HOSPITAL HELL

Ok so what as going to be a normal test for a colonoscopy turned in to my nightmare!!!

Thursday night I take my poop pills and low and behold they start to work!! I am in the bathroom almost all night. I get all cleaned out and go for my test on Friday

Friday morning we get up take more pills (because yea i haven't poopend enough yet!!) take my shower between sitting on the pot. We get into to the hospital they have told us the wrong place to go so we take the shuttle to Tower 2. get all checked in They give Kathleen a beeper (like at a restaurant how about some tacos with a side of butt scope) We leave there around 1 and go get some food. I eat 2 or 3 bites and take the rest home. I lay down and Kathleen takes the boys to the school carnival. My tummy starts to hurt but i don't think to much about it.. and I put a heating pad on it. Around 8 it is hard to ignore this pain anymore. So at 1030 I call the dr and ask if this is normal they said get to the ER. So in the ER they are thinking i have a perforated bowel is so will have to have an operation. After 2 test nope but my bowel is UGLY the ER Doc says. He is keeping me. They have given me morphine for the pain that is kind of cutting but not quite. So at 3:05 they call for the admitting so I can get a room. By 4:30 I get my room with Miss Poopie Pants. Yes I get in my room and she had pooed all over the toilet. Come to find out also on the floor. Our night assistant has to clean her up from head to toe and the smell..

Saturday I get settled in and get to sleep. I wake up at 630, watch some tv text and miss poopie pants is asleep and quite for now.. they come in to take our vitals and she moans out very loudly when they take her blood pressure. They take mine no big deal.. I get my morphine and antibiotics and I go into my lala land.. Wake up and the morphine is giving me a headache but hey it is killing the pain. I have some friends come for a visit. First my friend Jan Scott comes by and we chat for a while. Kathleen and the Boys came up to see me... More morphine and more sleep Jenny comes by and my boss Lu at the same time... More meds and Jan and her mom comes to see me.. more drugs and i wake up and there is Christy!! Could not stay awake for Christys visit. Saturday Miss Poopie pans does poo in the toilet and it is quite stinky.. in the middle of the night the headache from the morphine is to great and they give me tylonal..

Sunday they change out the pain meds to something else cant remember cause I am in a morphine stupor.. Sunday Jen Scott comes back to see me and Ken our engineer from work. The boys finally get there around 3 Ruth comes at 4. My neighbor decides to poo all over herself again!!! and more stink.. Her daughter comes in and tells her to buck up and get over it she was going to go home but she is not strong enough.. BLAST!!! one more night of poo.. on the bright side she is kind of quite when she isn't complaining or moaning in pain or pooping all over..

Monday comes and I am trying to sleep a bit Ruth comes to see me and Miss Poopie pants strikes again. Ruth runs away here comes miss poopie pants family daughter granddaughter & great grand son.. LOUD cant sleep .. Of forgot to say I have not eaten this whole time.. i am on liquids Chicken broth is not my favorite and forget ever eating jello again!!! Ruth comes back and we chat for a while she leaves to get Mac they are transferring miss pants to a rehab (she had something done with her liver and rubber bands no clue) She leaves.. Oh an joy of joys I get to eat real food.. so my tray comes she is gone it is quite and i am happy as a lark!!! that was short lived!! they transfer a Asian lady into my room no speakadaenglish!!! Her husband comes in first and he works for Shawnee mission he is talking cant understand him but all i am thinking is FOOD!!! i was eating at the time.. yes real food..Ruth comes back with the boys and a pradade of her family comes in the boys and Ruth stay for a while.. its around 7 when i am by myself and all this noise I swear there were 20 or more jammed on her side each family borough in a sack with food in it.. they were eating and talking and loud.. My friend Jeanette comes to see me and we chat till about 10 she leaves and around 1030 her family starts to leave all but 2 Husband and creepy son. ( let me describe creepy son... unkept hair funky face hair weird glasses chester the molester jacket and flip flops oh an mustard colored pants and he stutters in what ever language he is speaking!!!) So at 11 I ask the nurse if she could run them out... she tries they leave by 11 but not for good!! I fall asleep and at 1230 here comes Husband MOMMA, MOMMA she wakes up and says what!! Are you ok .. mind you this is the only english that is spoken!!!!! then we go in to a long conversation and wet smacky kisses and he leaves.. 10 min and here comes creepy son.. talks to mom and drinks what ever she had on her tray.. he leaves and i cant sleep so I turn on the tv.. an hour or so later i turn off the tv and as soon as i hit the button her iv goes off she is sound asleep so I call and they come take care of .. well here comes husband and creepy son by this point I am crying I am tired I am upset that they are not letting me sleep.. her IV blew and they have to fix it.. I can understand being woke up by this but what started my non sleep has me VERY UPSET!! !

Tuesday I tell them that if they keep me 1 more night I have to be moved.. I cant take another night like that.. The nurse that knows Husband scolds him for being so rude to me and he tries to deny that he did any of this through the night. She told him it was noted in the overnight files and he is like OH!! and that is it!! The Dr comes in and says I can go home I am almost in tears I am so happy.. So about 1 I am sprung loose.. I get home and sleep Never want to go through that ever again!!!
