Do you hear that? It's getting louder, and louder. OH MY GOD, the train, it's Helios train of thought, with a subject for a blogger blog blog.
Oh my god slide it in. No, that wasn't good enough, try again, I love the feeling of steel penetrating my skin, over and over again. Piercing deeply, searching for vein, to send the necessary chemicals to kill the infection.
Welcome everybody, welcome everyone. Welcome to the view from the sun, I am your host Eros Helios. Come in, sit down and pull out the lotion, and give your computer screen a nice massage, then use the lotion.
As I write this, I am laying in a hospital bed with an infection in my lower left leg that, if left untreated, could infect my blood, spread to my heart or lungs, and kill me. I'm told that that is muy malo, very bad.
So I have no choice but to lay here, hoping that tonight will be my last night here in this hospital. Praying that the three days of antibiotic treatments, obliterate the infection threatening my life.
Dramatic I know, but its true. Waiting for my nightly fill of intravenous medications and it's irritating me, although I think about the past couple days, my legs are free of blood clots and the docs wanna keep it that way as they are keeping me on a blood thinner.
This is my first ever stay in a hospital(for more than a few hours at the ER) and the one thing I've discover is, god it's boring.
Okay, so, I kinda stopped writing this blog because honestly, I don't like writing on my phone. Since I'm no longer in the hospital, and my leg is healing quite splendidly, and I've also had my follow up and wow, was that an adventure, I'm finishing this up so my mind will stop bugging me about it.
I was in the hospital a total of 5 days, and it honestly wasn't that bad. The staff was wonderful, most of them anyway, the food wasn't bad(thank god I didn't go in before they made changes to the menu). There was no jell-o, no foul tasting food, it was actually rather delicious.
The worst thing about being in the hospital was the discomfort of the IV, I had to have the IV changed and moved like 7 times. It was irritating. I guess I should have gotten used to it, I had a blood draw every morning and half the time I slept through it, lol, and I don't know if that's good or bad.
Good or bad, it's so good to be out of the hospital and do what I want, go where I want, and walk again, without the pain of the infection throbbing with every step. I had visitors, my mom, sister, brother and my brothers' girlfriend and my niece, along with a couple friends.
The last time my brother visited, it was so cute, they were getting ready to leave and I gave my niece a hug and as I went to stand up I had a baby and a stroller attached to me. Apparently she wanted uncle Erik to be home. The next day, I was.
Well, this was the first hospital stay for me, ever. I'm a little disappointed to be honest. I wanted to go through life, never having stayed at a hospital. Oh well, I suppose I shall survive.
I'm on my way to a better, healthier future, I've lost a total of 13 lbs. and I don't plan on stopping. I may slip, trip and fall, but I will always get back up.
Thanks once again, for taking the time to read my little corner of the internet. I hope I will be able to write on a more frequent basis. I irritate myself because, I often get distracted more often than I would like. The future is bright from the sun. Be safe, be healthy.
