4:30: The nurse comes in and takes my vitals. No blood work for me today.I tell her that it is still warm in the room and I am uncomfortable. She takes my vitals and then tells me she will go check about getting another room for me.
4:40: The nurse comes back and tells me that I can move to room 513. I grab my laptop bag, hang it on my iv pole. I also grab the pump that pumps my legs to prevent blood clots from happening in my legs from spending long periods of time in one position in the bed. I mainly wear these at night. My dad grabs everything else in the room, bags, clothes, a truck with a plant in the bed of the truck that my mom purchased from the gift shop and a balloon she purchased as well. Hey I needed some kind of decorations in my room!
5:00: We are done moving everything. A bigger room, that’s a relief, not an isolation room. I flip through the channels on TV and find something to watch.
7:30: Shift change, vitals get checked again, temp still normal.
8:00: Breakfast again, yummy!
8:30: I doze back off again as I am tired, doesn’t take much to tire me out.
10:30: I wake up and watch some more TV.
12:00: Lunch time.
1:00: Back to watching some more TV, not much else to do when stuck in the bed.
3:30: My dad and I play a game of chess. I win this round.
4:30: The chess set goes in the window as supper is about to come.
5:00: Supper time.
7:30: Shift change. Vitals, still have a normal temp.
8:00: Back to watching TV. I also get on my laptop and check a few things.
10:30: Still watching TV.
11:45: I turn on my side without the port and start doze off.
11:59: Another day gone, so much fun…
