Well, after several delays it would appear that Monday is the blast off day. I will be glad when it is over. Trying to keep gun-ho over such a long period of time is draining. They should be picking me up sometime between 6 and 6:30 AM.
The mistake my nurse caught today was with one of my pills that I take in the morning. It’s a blood pressure pill, the sheet said I should be taking a 75mg pill. I actually didn’t know the mg. She went out and checked, my pill should be a 25mg. It doesn’t exactly build your confidence. I guess that is why they call this a teaching hospital. A few of the other mistakes that I am aware of are: they had someone else papers in my file, the doctor asked me why I was on cumidine (sp), I told him I believed I wasn’t, that is when he discover someone Else’s papers in my file; they picked me up and took me downstairs for some tests which had never been ordered, fortunately I didn’t take them. I just sat in the hallway down there for about a half hour when a guy (transporter) came and picked me up to take me back upstairs. I told him I hadn’t had anything done to me yet, so he swung me around and went back to check. There weren’t any orders for me to have any tests!
Well, the saga continues
