Today I was sitting at home not doing a lot. I suddenly get a phone call. Odd cause I was not expecting anyone to call. It was One of the Drs at my regular clinic. I thought it was strange he called specially cause he did not seem the type to call patients unless something was up.
Well something was definitely UP My Lipase and Amalayse are both up from last time. AGAIN!!! I am also still anemic. He said he wants me to go into the hospital again. For IV hydration. (I am not vomiting anymore thank the lord) Also to make sure I am NPO compliant (no food) and clear liquids only. Well a "former fat chick" can only go without food for so long. I having had the RNY do not absorb all the nutrients that I consume any ways. So that could deplete me in my vitamins and cause extra problems. I have been NPO on and off. Well liquids yes. I am not in the hospital and I do not have an IV. I am not going to deprive my body of something I am not really getting anyways.
So he tells me he wants me to go inpatient again. (He said this last Friday too.) Actually he has said this every time I have seen him. I asked him what they could do there that was not getting done here in my own home. He basically agreed with me.
I also can not leave Erica with ppl all of the time. It is hard enough asking for help with her. I don't ask because most folks treat me being sick as an "inconvience" to them. I also have some trust issues. The last 2 sitters I have had watch her have been less than a positive role model. The first one well her mom and moms bf were in prison and got out wanting to "change" they both ended up back locked up. I later found out that the girl stole my brand new camera and tried to give Erica a joint!!!The last girl lives upstairs from me and is a pot head. Now don't get me wrong I don't give a shit that someone smokes pot. Just DO NOT do it around my kid, do not offer it to her, keep your paraphernalia AWAY from her and do not be high or get high while watching her, OR let anyone AROUND her get high. She will tell me EVERYTHING.. I am NOT afraid to call whomever I need to to keep my baby safe.
I also tend to find sitters who don't play with her. Who don't watch her. Who don't entertain her. She is 6 and pretty self reliant. All I ask is for someone to PLAY with her. She is fun to play with. Give her some makeup and she will be busy for hours. She loves to draw and write. Loves to play and ride her scooter. She just wants someone to play with.
Ok I got off track!!
The Dr. wants me on IV meds. What I don't know exactly I think some antibiotics. He really wants me FULLY NPO. I think then I will have some addtl items in my bag. So I asked him about home health care. He is working tonight but will get with me later on in the am Tomm. I should have a home health care nurse come in to set up everything. He only is letting me do this cause I am an EMT. I know how to spike a bag, stop and start a line, I will likely even draw my own bloods for the nurse lol. I bet she will love that. I can also start my own line and take it out prn.
Ok I have once again typed WAY more than I wanted to. I will say G nite, God bless.
