12:10am new saline bag. walked around room a bit. ashley becoming quite the pro at connecting & disconnecting all the devices & cables. 🙂
2:50am back was tired so got up & walked around room. came & took my vitals since i am up 😉
i’ve dozed off a couple times but i’m sure ashley hasn’t slept a wink!
04:05am sigh…. my favorite pros cant stick me 🙁 … got up walked around room, heat pack….
04:35am success…. blood drawn… wait on labs now….
6:20am meds delivery 😉 walk abt room a bit
6:50 gonna sit in chair a while….
8:30am been sitting/walking since earlier. ashley left & jeff on his way up 😉 sitting doesnt sound very impressive but i’ve convinced myself it’s progress 😉
9:45am jeff is here now & i spent all morning walking or in chair. ate breakfast in chair. kinda tired now but was hoping to get the lab results. gonna rest for a while… keep ya posted.
10:30am successful ptt blood draw… its taking them longer to even find veins & then they dont always bleed good. while they have one they’ve been grabbing every ounce 😉 got up and walked around some but back to napping it is.
11:00am labs results from earlier hemoglobin 9.8 & hematocrit 30 ptt 45
11:20am changed the heparin drip… still not theraputic
11:40am vitals 101, 65 po 85
12:30pm nap interruptus by very loud wrong number… and i was comfy with a nice warm cooked blankie!
1:05pm gonna start the xeralto tonight, then discontinue heparin, call in ot/pt people to make sure i can function at home…. maybe go home tomorrow.
3:15pm the iv alarms are set to only go off if i’m dozing off with a warm blankie… cant start xeralto till around 8pm so in a hurry up and wait pattern.
5:50pm xeralto in, heparin off, dinner (or something) served
7:10pm NO, NO, NO laughing…. even if i started it!!!
9:00pm changing of the guard, courtney is here, she made me laugh… i had to kill her 😉
