I'm still going!
Pretty good day today, last two doses if the first medication today, final dose will be around 0400 Sunday morning, then medication 3 Sunday and 4 Monday.
Last night was a bit odd, tried out the hospital's CPAP... would have been better in a cot on the tarmac at PHL!!! WOW was that thing LOUD!! Lasted about 10 minutes, that was done! Lisa and Trish came up today and brought my laptop and MY CPAP. I also couldn't unwind enough to sleep last night. Between the every 4-hour vital checks, med changes, Igor acting up and my mind all over the place, I finally asked for something around 2. They gave me benadryl... I felt it, tasted it, saw the fireworks, got groggy then got wired! I felt like I had been up for 24 hours tired but wired like I was drinking coffee the whole time PING PING PING. After about a half-hour I wound down enough to fall asleep.
Side effects are being managed well, no nausea/vomiting/acid reflux BUT *I* would get the odd-ball side effect from the Pepcid of random hiccups!! 3 HOUR bout last night!! UGH!! But I'll deal with them over the reflux. Not as bad today, comes and goes.
As I mentioned, Lisa and Trish came up and brought the computer, CPAP and some munchies!! I got freed from Igor for about 2 hours today so the ladies ran down for coffee and snacks while i de-funkified myself. Robyn and AJ stopped up too. Jeff and Abby were planning on coming but Jeff got tied up at work and Abby had an early party. They'll be up tomorrow. Lisa and Trish left to hit the new outlets, no shocker there!!
It was quite a surprise to see Pastor Steve and Christine Shuster walk in!! We had a very nice visit and it certainly can't hurt to share a prayer with the Pastor!!!
Robyn brought up an old scrub shirt and we personalized Igor. We found that unbeknownst to us when we named him, there is a Doctor here named Igor and he is tall and thin!! The staff all laughs when they find out!
The food service has come a LONG way from what I've known! I have a restaurant-style menu to choose from, call down and order up what I want for when I want! And it actually tastes good! French Toast and sausage this morning, cheesesteak for lunch and roast prok, mashed and broccoli, chocolate cake for dinner!!
