From the hospital again

It’s 7:30 am here at Perrysburg Mercy Hospital. This is day 3- I came in Sunday since it seemed my feeding tube had been displaced. Kept overnight to have surgery yesterday. Unfortunately, that was unsuccessful in replacing the tube in the same track, and couldn’t find spot for new one. So another sleepless night here last night- can ANYONE sleep in a hospital without good drugs?

Now I wait- for the Interventional Radiologist. He/she only comes here on Thursday. They’re going to try to get him here, otherwise we take an ambulance ride to St Vincent’s. I’m praying it’ll be today either way.

I am, quite literally, starving to death. I’ve had no food for about a week. Is that good while recovering from cancer?

Very soon I can be cast in movies as “starving patient #1”. And our food bill has dramatically decreased the last few months, which is good since I haven’t earned any money basically since the new year? Anyone know if I qualify for SSI? How do I do that? I can’t sell plasma anymore.

Hopefully, my next post will have more humor and more good news. You can look forward to: “Feeding tube meals- does taste matter?” Later: “Let’s compare medical groups in Toledo” and “Toledo’s Hottest Nurses”. Stay tuned!
