Preparing for lengthy hospital stay....what do I buy/bring/need?

Ifs funny, i was talking to someone about that yesterday.

I get to lay in the nice (adjustable) bed all day, just push a button and anything i want will be brought to me (food, coffee, drinks, whatever), the wifi is excellent so i can watch anything, and anytime i go anywhere ive got two hot nurses escorting me. Well, depending on how far i go, i will have 3 nurses following me. One will push a chair behind me in case my legs give out and i have to suddenly sit down.

But i dont like it, As far as the nurses go, how hot they are is irrelevant. I dont like strangers touching me. And i would much rather riding than being laid up. Not to mention that i hate having to ask for stuff and depend on people for everything.

 

This thread is useless without nurse pics Post up, mofos.

 

Could be some bitchy fatties so count your blessings.
Fucking get well will ya ?

 

'


WANT!!!!!

 

I was counting the puppies in that wheel barrow. Looks like a possible 11 definitely 10.

 

I get 10.

 

I think there's a #11 in between the front 2.
Either way that's one cool picture.

 

Even if there is 11, I can lay down with one on my chest, then 5 on each side.

 

Def 11 u bitches. Theres a bit of dog collar and some extra paws on the right

 

Partial update w/ a question.

Still on liquid diet.....Ensures out of cans (God's greatest invention) and cans of soup through blenders. Mom helps me clean wounds every 3 or 4 days, the rest of time I am alone in basement/bed w/ my Pooch <3 . I feed/drink/poop/take care of myself, but am in bed 99% of the time. I let my dog in/out and give her her meds am/pm. I am unstable on my feet due to ptsd.
Mom drives me to Dr apponints and picks up prescripts, ensures/soup cans.
I talk very little, wispery, to not agravate throat.

Still learning to carefully drink/swallow. lower lip numb, cant keep water/soup in my mouth, need a bib, lol.
surgically Untouched right hand/fingers/foreamr numb and burn like fire. yadadayada, whaaaa.....who cares, I am still alive

24/7 PTSD is back i full effect (my PTSD is unrelated to the cancer/surgeries/etc....(it is triggered by any/all stress). Causes Terror (not cancer related/outcome terror), Terror = overheating/sweating(soaked), and difficulty breathing. JUst the throught crossing my mind of being hot, can send me instantly into soaking wet hair, on fire.....needing ice packs. Same w breathing,, i struggle to breath do to the massive swelling (or it is in my head/brain), just thinkiung, makes it more difficult to breathe instantly. Can cuase panic attacks. ice-packs/cold-towels needed. Non of this is related to the cancer/outcome. I am fighting two different battles at the same time, the PTSD being the far wosre one, but is hindering fwd movmemnt/treatments on the cancer war. I was fighting the ptsd long b4 the cancer.

Questions, x2.
My neck/throat looks like I have a honda mini-trail-50 intertube around it, pumped up to 200-psi. Huge and hard as a Rock. forgeting the pain/uncomfortablemess/etc.....it is restricting my breathing slightly......enuff to trigger my ptsd.....enuff that I spend the entire day/night adjusting my body for max airflow.
1- IS THERE an over the countrer (Vitaman Shop) pill thatreduces surgical swelling??????

post-op lab works says the cancer will come back, hence the asap for radiation/chemo (lots). THe neck swelklling (BREATHING) is causing me stress (24/7), i dont know if i will mentally survive all of whats coming cause of the ptsd-resrictions/panics/etc. if your breathing is slightly restricted, will them medical bottles of oxygen help?

Thank you (stressed and sleep deprived)

I think my trachea hole has finally sealed....if so, I take my first shower/bath/etc in a month????

 

Ask your doctor about the pressure of the device and how it makes you feel.
Be strong and take drugs for the anxiety. Let your healthcare providers in on it.

Good luck Bro...stay fucking strong !!

 

<3 <3 <3 !!!!!!

Everyone in the hospital/system knows.....they seen the PTSD hit first day out of surgery.....they seen it hit like frieght train first night.
TerrorDOME. soaking me in coldpacks 24/7.

They are trying to figure out how to give me radiation right now, knowing I will go full tilt bonkers (overheating/cant-breathe/hyperventalating/physically going into fetal-position) maybe I can be sedated? The stress/panic/terror/etc is not related to the cancer/outcome.

I am SORRY....Thank you guys!!!!

<3 Thankm you Rick !!!
Thank you all !!!!

 

Are you getting any kind of mental health help/treatment?

 

<3
Thank you, papa

 

Whole lotta Truth in that statement.... <3

 

It was a question, not a statement.

 

anything that might reduce swelling to an impacted/surgical area? Over the counter.
Medical oxygen bottle help slightly-restricted breathing/airway?
