Yep, I am so bored. Just check out my weekly schedule:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday --
3:00am Wake up in a pain induced stupor (result of Percocets and Ambien). Staff washes me becaused I am so dopey. I then breakfast and wait for transportation to dialysis.
5:00 to 10:00am Dialysis, where I entertain my fellow mates and the PYN's.
11:00am to Noon Watch Price Is Right.
Noon to Midnight N O T H I N G.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday --
8:30am Wake up and have my lousy breakfast.
9:00 to 9:05am I wash myself. Can't take a shower yet.
9:05 to 9:45am Wash naughty bits with vigor -- hey, I said I was bored!
10:00am to Noon Work out in PT. Still can't stand alone.
Noon to Midnight N O T H I N G.
Now except for the daily wound dressing change or enema, I am not interrupted much, so give me a call. I promise to be funny, and since I am off most pain meds, I even make sense now and then. (908-222-5142).

...SIGH...
Greetings from the Stardust Ballroom on the 5th floor in JFK Hospital in scenic downtown Edison, NJ...sigh...
Nope, actually it is the same boring room in various shades of beige and yellow that I always wind up in...sigh...
I guess you can tell I am a little bummed today.
Most of the nurses, pretty or not, treat my stump ("Stumpey" to close friends) like it was a day-old half-price pot roast at Stop & Shop; but my night nurse was so kind and gentle when she changed the dressing that I hardly screamed.
Adding insult to injury, no good drugs this time. Last time I had Morphine, opiate patches, Dilaudid and Oxycodin (party on!). I remember having some awesome hallucinations. My doctor realized it was too much when I kept trying to hang up the remote on the phone receiver after "talking" to my friend, Mr. Mopey. This time since I am not having major surgery, I can only have Percocet. Something like the "M & M'S" of pain drugs.
I passed the criteria qualifying me for my first hyperbaric treatment yesterday and it was weird. Today they cancelled it. So check the schedule if you want to see a near nekkid fat guy in a glass box and stop by!
