Small update; vampires wanted more blood; my CBC showed an infection so I guess the ear infection still exists. Head CT scan showed I have a lovely concussion from hitting the display. My blood pressure has ticked up a few points; still super low though. Heart rate refuses to budge.

My primary doc came for a little visit apparently he was working this weekend and was alerted than I found myself in a hospital. He wanted to make sure I was doing alright; he also wants to see me after I am released so I can't escape his office either; so he can check the head wound. He also told me to put down the textbook/laptop and rest. I honestly don't know how to rest finals are next week and I want either President's List; or Vice President's list.

He thought M was the ex C. Nope; best friend/person I have feelings for. There is also that office pole of when; sadly everyone lost since everyone guested by the office Christmas Party. I feel it will be soon since he refuses to leave the chair in my room. He also said he would be spending the night.

R brought me pajamas so now I can ditch the hospital gown since my shirt has buttons, I had to fight with a nurse and a hospitalist since they wouldn't let me use the bathroom since I am fall risk. They threatened a cath; I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom in spite; pissed the hospitalist off completely, which is okay because it was a NP and I really don't like them, the new one is a PA for the night shift; he told me have a nurse accompany me to the bathroom. I win that battle.

I am hooked up to a lot of IV lines and bags; I quite like IV Tylenol it's made the concession headache evaporate and has kicked my fever down a few pegs. I also have antibiotics, fluids with salt, and Levophed. I can count like five odd bags of medication plus my standard pills.

My nieces can't visit since they are not 16 and that's the visiting age; which is dumb since I am technically stable, it's not like I have a vent or a chest tube oozing blood. My Aunt dropped by; I also called my parents and Skyped for about 10 minutes. I've worried them, and told them about the new car in hopes dad screaming would raise my blood pressure; didn't even budge. He's mostly mad that isn't an American Made car; and Nissan's in his mind are a piece of junk.

I cannot have a shower since I am a fall risk, my hair is a bloody mess; literally it's in a nasty top knot. On the plus side I have hypoallergenic cardiac leads and I'm not itchy at all. Cardiologist told me I could have pulled the monitor off after 24 and called his office and told them I had an allergy.

I could do without the old guy in the room next to me screaming for bacon, granted thin glass walls meant I got to hear a fun argument between him and the Cardiologist. He walked in on me eating a big fat burger and didn't say anything. I think he hoped it would raise the blood pressure. M also brought me a milkshake with the burger. I am glad it wasn't hospital food.

I realize I said small update that wasn't so small.

Correction: not an IV it's a PICC line; M corrected me that you don't put Levophed directly through an IV. I'm Admin not a nurse lol

Hugs to everyone
