Okay I was admitted on Friday.. I had gone there wanting to talk to someone and ended up being wheeled down to ER. They said I was dehydrated, (In Winter?) and lacking adequate nutrition. Okay, so I forgot to eat totally yesterday. I was given an ultra sound for my kidneys, put on an IV and ate lots of bland food. I did get to watch some TV..on a nifty little bed TV.
So.. Even though its winter, drink plenty of water. I have to tell you, I didn't have that much fun. The person next to me in the other bed was in terrible pain all night long having come off a knee surgery. The nurses were quite nice... and no...
I never got the famous MFM spongebath. (Sigh) but I did get the nifty socks with the rubber treads on them. Wearing them now. They are warm and comfy. My arms still sting from the IV and I got these cute little circular stickies all over my chest, where they monitored my hear.

Take care.

Best wishes going forward!
