So....here is the latest! LOL I'm such a quack...anyhow.
What a weekend. I had no nurses for Saturday or Saturday night. So after Tim watched his midnight shows, i called 911 for assistence in getting Tim to bed. I'm still unable to lift due from my surgery. I was doing my routine with Tim after he is bed when suddenly he needed to be suctioned. It is something you usually have to do with folks on ventilators. Anyhow, he could not catch his breath or anything and instead of suctioning the 2 x's I do I fnd myself suctioning more than I should have. I got so fustrated and then he started to complain of pain in his right chest and then popping noise. Well I didnt like that! so I called 911 back. they couldn't hear anything but it still didn't sound right so I told them to take him in so he can get xrays.
Well I got there....and there were still working on him and then did xrays. well they saw something so they did a cat scan. Well low and behold, there it is- a pnuemothorax - a collapse lung. Ouch!! Tim's nurse, Nancy sat with him for a while so I can get some sleep. They admitted him into MICU . He is currently stable but still have some infections n his lung-but they don't think it is pnuemonia. The collopse lung or pnuemothorax is small so the chest tube didn'thave to be put in. But he is on IV's and all kinds of stuff to monitor his b/ p and stuff.
He is wide awake and joking and laughing and teasing he nurses.
Meanwhile...lol...I'm stil in great alot of pain. I broght the air mattress in since this chair thing is gosh really uncomfortable. and my heating pad too. I am smelling chicken salad. I'm also hungry for the steak and shake burgers. lol but it hurts to eat as well. so I've been careful with I eat. Hey -their cafeteria has a big changed and now they take debit cards!!! its like thank you Jesus!!! what a difference. Food is better too! compliments to the new cafetaeria manager! 2 thumbs up!
anyhow...I'm lying down to rest and then back to "work" as I help mysister with calls. Have a few pages yet to schedule folks.
I just wish the pain would just stop and let me do things but my old body is being stubborn. maybe that is why it is stubborn-its old! LOL ha!ha!ha/!ha! my feet is cold! time for All My Children- later folks!
