12 Sticks Later And Two Blown Veins I Do Live To Tell The Tail!!!
OK so after my scare of yesterday i am feeling better today, They took out 4ccs because of way to much acid in my stomach. I feel more like a pin cushion today then anything. Trust me an unfill by a Dr that hasn't ever done it before not a good things ugh but here i am living to tell the tail and to go on another day right!! OK look im not putting down any kind of a hospital except for the one closest to me that i will never ever in my life go to and wouldn't let anyone i dis liked go to either, but sometimes i wish that nurse and Dr would take in to account that people in an er are sometimes really in pain and placing more pain on the person isn't nice! And don't get me wrong i understand that they have been there a long while and they are sleepy and they are unhappy at times because its so stressful really it is i know because i have worked in the health care world where sometimes you have to take a 20 hour shift and that sucks. But here is the problem that i do have, its not fair that i was stabbed 8 times with a needle about 11 in long and about a sixteen gauge. I mean everyone in the lap band world knows that its long and it quite big but we also know that they numb it before because let me be the one to tell you IT HURTS! and i have had things pierced and it isn't bad im not like the worlds biggest baby but when your already sore and your already hurting getting 8 piercings in one night isn't fun at all in fact its like cruel almost. And here is another thing since i am on it just in case anyone for the health care world is listening. When a person says please can you get the iv in my hand please because the veins in my arm are not easy to get and they blow easy you might want to listen to that person because no matter how much you learned at school that person knows there own body 110% better then you ever will. Hopefully the sweet man RN will know that next time and not blow up half of someones arm. I don't like hospitals but i know that they have a hard job so i try to be as sweet and nice as i can but its my body and i know more about my body then they do. Same with everyone else. MY dr was on vacation which im not mad about they all need a break and the dr on call, called me this morning to check on me and he was very nice but i was so sleepy i dont remember much of the conversation except he told me never to wait four days and be in pain because that isnt what lap band is for that i could call him if i was ever in that much pain again. i just hope next time he is there and not a dr that hasnt ever done anything with lap band. Please understand that i am not a bitchy person i just think that if someone is already hurting hurting them more never helps right??? so what i have learned is acid sucks, i have to drink liquids even if i don't want to and to call the dr if the pain goes on for more then a day. Lesson learned!
