Well still not sleeping, its been getting progressively worse over the last couple weeks. Stressed and worried to the max about the whole kidney donation. Everyone seems to want to visit me but ill only be in 3 nights of which ill probably be zoned out weds night anyway.
I finally got an early night to bed last night but woke at 2am and didnt get back to sleep again till about 6am for an hour.
The place the hospital rented for us is ok, but has some cheap oddities. The plug in the bathroom presses in but you have to figure out there is a button behind the tap to get the plug up, so im sitting there with the knife trying to pull the plug out to get the water out. Then i finally get that going and knocked the toothpaste lid down the drain so now we have no lid for that.
The shower this morning was also interesting. there was a bath tap and the shower and only the one lever for both. it had one of those push in things to redirect it to the shower head, only that didnt seem to work. After about 20 minutes fiddling i was about to give up when i realized that you had to push the damned thing in before you turned the tap on and the water pressure holds it in and then water comes out the shower.
Today also is my daughters birthday party, shes 13 today. So we went to the mall for breakfast. I drank 500ml coke, then a mocha with breakfast, then more coke. Just trying to wake up more because im so darned tired.
I figured I wouldnt need as much clothes in hospital so i unpacked half my stuff and ill leave it at the hotel. Means i have less garbage to troll through if i need things in hospital.
So 7am i go in tomorrow, and out by 10-11am, then my brother goes in. I presume ill be out of it on a morphine pump weds arvo (woot!).
This is my last post for a bit unless i do one from the iPod Touch
Good luck! Everything will go smoothly. The op will be a great success. You’ll overdose on sleep over the next couple of weeks. You’ll be back up and right in no time. All the stress will be gone. You’ll find you have 1,000 extra karma points.
Everyone down here is thinking of you. All the best!
hah i knew i was doing it for a reason, karma points 🙂 And i figure ill get plenty of sleep afterwards so im not too worried about it 😀
