It's starting to become a running joke @ the hosp - I've been there so many flippin times!

ER sux! Just sux! The guy beside me was a suicide watch and someone died while I was there - scary stuff! I heard all of this commotion and then people started screaming and I thought the place was going to be shot up! Scary stuff!

Home is so wonderful! I hate the hospital! Just hate it!

Take care!
Erin

Default Sorry, Erin!

So sorry you had to go to the hospital again! I know what you mean; staying in the hospital really does suck! The same thing happened the night of my surgery a few weeks ago...I remember waking up, and hearing some loud alarm going off and all these nurses and doctors running down the hall...it turned out that someone had had a heartattack....I think she died ..I ended up staying in the bed that she was staying in...My roomy told me that she believes she passed away...

I hope you get to feeling better soon! The infections really throw things for a loop, and make the treatment complicated, I know! Somehow, your docs. will find the right balance! Just a matter of time!

Heart Hi Nicknerd!

Hey sweetie! Are you feeling better now? Are you still @ the hospital? I hope you are HOME - safe and sound by now!

I see my PCP 2morrow - I am PRAYING that she will up my pain meds for my back!

Things are slowly improving, but I will be feeling GREAT soon - I just know it! As will you!

You have been so brave though all of this - it is wonderful someone with such spirit!

Can't wait to hear from you!
Love,
Erin
