It ends today
Apr. 30th, 2021 08:51 pmIt is the last day of class. 1001 students crawling out of the woodwork about their grades. Where have you been for the last 14 weeks? I'm out of time to make tests and read papers. I'm not done and I am stressed.
today is my last full day here so let me tell you how stressful that is. It began with a strange morning but hey found my vaccination card so hurrah for that. So far bad arm pain and some GI upset seems to be the worst of shot 2.
Then came this question What would I do if I wasn't a doctor? They just came with my 'delayed prescription.' Meanwhile it's nothing I've ever heard of. It treats glaucoma and epilepsy. Since I have neither and was never spoken to about a 'new med' for pain I'm like take this away (it doesn't do pain) and then the night nurse came back with my new 'pain med.' You know the one, the one I don't remember being prescribed and is a freaking diuretic for glaucoma that none of us have ever heard of (in case it had an off script use)
In the middle of this the social worker came because I asked huffy with me. I'm leaving here without equipment I need (and can't get because you can't order cross state lines) because of YOUR failure. This is not on me. This is the wheelchair with the raised leg. Why didn't anyone say this when I mentioned that the equipment people failed 2 weeks in a way to give me the stuff.
And during the job interview we were conducting today, I had an ice bag on my knee. My leg is relatively numb so I didn't feel the bag leaking. My bed is soaked. My brace is soaked. The aid apologized for not seeing the bag had a hole. No one changes the bed...I didn't even realize it was THIS soaked until hours later so I just got some chucks to sit on and let the brace dry. SIGH.
I couldn't gag down dinner tonight and gag is the operative word. It wasn't bad it's all on me. I'm just nervous about the pain on the drive tomorrow I think.
( if you want to see my legs without the stitches. It's not too gross )
