I'm Inpatient

Hi all. I'm starting my own thread because I'm inpatient. Got here a couple days ago. Not feeling well at the moment- queasy with a migraine. They gave me Tylenol, but it's not working. They discussed ibuprofen but I can't take that because it interacts with another drug I'm on.

I got to the ER three days ago. I did that and within 5 minutes they were banging down the outside door! I got my shoes on and TRIED to hurry but I was VERY slow. In fact, they had to help me down the steps to the front door into the ambulance. I spent from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. in the regular ER getting fluids. Then I spent the from 7 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. in the psych ER. Luckily, they gave me a room at the same hospital- I like this hospital's psych department. For one thing, they have computers you can use! So I'm here trying to stay out of my room, but this migraine is really making me want to lay down. The constant nausea is getting to me. I asked my nurse for something for it but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. Just Tylenol isn't going to cut it!

So I'm going to groups and trying to stay out of my room, but I need to talk on the phone with Caleb. It's calming!

I'll check back later. I don't know if I'm up to checking in on the check in thread just at the moment. I gotta go lay back down. The nausea is getting really bad!

Oh! Good news! The nurse just came and gave me some Zofran for the nausea.

I’ve been wondering how you are. Glad your getting taken care of, do try to mingle when your feeling physically better. Glad to hear your at a good hospital. Sorry you had to wait so long tho, man 7am to 2:30 am!!! Take care.

I came here this afternoon to check on you. You sound pretty relaxed, like you're where you need to be right now. Thank you, Moose, for letting us know how you are. Keep us posted when you can. Big hugs

I'm glad you're okay and in a safe place now. Cool that you have internet access too!

I'm so glad you are in a safe place. I hope you are feeling better and will continue to improve.

I'm glad your safe. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you. I'll be thinking of you and checking for you.

I've been in my room all day with a migraine. I threw up twice! I hope I can sleep tonight! Thanks for the posts. They mean a lot.

I wonder how often you can get the zofran. ask!
It is most probably every 6-8 hours but maybe sooner than that.
I am glad that you are feeling safe and are where you need to be.

So many groups today compared to the weekend! Just taking a break after lunch. Feeling better today- no more migraine. The main thing that triggered me the other night when I told this nurse practitioner here what that was this morning and he said "that could really happen!"!!! I can't even talk about it because now I still believe it could happen! Everybody else was asking me if I still believed it so I got to thinking maybe it couldn't or didn't happen. And now this! I don't know what to think about that. I'm back to having my paranoia up! And they keep asking now depressed I am and this morning when I saw my nurse I said I was feeling kind of hopeful, but now I'm not so sure.

Also, they are getting with my regular pdoc to see what she wants to do medicine wise. She won't know because I'm allergic to everything! Her last suggestion just the day before was that I cut my 300 seroquel in half. Well that doesn't help now, does it? Oh well. I can't control what she does.

Migraine still/again but just the nausea. I took a dissolvable tablet - zofran too?- and that's helped. It's nothing near as bad as yesterday with the vomiting and headache!

This guy is playing the guitar again. It's entertaining in the common area. At least I don't recognize what he's playing. That makes it more enjoyable.

I got some discharge paperwork that I need to fill out in the next couple days. Guess I'm going home??

I've been having very vivid dreams since being here. They are ultra real and very colorful, both red-green-blue-wise and content-wise. Last night this is what I wrote down when I woke up: N3 and N2 ages 10 and 12. SpongeBob Land. Everything sparkly and jeweled. Candy and oversized characters. N3 was driving a candy/jeweled car. Falling candy/Jeweled wall. Everything bigger than life. Huge car. Climbing over out in the open individual walls next to each other which were of course jeweled and cubes between them.

I really did think it was real!

In fact, a couple people here were talking about this very thing- that since being here their dreams have been crazy vivid, too!

Glad you're getting some good medical attention and making progress. Let's hope the worst is behind you. Be kind and gentle with yourself. You've had quite an ordeal. Sending healing vibes your way!

Oh- I ran my phone out of battery talking to N3! He was telling me all about his preparations for moving - tomorrow ! AND he was playing the piano for me - how he held the phone I don't know!- which I cherish so I listened to it be plinkity-plink through the hospital phone speaker for a long time because I love him!

J~ I am so happy to know you are safe. Love ya

They are letting me go tomorrow or the next day. Got dizzy and queasy again and threw up- again! I laid down and rested and that helped. Now I'm waiting for some ginger ale to come up from the kitchen. they brought me my lunch- grilled cheese and tomato soup- but no way am I eating that!

I feel for you migraines used to plague me too but after menopause they went away. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry to read about your migraines. I understand them. Maybe saltine crackers? I used to very slowly eat them between sips of the ginger ale and that helped. Definitely not tomato soup, as yummy as that is.

The ginger ale is warm. Meh! But they sent it up that way. I guess it's supposed to be better that way for a queasy stomach? They took my food tray away, so I can't eat the soup anyway. (There was a piece of cheese cake that I was kinda sad to see go on there! )

Still queasy. My blood pressure was a little low when they took it a bit ago- 95/50-something! It probably was really low when I was feeling dizzy!
