Are you kidding me???


Yesterday around 4:30 I noticed myself raising my forehead and 'making it wrinkle' for no reason. I told myself to stop because it was going to give me winkles if I continued. Shortly after my arm tensed up then my hand, neck and mouth. At this point I was scared. I pressed the red torpedo launch button aka the nurse 'call' button. By the time the nurse came my whole body was having a spasm it felt like I was having a stroke. I was sobbing. The nurse was excellent. She calmed me down and called the doctor. I was having a reaction to one of the medications. They called Brent and he rushed to the hospital. After a couple hours and a dose of benydryl through the iv my body calmed down and slowly stopped seizing. It was top 3 of the worst experiances of my life!!! I fell asleep around 8pm out of complete exhaustion. They had been saying I might be able to go home during the weekend but now they don't know when I'll be able to because they have to figure out all new meds. I can't even believe this happened! I'm exhausted and quite nauseated today. I just wanted to go home and now I'm not sure when that's going to happen. Sorry for no humor lately I'm having a hard time finding humor lately :( I did tell the nurse that I was glad I had a reaction to the suppository one haha because at least I don't get anymore drugs in my bum.

    What medication was it that was causing the spasms? What a horrible experience. Are you allowed out on day passes if not for overnights? Maybe a couple hrs out in fresh air will temperariliy cure your homesickness...
    Good to hear the nurses are taking care of you.
    Will be thinking of you
