Oy. Simplicity for Teddy.
Okay, these people are making up for paying me no mind this morning by throwing all sorts of drugs in varying syncopated rhythms at me.
I'm going to need to have my meds explained to me so I can have the friend make the note.
And damn if dilaudid doesn't make me itch like nobody's business.
And they're being nice--my apology to the day nurse was rebuffed, and she offered to go home and get PJs for me. I'm in the same clothes I taught in last night.
Jesus, ita. Is there anything I can do for you? I hate not being able to help.
Christ, ita, you're still there? I'm sorry.
Has your pain at least decreased, ita?
Are they keeping you over night? is B there with you?
random question
if you have had an exterminator come, have they made you empty ALL of the drawers if you have builtins? They want us to empty all of the bedroom and hallway closets, in addition to all of the kitchen cabinets (which is done! yay me!). I just can't. I'm too tired.
I'm going to do my LAST radio thing at 8.

They have a listen live thingy.
No B, sadly. I was just on the phone with him when my IV slipped out and I started squirting blood all over everything, so I haven't even had a chance to get a daily fix.
Yup. Still here. And no discharge instructions, so here through tomorrow morning at least, unless I leave AMA.
My pain is down from the 9.5 to brought me in to about a 7.5. My normal goal is to get it below 5 before leaving, or 6 if I'm having a drug-induced panic attack.
Now I'm just grumpy, wearing yesterday's clothes now blood-spotted, and haven't been able to sleep despite the dopey drugs, and itching like a mo fo. Which is terribly unfair when you consider the amount of Benadryl I was on before the itching even started.
I think I officially have a dilaudid tolerance. Because of the itching they're alternating it with something...with something pink. Maybe that will help the efficacy.
It's a pink junta thing, right?
Fucking hell, ita. Where are you? I'm feeding Noah then bundling him up with some clothes for you. I'm not remotely a substitute for B, but you should at least have fresh clothes and a toothbrush.
