Ok so Mom's fistula had to be declotted today. From what I know, some idiot tech decided to go poking around where he ought not to and tried to screw up her site. It only took 3 hours and they were very gentle with her, according to her own words. She was still in good humor when they wheeled her back in...but she is really high on some awesome painkillers at the moment. They were going to try to dialysis tonight as I was leaving so I am not sure how that went.

We keep updating her with your messages...so please keep good thoughts floating around for her!

I hope she has an arm band on and a sign on her door and above her bed that states do not use so and so arm. I would be mad for her at this idiot.
 
I am glad she is off the vent and is flying high. I hope she still is in good spirits when they take thatmed away :-[

Katherine Soto I have had food wars going on around the hospital. I called in the morning yesterday to order my lunch.I was told I was on the automatic meal plan already no worried. I told the lady over the phone I have some preferences....never squash on the plate or bell peppers. She tells me fine made a note of it. I had arrived in my new room found a lunch tray I did not order said okay must be the auto tray kicking in. Six thirty slips by and I am asking my nurse when is dinner coming. So she calls down to food place. They forgot to make me a tray. So they tell me forty five minute wait on new tray. There is no choice around here so I wait. So the tray shows up beautiful, except for the huge pile of squash on it. SIGH***

Katherine Soto I had to call the Kaiser operator on the phone to get someone to answer my call bell. I would ring and noone would answer. I ended up with the charge nurse on the floor helping me

Katherine Soto What is going to happen......will she throw the next plate of zucchini that shows upon her meal tray? Will an overdose on a bell pepper case an incident? Will there be no coffee on the tray as requested today, and hot water for tea? Stay tuned to Kaiser and Katherine Kombat.

Good to see you made it through the night.  When I left there last night, I was sure you were going to strangle someone.  I'm hoping you get better nurses today!
