Missed the whole morning today, off to the hospital for a transfusion that took three hours. I wouldn’t’ve let them catch me if I’d known that.
But yesterday was the living end. We had no sooner started to prepare supper–having visited two more medical facilities, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon–when the &*^%$&% phone rings and surprise, surprise, it’s the flamin’ hospital again! “Yo, patient, you gotta come right back, we just thought of another test for you! And if you’re not here by 6:30, the whole process will have to start over again!” Supper, schmupper.
Today, of course, was the transfusion.
And Monday night is hell night. God preserve us.
Praying for God’s strength and protection for both you and Patty, Lee. Having just come out of a hospitalization myself recently (although not AS oppressive as your experience for you that I’ve followed), my prayers will be lifted up for you!
Thank you… and I wish WordPress would STOP making all the comments by “Someone.”
I wish I knew who you were… but it’s the thought that counts.
Oh, Lee, what tribulation you’re going through. But eventually it will all be over and you’ll feel better than before it all started. Meanwhile, my heart and my prayers are with you and Patty.
I haven’t been commenting much because I’m constantly exhausted these days. But I do read all the posts and comments, and I’m with you and all the “regulars” in spirit – and in my prayers.
And you’re in my prayers, Phoebe, every night.
I know, Phoebe. I know.
There’s no sense of being in control when it comes to surgery, but it sounds as if you are being especially put upon, in this case.
The worst part will be No Sleep Allowed on Monday night.
Never heard of that before. Will you be in the hospital the night before the procedure?
They want me to take a dose at 3:30 a.m. and show up at 5:30 a.m.
No fun, but you’ll only have to do it once.
It’s killing my spirit.
once was way more than enough!
PS–Of course not. No modern hospital would ever be so humane.
Indeed, it’s get ‘em in, get ‘em out, at most hospitals.
You are blessed to be in a US hospital. I’ve seen a few things here that had me shaking my head, and saying, you’ve got to be kidding. In one room I stayed overnight, the toilet didn’t work, no water, no water came out of the faucet for the sink, and other issues. And this building is less than 10 years old. When something breaks or stops working, no one fixes it.
Still praying for you and Patty.
Thanks, we need it!
