The hospital sucks

[Ms. Porkchop]

Staying in the hospital for a few days sucks because of the lack of internet and the food sucks.

Last year I had my gall bladder removed in emergency surgery, which sucked but I thought after that I would be fine. WRONG.

Back on Wednsday or Thursday, I started feeling really sick and having these horrible pains. We were moving on the weekend so I toughed it out until we were done moving and Sunday night I went to the hospital. I really didn't want to go, but I ended up passing out at the grocery store and my mom convinced me to go.

We went to an emergency center, which is like a mini hospital and then ended up transferring me by ambulance to the actual hospital.

It turned out that I had some stones stuck in my common bile duct and they were making my liver enzymes really high. So on Tuesday, they did a scope and got the stones out.

I ended up staying in the hospital from Sunday until Wednesday (yesterday).
The only fun part of being in the hospital was all the drugs they gave me. I was pumped full of morphine and at night they gave me an Ativan so that I could relax and sleep.

Now I'm home, coming down from all the meds and I'm cold and feel like I have little bugs crawling on me. ick. BUt I'm off work until MOnday so I'm just gonna try and relax the rest of the week.


Did I miss anything amazing?

Just a bunch of drama about bringing back negative rep or not. Bonanza threatened to leave. It was hilarious.

Then neg rep was brought back yesterday, if only for the day. Then the neg rep was turned into positive by Valk. It was a good time to be a dick. I missed out on it naturally.

The bugs crawling thing must be the drugs, but I wouldn't really know... all I know is I hate that feeling.
Glad to hear it wasn't anything, you know, deathly serious and you're mostly okay now.

Not really. Den made some lame april fools spam topics, and then Palk set the rep machine to warp factor 9.

I'm glad you're feeling better. It's pretty tough to recover when they're feeding you nothing but hospital food (aka: inedible garbage). When I was in the hospital, there was usually only one food item on the entire plate that wasn't completely repulsive.

Re: The hospital sucks

I actually wasn't allowed to eat from Sunday night until Wednesday morning so I just had an IV.

...the food sucks.

I guess the smell alone is bad enough?

Re: The hospital sucks

I ate a small bit of it after Wednesday morning. I was allowed to eat after having my scope.

Re: The hospital sucks

That sucks, glad to hear you are alright.

I for one never have stayed overnight in a hospital, hopefully you won't have to again!

When I spent a week in the hosipital, all I could eat was Jello. Then another 3 weeks at home with the stuff.

I couldn't touch the Jello for over 5 years after that

Glad to hear you are doing better... I remember in Biology 12 our teacher said if we ever heard the word Scope in a doctor's office to run, screaming.

Re: The hospital sucks

Yeah Sez, I was in too much pain. When I met with the surgeon he was giving me a few options, I was really high on morphine and said " Look buddy, I don't care what you do, just don't kill me and I wanna be so medicated that when I wake up in recovery I don't know what day it is."

He laughed and we talked about record collections while he got my drugs ready. He has a 800 album collection that his wife makes him keep boxed up in the garage!

Let's just hope this last hospital visit does the trick.

Re: The hospital sucks

I've been in the hospital for almost a week on more than one occasion, and the food was actually pretty decent. Granted, I had gone from about 160 lbs to about 130 within the span of 3 months, so ANY food was$good at that point.


Then later, I did a research study for some meds where I stayed in the hospital for about 17 days, at one of the premiere hospitals in Illinois for this sort of thing, and the food was actually really good.








Yes, they were hospitals for loonies!
