Which I only have or perhaps still have a BB in my calf from when I was 9 and shot myself with a BB gun.

Got some extra drugs, well not extra just loaded up on doses that I have the option of taking every 4 hours and they were available. I hope they have access to warm blankets at very least. Also wonder if I will have access to my PCA to give myself drugs as needed.

Well this is great. When does Friday the 13th end?
Screaming room mate who also likes to switch to other language and is a compulsive button clicker for pain. He says his pain level is only a 7 out of 10 though for him. Plus he has a fucking epidermal in.
Surprise MRI that will be in a cold room, on a hard fucking table (ass injury) with no padding, and the MRI makes lots of noise to boot. Plus I am unsure if I get to have my PCA next to me since it is both electronic and metal parts.
Cat Scan today around 11am. They did cut me off of non clear liquids and all foods not that late last night though (midnight). Though they only need 3 hours of that before hand. Did I mention they have a cold room too. Plus the OR which is next door had ran out of warm blankets so I got none. The pain due to laying on the hard table though caused an instant coating of sweat to cover my chest. That got me even colder. It only took 30 minutes total though.
Oh they installed a pick line today in my arm. They missed the first time, which almost never happens. Reason they installed that is the Central lines (3 IV ports) in my neck all failed to give back blood today. Normally not that important but they need to check my levels every 6 hours to make sure I do not have to high of lidocaine levels in it.
Lastly since the pick line takes about an hour to put in, plus an X-ray of the cord that goes into your chest, then if that is good the pick nurse comes back and sews it in place. Total time is about 2 hours. Well they really needed that blood so they started sticking me again, 9 blood draw attempts before I asked them to check the small vein in my pinky. That worked out.

OK I do not believe in such superstitions. Though I do think Murphy does exist and really like to play with me.

I will hang until they arrive, then see some of you in a few hours.
Sorry if you are getting sick of my medical ramblings. Just need an outlet or I will go crazy.
