Today has been hell!!

Well sleeping wasn't that great, my husband had to go back to work and he works midnights so he wasn't here with me and then it seemed like every hour a nurse was coming in to give me breathing treatments, check my oxygen levels, take my blood pressure and take blood. Vacation... this is no vacation!

Today I walked a lot to try an relieve my gas pains that I have built up inside of me, but nothing will come out!! So I walk and walk and walk... I've even resorted to swaying back and fourth like I did when I was in labor with Morgan...lol

The doctor came in a few different times to check on me and then he reported to me that my hemoglobin was high and he wanted it to come down before I went home so I had to wait 6 hours before they would check it again to see if it came down any.

After on of my walks I was sitting in the chair and I felt wetness dripping from my stomach so I quickly pulled up my gown to see what it was and my pain pouch was all out so the medicine and blood was backing up and leaking from the tape... I was so scared... Ryan ran out into the hall and luckily the doctor was right their and he came in a took a look and was like "oh its okay" excuse me this is not okay I thought. But then he explained it and I understood it a bit more. He removed the tape "OUCH!!" and then removed the pain drip lines "BIGGER OUCH!!!" and now its fine.

They came back and took my blood to check my hemoglobin and it came back better but then I all the sudden has slight fever so they said that they would like for me to stay another night so I can be monitored.

Then a few hours later one of the nurses was checking me out and she noticed my arm that the IV was in was swollen... so she took a closer look and discovered that the vein had blown and the the IV solutions was just going into my arm... GREAT!! Well she took it out and then called the doctor to see if he wanted her to put another one in... thank god he sad no just keep up on the liquids.

So now I'm just trying my hardest to get this gas to come out and stay up with my liquids... all I can say/think is this will totally be worth it in a few weeks/months!
