Hospital

I don’t remember a ton about going to the hospital or being there or my surgeries (I guess that is a good thing)! I remember bits and pieces of everything that went on during my 2-week stint in the hospital but when I try to think about what I did all day, I have no idea? Why is this? I slept, watched tv, played cards, walked and ate ... did that really take up all of my day? 

There were days when I had CT scans or other types of screening ... and for the most part I remember the days went by really fast. The nights on the other hand were real sllllooooow. The nights were hard for me because they always involved blood tests that took forever to draw. The nurses were good, but being in a hospital for 2 weeks - getting poked multiple times a day - leads to not so many places on your arm to draw blood. 

By the end of my stay they ended up putting a central-line in my body to draw blood. Was I so happy!!

The surgeries went fine ... clearly, because I am at home now. I thought I would write a little about them since I haven't yet. Warning: It will be brief and not descriptive - due to what I remember and the time that has lapsed.
