Hospital Day One

Thanks to the pain medication, mum slept well last night and seems a lot more comfortable . It's frustrating though because she looks O.K , feels not all that bad ....it's just this horrible burning in her throat . She is being given Ativan before the Decadron which stops that lousy agitated feeling . It's been a busy morning of people coming into the room - The doctor who works with Dr O'Conner, the nurses, the person handling insurance (that is working great so far ) and the social worker . Without exception , everyone is extremely pleasant . Our nurse has been at Roswell for 39 years . That tells you a lot - about this place and the sort of people that are attracted to this kind of work .
