Unfortunately we learned a lot about hospitals yesterday. It is important to ask how many patients your nurse is covering and stand up for what you need.
Cindy's pain care was mismanaged all day, she stayed in terrible pain between a level 8-10. I am angry at myself for not being stronger and demanding better care. Never again!
We worked at it all day but did not get her meds changed until the evening, I was so exhausted and tagged out with our dear friend Lisa, who stayed with her until she could get some much needed sleep. Thank you Lisa!
Today is a new day, and we are hoping to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Could be as soon as today.
We have a new plan for pain management.
We are still on track for chemo on Tuesday at Texas Oncology in Round Rock.
My sister Darla and sister in law Jeanne Marie will come today to help during the coming week.
Thank you everyone for helping us work through Cindy's cancer fight!
You have all been so supportive, thank you, thank you, thank you!
