First - I'm 46 and have been somewhat anemic all my life. If you read the last post you'll know why I'm here.
It's now 4:15 am and ... I must have made someone here upset as they gave me a LASIX pill last night. If you're EVER given one of these, palm it and toss once the health worker leaves, well maybe not (YES REALLY!)
I've had to pee in something hospitals call a "urinal" all night long (it's been 10-15 times, all while sitting on the edge of the bed, and the dang thing keeps getting about 1/4 or more full EACH TIME (thanks LASIX ...).
It's not much fun to almost (or actually) urinate on the floor a bit (at least they have wet wipes. I am astounded at how much pee I must have stored up, I mean it's up and down so much the RN's and CMA's don't bother with my bed alarm (when you get out of bed without them there it dings, if they're there they turn it off.)
I've also had some freaky dreams here in the ward, and I think it's a combination of having more blood than I'm used in my body to, and all of the many differently colored view screens. I woke up all discombobulated around 1 am (hard to sleep with blood and Saline mostly non-stop flowing to my left arm and the are-you-still-alive-monitor stickies by 3M and cables on my right. With the lights popping around I had these crazy light box performances visible while my eyes were closed.
Oh and these "gowns..." No sequins?
