I could kill to get out of here.

I want to be somewhere other than the hospital but there is a complication with my butt.  The new operation I just had is failing again.  So in five weeks I sat up in my chair I've sat up 15 minutes.  I want to scream!  Maybe its my fault,  I  sat up on the clinatron bed two and half weeks in because I had a really bad headache and I was throwing up.  Its only a small opening so maybe it will heal.  Say a prayer for me that this heals up.

This is a mural on the side of the new produce truck.  I love the big bold flowers. I'm starting a new blog when I get out of the hospital completely about the market.  I am going to eat and sight see my way across Pike Place Market.

MMMM Doughtnuts!

I could kill for a Dunkin doughnut.  Dunkin used to be out here.  Krispy Kreme is gross compared to a Dunkin chocolate coconut or a chocolate filled doughnut.  My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said doughnuts. Last year my present was a half dozen doughnuts. Did you know Top Pot was voted top doughnut company in the country and its a Seattle based company. I need to check them out to see if its true.

Why am I musing about doughnuts?  Its because I'm disgusted with hospital food.  I get a menu every morning and I have to choose what is the least gross thing on it for tomorrows meals.  There is always something with gravy or taste less cheese sauce.  The veggies are so over cooked and the potatoes came from dehydrated flakes.  And god for bid you order eggs by the time you get them they are rubbery pebbles.  Once a nurse lifted the lid to my dinner and said, "that looks like shit!"  I once sniffed my dinner and couldn't tell if the smell was from the food or I had shit myself.

Be proactive in your health care!

I'm in Harborview and the doctors really screwed the pooch!  If doctors actually listened to nurses I wouldn't be in the predicament I'm in now.  I was throwing up for three days before somebody finally decided to put me on IV fluids.  By then my kidneys were fucked!  So now I have all these tests and blood draws because they fucked up. When you are extremely dehydrated your kidneys have difficulty filtering out drugs. It makes me wonder if the hospital isn't looking for extra money by making people unnecessary sick.  If you aren't proactive about your health shit like this can happen.

This is another picture of Green Lake at sunset.

Sunset on Green Lake

I love Green Lake especially in the fall.  I go and have a coffee at Starbucks and then go for a stroll around the lake.  This picture was taken a half hour after sunset.

I still here at Harborview hospital.  I'm having issue with my kidneys but I hope to clear that up tomorrow.

Nothing but blue skies from now on!

 

Its been 2 weeks since I got here and my wound looks really good.  I will hopefully be getting out of the special bed next week, maybe even tomorrow.  I hate being couped up in Harborview.

Tomorrow is 9-11 and I'm going have a moment of silence to say a prayer for all who died that day in the twin towers.  Do you remember where you were that day?  I was asleep and was woken by a phone call asking if I was alright.  I'm in Seattle far far away from the disaster.  My British friend who called didn't know that;  I watched the TV all in day shock.  I still have a hard time looking at the photos of 9-11.
