Questions on hospital stay

I enjoyed that Baker required the private room and gave me that morphine pump. THOSE SHOTS BURNED like the dickens! I had bruises all over my belly from them!

I'm amazed they let him require a private room! But whatever, I'll take it!!! After my band and band removal I was in the step down unit (picu I think) with the sliding glass doors where they watch you 24/7....did not like that at all!!! Felt like a goldfish in a fish bowl ring stared at all day/night...much more comfortable in a regular room this last time.

I had a private room. Visitors in and out as they pleased. Polite nurses. Always asked about my pain. Would try not to wake me up unless they had to. The interruptions were quick tho - just vital signs, blood sugar and maybe meds. Typical stay is two nights but I stayed a third because I was vomiting.

Whats the belly shots for

Heparin shots to prevent blood clots. They didn't hurt one bit. Potassium IV is a whole other story...

Bring a pillow you can wash....don't want hospital cooties at home!!! I swear the pillow' date=' chap stick, and phone/charger were all I used from home!

And don't moon the nurses, they might hurt themselves laughing!!!!
