Highlights of my hospital stay

  • Sitting in the Urgent Care waiting room with my parent's for 3 hours
  • Becoming the "hard blood draw patient" and getting stuck not once but 3 times by 3 different nurses
  • watching my Dad's face as they tried to get the blood draw and knowing he could have gotten it on the first try
  • Busting out in tears during my CT scan because I was tired, scared and HUNGRY.
  • Telling my Doc that since he was going to admit me, I was bring my dog. He said No.
  • The really comfortable bed on the surgery floor.
  • Asking the Doc if he was sure it wasn't just a pulled muscle
  • Asking the nurses if it was just Grey's Anatomy that made me think this or were Surgeons really cool.
  • My family frantically calling Mike's friends to try and locate him before I went into surgery.
  • Telling my nurse that he wasn't getting my engagement ring off my finger because I had waited 7 years for it and it wasn't coming off.
  • Waking up in the recovery room and asking for Mike
  • Ripping off my nasal cannula and telling the nurses that I didn't need it and watching Mike laugh
  • My mom sleeping on the couch next to me all night and waking up with me every two hours.
  • My sister cleaning my house when I got home
  • My MIL bringing me a delicious dinner and beautiful flowers
  • Clingy dogs that know I am sick
  • Waking up Mike in the middle of the night to clean up my puke and him not remembering it in the morning
  • Really great nurses and my wonderful family that never left my side
