Loungers...I have missed you ...was in the hospital for 5 days |
|
I had pancreatitis
that is one painful thing to have
then some of the things the hospital did was even more painful
Potassium drip IV hurts like a motherfucker
Arterial blood gas test OMG
I look like a pin cushion and am black and blue all up and down both arms
then even tho I am not a diabetic my blood sugers were all wacked out so every finger has been poked

I'm so sorry!
Did they keep you away from food...even the smell of food?
How are you doing now??

3. I was NPO for 3 and 1/2 days |
|
I couldn't even look at food
still really haven't gotten an appetite back
I eat because I have to
nothing tastes good or even sounds good
infact, everything smells and tastes like medicine
I am on the road to recovery but still weak and still in considerable pain

I've had it twice...so I understand.
I hope you got some good pain killers in there.
Take good care of yourself!
I'll say a prayer for you.

5. Oh my! I hope you are better now. Being in the hospital does |
|
suck - sometimes the "cure" is worse than the ailment.
I was hospitalized for ovarian cysts once and they gave me some super strong stuff via IV that burned my veins so bad. I was crying and just begging them to take the IV out. They applied warm compresses to my arms and that helped some. You could actually see the veins in my arm through my skin all reddened. They had to start an IV in the other arm so they could switch off the dosing and give each arm a break between doses.
Did they figure out what caused your blood sugars to get out of whack?
Welcome Back! Please feel better and take care!

6. that burning sounds like what I went though with the potassium |
|
the pancreas controls the insulin ect in your body so the illness played a part of the blood suger stuff but also I was NPO for so long and nothing but IV fluids so
the first labs showed my BSL at like 45 which is way low, so they gave me a sugar bolus something then it spiked really high so then after that it fluxuated back and forth finally the last day it was steady around the 95 levels...

13. Oh, that is horrible! |

I am glad you are back.
I was in the hospital for six days in January, and it sucked.
Take it slowly, rest and heal.
