I just read the dinner thread and decided I probably needed to let you all know what's going on. I hate feeling like a whiner and putting it all out there but too many of you were wondering what's up. Thank you so much for all the prayers and good thoughts. You have no idea how much they mean to me I went to the ER on Sunday and spent 11 hours getting fluids and pain meds. The doctors think I'm obstructed or at least partially obstructed. I had an appointment yesterday afternoon with my GI's NP who after looking over the results from the labs and scans on Sunday decided that I needed to be admitted to the hospital for continuous fluids, IV steroids and pain meds in the hopes that things will start to turn around. A Hospitalist is taking care of me with a GI on consult. The Hospitalist has been in several times today fine tuning things. The GI stopped in this evening and she is thinking I'll need to hang around here for at least another few days. I don't mind too much, they put me in a very large private room was th wifi, the nurses I've had have been incredibly sweet, my DD's office is across the street so she's able to stop in to visit between patients and the room is on the new mother ward so I hear babies and young happy voices I keep telling myself things could be a lot worse, right? If you have any extra prayers or positive thoughts I'd sure appreciate them

Kathy, you are NOT complaining or overreacting. My MIL has had obstructions before, and they're incredibly painful. My MIL is a very strong woman and has an incredibly high pain tolerance.
I'm glad that you're getting great treatment and hope that your issues resolve soon. The wifi at the hospital has kept me sane often. I've been able to stream TV shows and movies over it. If you don't already subscribe to Hulu and Netflix, they both offer a free month trial. I'm watching Remington Steele on Hulu right now.
I'm glad that your nurses are so great. I've rarely had a bad nurse. I love hospitalists because usually it means that getting new orders takes much less time since their is someone in the hospital 24/7.
I'm so impressed that your doctor is checking in with you so often. She's a great doctor!
I hope you get to go home soon.

Hospitals suck. You rock. This is unfair incarceration. Still, you're in the best place for treatment and healing. My prayers and positive thoughts are coming your way in droves. Hospital tip, so that you don't go nutso: shower at different times each day. Then you have something to look fwd to. A great nurse gave me that advice and it is true. Thinking of you. Peaing isn't the same w/o our akathy.
