Home from the hospital
14 years ago
Well, I'm home. They ended up pumping 10 liters of saline into me. Me and the doc had a fight about her treatment modality, especially for not checking up on me till after I was to be discharged. I gained 8lbs of water weight from all the saline. What did they give me for pain? Norcos. Yea, that took the edge off the headache I had after fighting with the doc, that is it. A friend of mine who is a doc got me some Tramadol, and I called the hospital back and they put me on a urinary incontinence drug that is helping quite a bit, along with ibuprofen and cipro for infection.
Im not out of the woods yet though. This stent is to supposedly stay in me for 1 - 2 weeks, though the doctor I talked to at the hospital on the phone said I would be fine having it removed Monday / Tuesday. I am planning on that happening now, and will be setting up an appointment tomorrow / today.
As far as pain goes, I am in constant pain. The drugs help take the edge off a bit, but the pain scale doesn't reach high enough to hit the point of where I'm at. It actually hurts worse now than when I had the kidney stone and infection itself. The only suggestions the doc on the phone could offer is that if the pain gets too out of control, bring all my paperwork with me to a local ER and have them load me up with dilauded, and possibly a prescription for it. Why they didn't do that in the first place, I have no idea. I really am tired of doctors pussying out on administering proper care, including pain management. Vicodin are not the end all be all. I can understand people getting addicted to medications, but that is also why they have the ability to write scripts with no refills unless you have a doctor's order with a new script.
Anywho, enough ranting. I'm loopy from all these meds, and in a ton of pain. I'll check back up on you all again later. Again, thanks for the get well soon comments on here, twitter, facebook, etc. Its greatly appreciated. And a huge thanks to Woody, Furball2k, and Evan Li for stopping by and checking up on me while I was in the hospital. It really meant a lot.
