Still in the slammer...heh

I dunno...the smiles are fading. My mom was in the bathroom crying tonight because she is tired of this. My dad told me that my mom can't keep coming down because she is so tired. They said they will be here for a couple hours tomorrow afternoon. Used to come the whole day....
Then my boyfriend...he prolly won't come tomorrow. Says he doesn't like hospitals. My fear is that he doesn't like me. Guess I can't really worry about it now. My mom says if he can't deal with hospital shit now, then I better find out because this certainly won't be the last time. I told her that she always used to say this would be the last time....
Depressed now, I guess. Wish this shit would end.
I'm here at least thru the weekend and prolly a few days next week. Anyone in the Philly area that wants to visit (hint hint Randy....) let me know. I'm bored out of my head and yet...this joint still sucks.
I sign online maybe twice a day because I am missing classes, clinicals, and work, so I have to have connection to my teachers, etc. So those of you that are wondering how I can have a headache bad enough to be in the hospital but can still get on my computer...that's the answer. 
Tired tired tired of dealing with this shit. Can't be positive all the time I guess....
Love and hugz,
Lizzie2/Carrie

Worrying a little about you little one. But you are one of the strongest people that I know. ALWAYS be prepared to start over. And one day, you will look back on this time and think "Man, those were some rough times, but it has shaped me to who I am today.

Rats.
Sorry about all your troubles
Try to remember that ultimately, it's you that you have to take care of. Do that. If you don't, things won't get better. Think of the worst thing that can happen with the others if you pamper yourself for a little while. My guess is that you can handle it.
Good luck Kid.

Sorry to hear your still in the sterile hotel. I hope they get this under control soon so you can go home. Long hospital stays are no fun at all.
Big hugs, vibes, prayers and well wishes pouring out your way.
Peace,

Ditto what Jimi said, Carrie. Each day that you spend brings you one day closer to getting out of there and getting your life back. I dearly hope you can get some relief and some quality rest. Keep your chin up. We're pullin' for you.

Oh I do hope you feel better soon. I hate hospital stays too and I think just being away from home and all that's familiar is what is the most depressing bit. For me it was not being there when the kids went to bed or being able to look in on them at night - it was at night I cried the most.
I hope you get some time off for good behaviour soon hun!
Take care
love
Helen

I hope you get paroled soon! Would love to come & see you, but I hate hospitals .(You've probably heard that before).
I'm sure you remember my story of going AWOL in Jefferson Hospital & leaving ADA.
Seriously, get better guick...

Sorry sweetie... man, you must be on the verge... I hate hospitals and the way the staff comes in at 6:00 am and asks if you've have had a bowel movement in the last 24 hours!!! I always say "Have YOU???" What you can do is put this stay to use for you... You can get yourself well and stop worrying about who is visiting first of all... You're the one that needs to get well and it doesn't matter what kind of attention you get in that respect as long as the attention of the medical staff is good. Also you can see what kind of nurse you want to be and take a mental note. You are a patient, so now you know how a patient feels. Once when I had a back problem and couldnt get off the couch I felt like Dave was always saying 'in a minute" when i needed something. I picked up the phone and called my friend who is a nurse and said... "When those little lights go off and someone needs you that can't get out of bed... go to that person as fast as you can!" Use this as a learning experience to be the best nurse you can be...
I try to avoid hospitals at all cost!!! love to you buddy... 5 R's Rest, Read and Relax if no one comes to see you... and Remember we love you ~~~Ree~~~

Carrie - sending you "get better fastest" wishes so you can get sprung and go back to whatever normal is supposed to be!
Take care little one - do as you're told by those in charge and know that we're all thinking of you.

Thanks mucho...
Getting over cluster #2 of the day. That sounds pretty damn good, but I'm not supposed to be having any on this junk! Well...that's what meds do I guess! Bwahaha
Unsolved, when I was upstairs I was on so much I can't actually remember it now. If you want, I can email you the power point presentation I'm working on for headache education for nurses. Majority of meds fall under the category of reglan (didn't get this time), droperidol, cogentin, DHE, MagSulfate, D5 1/2NSS, and some other fun junk. I'm on a shitload of daily meds for some neurological conditions and some other crap...too young for all this! haha
Anyhow, right now I'm on IV lidocaine. It is currently running at 2mg/min (I think or is it hour? haha...I could look at the pump but it is currently beeping its little head off because it thinks the bag is empty when it's not!). A study out of Australia on IV lido said the average success was at 7-21 days on the lido. I've been on it since Wednesday night. They won't be doing this for 21 days or I will have to quit school! Ahhh....somewhat stressed.
The boyfriend is going. Shit if he can't handle it now, how's he gonna handle chronic migraine and chronic cluster my whole and his whole life? What would he do if we were married and had kids? Just not show up? Don't think I'm worrying about the future too much because this actually could have been the somewhat near future with us...
Some of you remember James (the stunning 6'2" black dude from wedding/recital/etc pictures). We basically were never officially together but we dated for over a year. We didn't become "official" because he never wanted to get married or have kids. He says he's pretty serious about it...He's 29 (turns 30 in May), and he says if he got married he'd be an awful father because he's great with kids for a short period of time. He lies...he's great with kids all the time...he just has to say this so he can keep up appearances. Haha And he said that if his wife left him, he'd have to kill her, and then he'd have to get out of jail, etc. He's hilarious. That led into quite a convo! The thing I love about him is that he's from Philly his whole life and he's totally living in reality. Here's a pic of us from my best friend's wedding in August of 2003 if it'll post.
Well anyhow...not worrying about all that crap for now! Supposedly David is coming tomorrow...we'll see how it goes.
Ree, don't worry about me learning to be a good nurse. Every clinical experience my instructor writes "extremely good at relating to patients" because I've more or less been one forever! Well it started with having a tumor when I was sixteen. That was pleasant. haha Especially being on my face. And no, it was no "Face Eating Tumour" like they play on Discovery Health! haha
This is my 8th stay for headaches, and I have learned much. I continue to learn much as a nursing student, nurse extern, patient, etc.
Although my patients will hopefully always be neonates, I hope I am always the nurse that I hope to be....
Can see both sides of it sometimes though. Being a nurse ain't easy. But it's sure as hell better than being a doctor any day of the week!
Hugz,
Carrie

LMAO you should see my presentation in the early unedited version for my honors project. First I have the old stereotype for clusters and then on the page of "The Reality" it says Women DO get clusters. Has some ratios, etc. hehehe

Well the update:
Still here. Needing the big vibes I guess! Today was not a good meeting with the neuro. I will post more on this later but now is not a good time to discuss it. It was an upsetting day for me, but tomorrow is always a new day.
Love,
Lizzie
