Sorry for the cross post... only have the energy to write this once!

My Mom is doing a little better today. I haven't been up to the hospital since

yesterday morning when a hospital lab tech set off my allergies with his nasty

fragrance.

Although I left the room right away I was pretty much done. Once I got back

into my Mom's room to take all my meds it was pretty much too late and the

nurses decided I was going to the ER whether I wanted to or not. And I did NOT

want to go because of the way I ALWAYS get treated, horribly!

I think I was down there about 2-3 hours and got back up to the Stepdown Unit in

time to talk to Mom's doctors before they too sent me home so I wouldn't be the

second family member on the unit as a patient.

As you can imagine in the time I was in the hospital with my Mom I pretty much

ignored taking care of myself in most ways, the most noticeable one being that I

did most of my running around the hospital and such without my crutches which my

legs are very loudly screaming about at the moment. also the reason that it is

currently 0215 Saturday morning and I am not sleeping. Not because I am not

sleepy but because I am in so much pain!

I am going to try taking more ibuprofen (and benadryl) and some ativan

hoping it will knock me out enough that I sleep good ,and long.

My Mom seems to be out of danger since they took the Bipap machine out of her

room today she said when I called so I am hoping for the best! But definitely

not holding my breath because of Karma or 's Law or whatever you want to

call it.

Hugs to all!
