Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2005Tuesday Update
Hopefully I get to go home today. My GP ok'd it but we have to wait for the ID so sign off on it I'm going to get my IVIG today here in the hospital and that will take till about 3pm so if I do go it will be late. But it will be good to be home. It will be especially good to take a shower! LOL Hopefully next post will be from my own computer. They let me sleep last night so I got about 6 straight hours of sleep only waking up for the bathroom. Feeling MUCH better today! Sleep isn't vauled in the hospital, that's for sure! Hope everyone's having a great day! I'm way behind on Christmas now! I guess my baking isn't going to happen this year :( Cyberhugs, DianeW > Hopefully I get to go home today.

This is splendid news! Isn't sleep wonderful? Don't you just want to smack them when they wake you for blood pressure, pulse, respiration checks? I've been in hospital for extended periods a couple of times, and that always irritated me (not so much as the morphine OD, which wasn't irritating as I recall, just relaxing - hahahaha). I'll keep crossed what will cross for you to go home today. Don't worry too much about the baking. I'd bet people will just be happy to have you there for the holidays, I know I would be. Be well.

It will make them think of your value to the season. Merry Christmas Harv Diane, it is much more important for you to feel good than to do Christmas baking. I'm sure your family will like that much better also. Hope you will get to go home tyhis afternoon. Gwen > Hopefully I get to go home today.

ID wrote discharge orders. The GP wrote orders for blood work in the am so that was my first clue that I probably wasn't going home. In retrospect, he didn't actually say I was going home but talked around my going home and told me what my orders were going to be when I did. As it turned out it was probably for the best since the IVIG made me very nauseaus this time and it was better just to lay in bed than having to move around. Till tomorrow.... Cyberhugs DianeW Hello Diane: I'm just now reading the posts and trying to catch up. Very sorry to hear you have to be in the hospital, but it does seem the best place to be at this point so you get better fast. I hope you will be able to come home tomorrow so you can get some good food and some sleep. Ann Oh, I hope you get to go home today. It makes such a difference just being able to sleep in your own bed. BTW, if you ever have to go in again, you can ask your doc to specify no vital signs for a period of time during the night so you can sleep for a while. If he doesn't feel it's necessary to have them wake you up, he can write that in the orders and you can get some sleep. We used to do it a lot, but docs rarely do it without patients asking. Don't worry about the baking - just get well enough to make the cruise! We want to live vicariuosly through you and I'm already looking forward to the pictures! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Di, I am sorry you can't get home yet. I sure hope you are healing some, and quickly too. You have had to deal with this too long now. Wishing the best outcome for you and that you are able to go home today. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > Hopefully I get to go home today.
