Day 14 - Later that day...Moving Day

6/19/12

     After the traumatic experience of the catheters and tubes being pulled it took me half an hour to recollect myself. Shortly after my parents arrived but i was in so much pain still. I barely remember what they said except that they were smiling everything went successful. Once I finally got comfortable and was able to take a breather they decided to pull out more needles but that was fine because you hardly felt it if at all. 
     However, because the beds are automatic and adjust based on where your weight is the bed kept moving and hurt my chest immensely so we asked the nurse to pull the plug to the bed so it would stop moving, simple right. For some odd reason that means to her to get me up which hurt like a bitch and was another extremely painful situation and clean my back instead because thats what she thought I asked for. She could speak good english which also makes me mad esp if your a nurse in the ICU and you need medical attention asap how can they hire someone who can barely speak english i mean come on. 
     Finally they put a new catheter in me because a catheter only lasts about seven days so they did that and had to swing me onto another cart to take me to my suite or room id be staying in. which to be honestly was really nice. So I was glad to be getting out of the ICU and into my own room with tv and shit but the move was dreadful to be honest because i felt every little movement. But finally I just went with it and took the pain and was on the new cart being rolled up and meeting my parents there.
