Stick me

I was running a high fever yesterday so they requested some blood cultures overnight to make sure that the virus isn't spreading some place that we don't want it to. I've had blood cultures one other time and I remembered that they can not use my port, which is already accessed for my fluids and IV medications, to draw the blood. They'll need to find a good vein and stick me. And that never goes well for me. Except last night, it did. I've had an amazing nurse the last two nights. I have appreciated how she answered my questions. And she has minimized the interruptions while I am sleeping by taking care of things all at once. And she rocked getting my blood for the cultures.

The food policy in this wing of the hospital is a call when you want it kind of thing. I decided to add a buttermilk biscuit this morning. Just because.
