Hospital June 8-10, 2021



Won't go into the whole story but I went into the hospital on a Tuesday at 9 AM for a test and before I knew it, or was told, I had a stent put in just above the wrist area, into a clogged artery and woke up to be told not to move my right hand! And that I would be in the hospital overnight which turned out to be 2 nights so what to do? Sure, take pictures of the food, the room, the menus, the outside view, the nurse's chart and the arm!

Here I am 5 days later and don't understand why the arm is redder, more swollen and hurts more than it did Wednesday! I have been given an additional blood thinner making 3 I am taking so, sensibly, at least to me, I reason that I can't have a blood clot!

Was thinking of going to the ER but for a couple of reasons--illogical ones--I will wait and call the doctor tomorrow.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we are having our early evening rain which will make the humidity rise and going out means fogged up glasses!

And how are you doing?? :O)

I don't have to tell you what increased redness could mean so you may be playing with fire. Is the red area hot? AS for the food: I can't make the pictures larger (or separate them), but that one below the arm actually looks like a full tray. Hospital food is usually trash-talked, but Wilson hospital in Binghamton bust double as a resort when patient load is slow. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed anything by mouth until the day before I was discharged and I was having a hard time eating, but not the fault of the food. I had a beautiful chef salad with garlic sticks and lemon marangue pie and I though life was over. Just couldn't get it into my mouth. But anyway, think carefully about the arm before something happens.
