I'm Inpatient

They were going to send me to partial for two weeks from 8:30 to 4 every day M-F. But, then they came and told me they were keeping me until Monday instead. I'm so glad I'm not going to partial! I was going to have to drive all the way to the West side of another town near here and I didn't know where it was. This weekend, N3 doesn't have a car to drive- with he'd learn his stick-shift car!- so he's going to drive mine. I hope he's careful!

Also, Sunday is N3's 20th birthday but I'm going to miss it. I don't even know what we're doing for his birthday anyway. Speaking of N3, he moved yesterday, but can't get his furniture out of my mom's neighbor's garage because the power is out in my mom's neighborhood! AND, N1 has stuff in my MOM'S garage and is moving tomorrow! I sure hope they fix this power outage soon. At least my mom has a generator for their fridge/freezer and the ipads/phones.

They just did my vitals- all good. Two nights ago when I was freaking out, my bp was 170-something over 115 or something crazy.

I just got out of stretch group and that is SOOO relaxing! The music and the stretches- never mind that there was a golden retriever working dog there just laying on the floor and looked so calm! Plus, he's so soft.

I got in "trouble" earlier for staying in bed all morning and ruminating. Glad I was made to get to stretch group!

This NP that's been working with me saw me writing an email to my pen pal/friend and said "Don't put personal information on your blog"- as if he were giving me a helpful hint. I told him it's an email. I hadn't even thought of updating my blog. (I forget the password right now anyway.)

I don't know what to do with the rest of my afternoon. Maybe I'll try calling Caleb. But twice now I've run my phone out of battery! (At night, but still....)

The nurse practitioner on my team just came and told me to stay out of my room and to socialize with the rest of the patients. Oh- and I'm supposed to eat my meals. I think this guy - NP- just went home for the weekend but will be back Monday.

is the food their any good?

here the food sucks!. honestly, the last time I was IP, I did not eat once while I was their.

smell put me off, look put me off, the fact others didn't eat it put me off.. I remember once few years ago getting so fed up with the food throwing it across the room. lol

The food is decent. But I usually end up picking at it or not eating it. They got on me for not eating my breakfast this morning. Plus it makes me queasy to smell. I don't know what's up with that - I'm 49 and I had my tubes "tied" and I have an IUD for heavy periods so I know I'm not pregnant.

I posted an update in the check-in thread but essentially I'm released but my mom can't get me until 7:15 tonight! That's over 6 hours from now. UGH. I guess I'll be going to groups just for something to do.

Sounds like a good idea!
