Nov6, 6:25 pm, hospital day 23, feeling blah
Hi everyone, I am still hanging in there. I keep hoping I’m going to have my last bad day. My skin kept feels very chilled and hot at the same time. I can’t tell if I am cold and need more blankets or hot and need to take off some layers. I bundle up like an Eskimo.
I am no longer in pain so have not needed any pain medicine. I have had 5 bm’s today. None that would be called Diarrhea. Sorry for any of you with weak stomachs, but this seems to go with the territory. Nothing goes out of your body here with out inspection so at one point they were so short staffed that I was having to stack “hats of poo” so they could weigh them or what ever they do. How humiliating. And I am still peeing quite a bit from yesterday, I had a dose of lasix. I have been so swollen and large in my stomach and legs, but most of that is gone now. My weight is back to normal or lower but I was actually way over my normal weight by maybe even 10 lbs. luckily I’m wearing stretch pajamas. This has been somewhat miserable. I am still grateful though, I am doing so much better than some others around here. I don’t know if it is an easier time of things or better prognosis…. just better. I feel so bad for some of them…
