I just got back from the hospital. I had a mild heart attack yesterday morning while I was on the computer with DC. I am all right now. But I came home with another problem. The paramedics in the ambulance used some heavy duty tape for the IV. And the had it down right on the top of my had where my skin in very fragile and thin. The nurse in the ER removed it like the always do. She just ripped it off. In doing so she ripped the skin right off the top of my hand. I don't blame her. I blame the paramedics. Now the new wound will not stop bleeding. I have lost count of the number of time the dressing has had to be changed because it keeps bleeding through. And the dressing is very thick. We got one of the spots to stop bleeding, but it is the big one that is giving me so much trouble. The problem is that when you go to change the dressing, it sticks to the wound and the bleeding starts all over again. I have put some bacitracin on it and hope that helps to stop the bleeding and keep the dressing from sticking. The only reason I keep changing it because the dressing becomes saturated with blood. This new dressing with the bacitracin seems to be working. I have my fingers crossed.
Spike came to pick me up. Bless his heart. He had my scooter right next to the door so I wouldn't have to walk. The paramedics thought I was nuts for leaving my door unlocked. But I called him from the ER to let him know and he went right up to my apartment and got my keys and locked it. He also picked up my coat and other things he knew I would need when I was discharged. I know I can depend on him in an emergency. Teddy was beside himself when he saw me. He kept jumping and climbing all over me in the car. I never got so many kisses. I just love that dog.
