Well, I got one of my wishes. Sort of.

I’ll be busy until next Monday or so. Well, I don’t know if sitting around in a hospital qualifies as busy.

But, given my previous hospital stays, I feel uncomfortable for a couple of days, level out, and then sort of enjoy it.

So… I think it’ll go the same this time. Who knows. I might actually gain a little weight too.

Yesterday, I * finally * saw a doctor about the wound. He looked at it and did the medical equivalent of “ick..” He called his boss who was in neurology. He also said “ick.”

And, finally after two months of drainage and fighting infection, I was admitted to a hospital.

Today, around two, I’m supposed to have an operation to clean and try to correct. Yesterday evening was a CT scan to plot out where it is.

I didn’t sleep more than maybe three hours because it was difficult to get used to the new bed and the mattress rubbed against the wound causing it to stain the pillows.

I can’t eat or drink until after the procedure although I’ve been gulping down any water they’ve brought to take the pills. it’s not even nine and I’m feeling weak.

Admittedly, I don’t eat a lot in the morning but I’m missing my yogurt and whipped cream like something fierce.

But this is good. It’s getting taken care of and if I got to skip lunch and breakfast, so be it. I had dinner here and the grilled chicken was the consistency of dog food. Maybe it’ll be better today.

I have been permission to walk around the halls as long as I bring the IV drop thing with ne. ** Definitely ** doing that. The hip and back are cramping like something horrible and I’ll just feel better if I can move around a bit. It’ll also help pass the time.

I’ve caught up on games and pushed forward in New Horizons a bit but got a bit frustrated because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do. That game really doesn’t have an overarching goal and a lot of it seems to be random. I’m sure once I’m past the newbie stage I’ll enjoy it more. Just taking it in small doses right now. At some point, I’ll try to find the five things I need for Blathers so he can open his museum or I’ll just look it up.

I’ve found Futurama on TV so, there’s that too. At least the channel selection isn’t a complete cesspool.

I have an IV starter in my right hand and my left arm has been stuck for various blood draws and injections multiple times. Only the last one burned.

As guessed, I’m receiving all medications, including the Prozac, although Gemtesa isn’t available. There isn’t a generic of it.

At one point, I’ll be moved from an observation room to a proper one with, hopefully, my own bathroom.

So… yeah… That’s me in the past 24 hours.

FINALLY.
Some sort of resolution… although I won’t get to see mom as much when all this is over. I like seeing mom and spending some productive time with her, even if it is just ten minutes or so.

But it must bother her to see my slow degradation despite the efforts to improve.

I had a feeling that something was going to happen so I made sure all the towels are folded all the towels for Jason. Notified Bryant that I may have to leave the class depending on the results from today. Notified the class. I even packed the house slippers. Canceled the chiro I had for tomorrow and may have to reschedule the root thing for Monday.

This isn’t my first time around.

Again… I’m thrilled to be here. I am. Despite everything.

I just wished that mom’s priority yesterday wasn’t to make sure I had lunch before we got here. I had left over Yummy Bowl for lunch. I wasn’t hungry. I was prepared.

But that’s what was brought up at least twice.

I’m sure it came from a good place but it was just frustrating.

Okay… on my dance card… It’s 9:30.

Going to walk the halls for a bit. Come back. Check the class. Play or read something. Wipe down and off to the mysterious procedure.

Could be worse.

Thank goodness for the little sister winning back my insurance.
