Heading Home Tomorrow

To finish off today, the Hospitalist came in later in the afternoon to talk about discharging me today. I told her that we need to make sure infectious disease has both the antibiotic and antifungal in hand before setting me free. The other items that I have to have will be the statins that stop my body from attacking the 2 newly placed stents.

So I told her to talk to Kaufman about it, and that she can’t sign off unless all my drugs are ready for pickup. I don’t want to get discharged and have to do the mad scramble with insurance. We’ve done it before, and it’s no fun. I just don’t want any gaps in my care. Period. I wanna hit the ground running with all the meds I’m going to need for the next month. And yes, I’ll easily be taking off 4 weeks from this whole nightmare. Hopefully by then the infection will be almost gone, and I’ll have most of my energy back. But that’s just a hope. Things can change at a split second.

She then asked if there was anything else, and I said yes. I explained to her that I was getting 30mg ketamine infusions when I was here last. It helped with the pain management piece as well as it having a good control over anxiety and worry. She said absolutely, I’ll go put the order in. Yeah it’s 30mg, it’s realistically nothing close to what I get at Klarisana, but every little bit helps. it calmed me down, took the pain away, just let me chill out, which was nice.

I asked for 30mg again for tomorrow before I go home. Think of it as a parting gift. since I gotta wait 4 weeks to get it again at Klarisana.

I’m still tired. I did take a shower tonight, and noticed some strange bruises on my left shoulder. They marked it to see if it grows any bigger, but it just seems like your typical common case scenario of an unknown bruise. If it gets bigger, then I’ll worry. But I was quite clear in telling them that this wasn’t there previously.

That’s it for today
