Stay Strong

Reporting live from Yale New Haven Hospital....this is Jen.

But seriously, for those of you who do not know, I was admitted to Yale New Haven around eight this morning.  My parents rushed me to the hospital on Goose Lane around three this morning.  My stomach was acting up and there was a lot of blood.  On top of that all, I was experiencing a vaso vagal moment because of all the blood loss.  Which means I was a hot sweaty mess who could not walk at all in my own house.  Dad and Chris had to help me out.

One moment, the cuff is taking my blood pressure and it hurts.

Okay so back on track.  I ended up riding an ambulance from Goose Lane to here around seven.  This level I am on is between ICU and the regular floor.  I think it's called the step down maybe?


Anyway, I have a blood pressure cuff on that comes on five of every hour.  I have IV's in both of my arms and when they needed to get blood again, had trouble finding veins in my hands.  Wonderful.  Right at the moment, my left arm kills because the stuff they are putting into me hurts a bit and the numb stuff wore off.  So it's a dull pain in my elbow.  Gross.


I also get to hear some crouchy old lady, or at least what I'm assuming is a crouchy lady, complain about morphine across the hall.  Or maybe it's remote control.  She's been a pain all day.


Greg and Beiber visited me today which was a complete surprise to wake up to.  Beiber wanted to steal my hospital  socks but I told him it was not going to happen.    Although I had to recheck about an hour ago to make sure he really didn't.


I'm here in the hospital for a few days.  They haven't given me a date when I can leave but it seems like it's going to be mid week.  Booo.  I just want to eat again.  I haven't had any food since yesterday and then I barely ate. 


Okay there is probably more to report, but I'm tired and  trying to type this with one cripple finger is not fun.  I'll update as best I can when I have the chance.  Thanks for the well wishes everyone :)
