Hospital Update

Not sure whats up with the ad in the middle of my blog?!

Thanks to one of my great friends, my stay hasn't been to bad! Julie has kept me fairly entertained.

Yesterday was a bit rocky. The new beta blocker knocked me out. I couldn't keep my eyes open. My blood pressure dropped very low last night and was still really low this morning. I got up and moved around, which brought my heart rate up to 113 and my pressure up to high (I also got dizzy and felt like I was going to float away... I'd rather have been on a cruise). My APN came in and said that's all part of inappropriate sinus tachycardia. The Doc came in about 2 hours ago and said on the monitor things are looking good- even with the fluctuations- the meds are doing what we need them to do.

I did get in "trouble" for just sitting a reading. I was told to get up and walk around the unit. I told him I never get to just sit :P As boring as this all is, it's kind of nice to not have to wash laundry or dishes! I miss my kids like crazy and am ready to go back to it all though.

I did not sleep last night. I finally went to sleep around 1am and at 4:30 I was woken up for an EKG and labs. A lady rubbing your arm with alcohol to wake you up doesn't make you happy, let me tell you! At 5:30 (I had just gone back to sleep) they came in to do vitals.... And, at 6:30 my step dad brought me IHOP.

Fairly uneventful here. My kids have been by to visit, but aren't able to stay long b/c they dont do confined spaces for long periods of time.
