Hospital.... problems

[beckyogg]

So I've decided to record the various problems and hurdles I've come across while staying in the hospital thus far. Some of them are funny, some are worrisome, and some are just odd. I'm largely doing this because I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

Uhg. I feel your pain! I've had the idea of writing a book about being in the hospital... half informative, half light hearted and funny for a while now. I still plan on doing it.

I won't let them take my blood sugar in the hospital. I insist on doing it myself, recording it myself and taking my insulin myself. Because they'll come in to check it at 6am.... when breakfast comes at 9am. How is that helpful? Or they'll forget to come in, and my dinner will get cold. Plus my glucometer works on my arm, and the pokey thing is less painful. I refuse them if they try to take it themselves. I keep things up to me as much as possible, to the point where since I got the port, if I call and nobody comes to flush me, the last hospital stay I just got up and did it myself a few times.

Feel better soon!
