Day 2 at MDA

The day started with Oscar feeling good UNTIL they decided to take his Epidural out due to his blood pressure decreasing. So they opted to pain meds through the IV. Well, the pain meds through the IV are just not strong enough to knock the pain out. Poor Oscar has been in pain most of the day..right about now at 7:47pm his pain level is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst so the Pain Assesment team are working on his pain. In the meantime, I have a running nose...haha and I can't catch it, all day I have been using tissue after tissue and I felt like I kept losing the one I just grabbed. Little did I know I kept dropping them all over the room when I would get up to get something for THE PATIENT and some were even in my front pockets of my hoodie. My sister came to visit and we went down and had lunch and Oscar said one of his nurses asked whos tissues are all of these?? Ooops, I would have picked them up if I would have known I was losing them all over the room. Not to mention, once I went to the vending machine to grab a drink and as I pulled my hands out of my hoodie pockets, a lady said ma'm you dropped something and looked down and it was more tissue.....needless to say I am desperate to catch this nose of mine and ready for it to stop running. :)

Now back to the PATIENT, he is watching the stupidest stuff on tv, I mean really ughhh they need to update their cable channels. Well, I'm sure hoping they get him comfortable enough so he can get some sleep and it would be nice if I could get some too. I am sure I will let you know how the night goes tomorrow. Goodnight from MDA.
