Debbie Cousins's Journal, 28 July 2023

Haven’t seen knee yet. It’s been wrapped in an ace bandage from toes to thigh. PT will come and take that off this morning. They’ll be the ones who decide whether to send me home today. All indicators so far say YES, PTL! Didn’t sleep much at all last night. Maybe 2-1/2 hours total. Took an HOUR, and four requests, to get pain meds this morning. Thank you all for the good wishes, positive vibes and prayers. Yesterday I had less than 900 calories. Didn’t make my 100g protein goal. Can’t remember whether I met Fiber, but I tried. Doing much better on that front this morning. Only drank about 8oz of water yesterday, and 5 cans of Diet Coke. I’ll do much better once I get home, as far as pushing the water. I’ve had about 11oz so far, and only one can DC.

It's so frustrating when they don't come with the pain meds right away, and make you wait. And those machines beeping are so irritating. Hospitals are a mixed blessing. My husband was in Emergency 3 days last month at UCLA and I only got one hour a night of sleep on a straight chair. Hope your pain meds work out at home.

It’s hard to get medicine when you are in the hospital and need it. // Keep your experience in mind for the next time you or your family are in the hospital, and use your cell to call the doc’s office (before 12 on Fridays). Once when my my mom was in the hospital (she had dementia), I ended up putting a sign on her door that said, “Where’s dinner?” They found her a meal, and asked me to remove the sign. I did.

Hang in there. It's always easier once you get back into your own space. Prayers as always.

I hope you got to go home and that you sleep better in your own bed. It's always hard to sleep in the hospital!!!
