Me too, Chrissy!

Like .02 units of dilaudid every 3 hours could help her pain!! Yikes!

I spoke to her tonight, and after suffering through that all night her

surgeon finally showed up and got her all straightened out. I guess

he had to make some heads roll before they would give her adequate

pain meds. He was also ticked off because they hadn't even paged him

when she was admitted, even though her nurse told her to " expect him

any time " last night.

When they've got the records right there, it's irritating to think

that they wouldn't even look at them and see that she's tolerant of

pain meds and would need a higher dosage to manage her pain. After

her doctor showed up and got her straightened out she seems to be in

much better spirits, and is hoping, perhaps, to go home tomorrow.

With love, hope and prayers,
