My first hospital experience

February 20th, 2011 at 05:00 pm

This was my very first hospital experience. Believe it or not, at my age, I have never been in a hospital. (except for being born) Although, dh had been in a hospital once when he had his appendix out, but he was a teenager. So, this was his first experience in a hospital in a very long time.

The people are so caring and nice. Even the food was decent. The only complaint we had was that the nurses kept coming in to do tests and take blood all night. I came home to be with the dogs, but dh got no sleep that night.

The doctor told him yesterday that he had to take the day off and rest, so he did. (Me too) But he has gone back to work today.

I have 4 $1 bills to add to the challenge.

prev. total $1935.00
today 4.00
new total $1939.00

    OMG - the hospitals are the worst. No sleep allowed! It is terrible. Other than that we had a very pleasant experience with my hospital stay too. I tried earplugs, but they kept waking me up on purpose to take vitals.

    Yeah, the nurses coming in all night was the worst. I've only ever been in the hospital to have babies, and my mom, at 63, is the same way!

    I know what you mean. My husband was operated on a few years back and it was so noisy there and yes they came in constantly to take blood and give either injections or oral medications. They wouldn't let me stay, so I had to go home. I was there almost all day doing for him what the nurses (short-handed) couldn't do.
