I get to go home next Friday. However, not before I lose another 20 pounds, and die from getting the wrong medicine.

The hospital gave me the wrong lunch. I can't have orange juice or tomatoes because of the renal failure.

Then they tried to give me dialysis 5 times this week. (Normally you get 3 unless you're dying.)

One doctor came in and asked me how my stomach was going. I said that I'm fine, but my leg is hurting me. She said that was normal for a stomach stapling. I told her I had a BKA, and that I am having phantom pain. Then I asked what my leg hurting would have to do with my stomach anyway?

She asked my name, and I told her, and she got my date of birth right, but was confused that my right foot was missing.

Also, I'm still waiting for that lunch 5 hours later. Plus who eats dinner at 4:45 in the afternoon? I'm in rehab, not an old folks center in Florida.

The physical therapy is great, but the actual medicine side of the hospital is a nightmare.
