So hate making a post like this…

Time in hospital - hoping for Friday - likely Monday/Tuesday though. Home the first week will be a test.

They have given me anti nausea meds with morphine.

Nurses - average here, some nice ones in the step down units. Unfortunately- can’t take any pics in ICU (claim hippa and fact everything is open. I wanted to record this old black lady who just won’t shut up - 6am it starts with screaming “doc” - not angry - just how she talks.

Different experience honestly - going to urinate and having some nurse watching

She probably doesn’t even need to watch but enjoys watching.

Hope so - I’m able to get up and move with minimal assistance - which is nice.

Hard learning to pick yourself up with your legs - can’t push off using your arms at all.

Vitals all good and minimal/no pain.

God, have no idea how people work as nurses - much less aides. Nurse your at least paid well to be an ass wiper / aide making $14.50 an hour wouldn’t seem worth it - but thank god someone does it. Getting old sucks - don’t plan on repeating this experience for a few decades - big wake up call seeing what life is like in a hospital.

My wife is a nurse.
She says, it comes with the job and she doesn't even think about it being bad.

Its so good that you are up and about. Recovery is so much faster when people move (walk or even bed excercises). Hopefully, they gave you a chest pillow to hold to help you remember to not use your arms.

yeah those are part of sternal precautions, as you feel better and get home you will be tempted or even forget to adhere. drill them into your brain to let the bones heal.

Salute to all our nurses. The superhero of modern times.
