Good Morning Everyone
Update: You know that vein they had to dig out of my arm? Well, the nurse came in to check on it this morning just before a friend arrived. She left and Steve came in. we were chatting, and I was retelling the story of the "Hunt for the Red vien" when I look down and notice the bandage around my elbow and gauze was a cool color of pink. I didn't remember it was pink when they put it on... then I noticed that the IV was out and I was "leaking" blood... quite a bit. I Paged the nurse, Steve also went and got her, who saw what was happening and re-inserted the IV tube back onto the needle that was dangling out of my arm. GROSS. everything is well and that is why they don't stick the IV in the elbows. They love the hand, but that ER nurse couldn't gouge one in ... so the easy target was used until I can get my potassium back up.
