(i named the iv pole/pump during my last hospital stay.. i hadnt slept very well.. and fellt like poo.. and was so tired that i was goofy.. so i named the pole.. and told the nurse that it really needed to be decorated with some colorfull feathers.. and some googley eyes.. and all that jazz.. the nurse laughed at me... and said yeah your right.. then told me to go to sleep in my ice box..--my room-- it was cold cold in there as i made them turn the heat off and bring me a fan.. and it was in the month of january! hahahaha!I was like you think this is cold you should go walk into my bedroom!But anywasy I'm off.. and I am looking forward to feeling HUMAN at least for a few hours!! and being abkle to eat with no pain!! how it helps that.. I really dont know!! but it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn202 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 i'm so happy for you! I really relate to you b.c I went through a similar situation for years...Now I feel SO lucky to just have to make a phone call and a nurse comes here puts a line in and I can hook myself up whenever I feel like it.... Its like a miricle!My IV pole becomes my buddy on some weeks.... I just carry him around with me wherever I go...I have gotten pretty talented with him.. I can actually vaccum clean and cook all with him in tow! LOL!Hope you feel a lot better today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Belinda Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hooray Dizzy..I am so happy finally for you...Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hooray==hope the IV helps. You have quite a long day. At least once a week I get 2 litres of IV fluids--it takes about 3.5 hours. My cardiologist says that the drip can be fast since I am not in cardiac failure. Also, the doctor says that a bolus drip provides more relief.Bring some stuff to keep you occupied!Drink Up!!!Lois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzygirl Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 thanks folks!!well i had my infusion.. geez!! what along day!!I just got home..
