...you know how Lasix and Diuril work differently on the kidneys
...your husband says "these pancakes are delicious" and they're from the hospital cafeteria
...you get excited about the nursing shift change (wonder who will be here next?)
...you've already survived an earthquake and a hurricane is in on the way
...Date Night is the family waiting room, with some reheated baked ziti and fruit roll ups
...a great night's sleep consists of only waking up four times
...overheard in our room: You know what letter of the alphabet is my favorite? The W.
At least the two of you have each other to talk to. John and I took different shifts, so I spent most of the daytime hours alone with Liddy. Luckily, I got to talk to her, which made me look slightly less crazy than talking to myself (although not much). Whenever a nurse came in her room, I practically attacked them! I also got to the point where I just had long conversations with perfect strangers when I went outside for my daylight breaks. lol
ReplyDeleteThe first day that Liddy laughed at me again, she wasn't making any sound...just this little huhhuhhuh breath. But it was CRACKING ME UP. I'm pretty sure that the nurses thought that I had finally cracked since I was the only one they could hear laughing like a maniac for 20 minutes. Pretty sure they sent us home the next day. (maybe that's what you have to do to spring out! lol)
Still praying for ya'll every day (especially with the hurricane!)
XOXOXO, Heidi
