1. Wake up from one or another machine beeping, ping the nurse to make it stop.
2. Nurse takes care of it. Since you're up she also takes vital signs.
3. Small fever, noted. Back to sleep.
4. Fever getting hotter, very sleepy, can't remember if I already pinged nurse, pinged again.
5. Nurse provides Tylenol and ice packs in strategic locations.
6. In 1-2 hours when temperature starts coming down, try to reorient myself to whatever the heck is going on, by going right back to sleep.
Rinse, repeat.
Hang in there Erin, thoughts and prayers are with you. Your strong will and perseverance will help you overcome this. I will be thinking of you and checking this blog frequently.

ReplyDeleteYup...hospitals can be mundane and a bit boring, and with all the beeping on the floor and constant buzz you take naps. Your body needs this rest for the battle ahead. Keep storing that energy. Checking in, Trish
