First Hospital Stay

My first hospital stay sucked!

Pain and vomiting were horrible but the tests were almost worse.

One good time:

My stomach was really bloated,

and I continued puke.

So the Dr. decided to put a tube down

my throat and into my stomach.

Let me just tell you that I had a very heated discussion

with the nurse who came into my room with this tube.

The conversation went like this:

Nurse: I'm gonna have to put this in your nose then slide

it down your throat into your stomach.

(he then hands me a glass of water and tells me to drink

out of the straw to help move the tube down)

Me: Ummm, no I'm not doing that. You are going to

have to figure something else out.

Even though I was very rude, the nurse just started

pushing the tube into my nose and I basically had no choice.

Then I received all kinds of anti-nausea,

pain, anxiety meds.

So I sort of doze off.

When I wake up, my hand immediately

goes to my face.

And let me tell you, when you doze off

and kind of forget what

is going on and then feel

tubes and tape on your face.

Well I FREAKED!

And pulled the tube out.

Once I did that monitors started beeping

and nurses started running.

Needless to say they were not happy.

So again I had to do the same process

all over again.

Then I get more night night drugs

aka anxiety knock you out quick meds.

While I was out, the nurse taped up

my whole face so that I couldn't pull the

tube out again. During this time, my

husband had gone to get something to eat,

so when he came back and saw me all

taped up, he was a little shocked.

In between tubes, I puked

with the tube in my stomach and let me

tell you that was not cool.

Not sure why this came to mind, but it is

sure a fun thing to remember.
