I think its Monday

Ok I'll have to say that today did not go as planned. All night Rojean had increasing pain in her head when that the pain killer wasn't cutting and she got splitting headaches when she sat up or tried I should say. So we called the nurse's station and asked what we should do. She called the Nero surgeon and they said the best way back was to get an ambulance ride to the ER. So that's what we did at 6 AM this morning. Busy ER room and since Rojean could talk and respond coherently she was over looked all day. I am to put it mildly " disgusted" and they did find that there was a lumbar gap in her low back were they had installed a drain for the surgery in order to keep pressure off the brain. This leaves a gap after and the fluid on the brain drains into it trying to fill it up therefor leaving the brain hi and dry like a ship out of water. They said it could heal on its own in about 10 days while laying down allot. Darrin's Julie had this same thing Rojean tells me. They also said they could speed up the process of this healing by taking blood out of her arm and inserting it into the gap in her back. Not a guaranteed fix but I thought worth a try as they didn't want to readmit her to the Hospital and at this point didn't know how to take care of her at the apt. or muchless get her there with the pain she was dealing with. So we got this done as Rojean wasn't quite willing for it and I went and saw the charge nurse that dismissed us last nite and told her they didn't want to readmit us. So she helped us out and she is getting a room so they can take care of her for the nite at least. There is so much that went on today and I was so done in I had to let mom sit in with her and I came back to the apt. and at some supper and wanted to update this for you guys. There hospital is full!! people sitting in the halls and I over heard one of the nurses trying to decide which people they should see first in the ER. Some were doing there best to take care of us and some just were there for a paycheck.
