On the other side

I tried entering all of this earlier, but the morphine combined with smart phone typing was just not happening.

So, I'm on the other side! I haven't been in too much pain, most likely because of my morphine joystick. The one incision that  would hurt in particular, according to Dr. Liao, is indeed the one hurting. Overall,  I'm most bothered by the catheter, since I constantly feel like I have to pee... it's just going right in the bag. So I'm not to force the pee :'(. The drain isn't too bad.  They ended up doing a good amount of the incisions over the old incisions from when I had my gall bladder removed laparoscopicly 6 years ago. So yay, fewer new scars!

Everyone I've dealt with here has been very nice, though being in my unit, I've had some minor difficulties with having things done timely and correctly. There was a major conundrum with the anti-depressant I take at night, and when it came to actually taking it, they were an hour late and a pill short. I also found out that I'm not allowed to use my pills I bought from home. Instead they have to search high and low.  *rolls eyes* I get the reasons behind it, but it aggravates me. Not to mention that when I did early registration, we went over all of my medications, so why not gather them all up then when you're putting together my chart. That way there's no "oh crap, there's something you have to take?"

Oh well - let's see what the rest of today brings!
