47. ... and it continues

Week 47.  6/13/16

Once again I was sent home too early. At my hospital follow-up visit with one of my doctors, she did some tests and ordered me immediately back to the emergency room. I stayed two nights this time. The rooms at Milford Regional Medical Center must have been renovated when the addition was built. They were like new. I have only been to the ER before this event, so I can't compare, but rooms are are very nice - comfortable, quiet and nicely furnished. I saw at least 14 doctors in the 6 days I was there, including at the ER and the specialist consultations. It was hard to keep them straight. I was there long enough to see some nurses and aides for more than one shift.

The food was excellent, although I couldn't eat anything. They call it "room service" and patients can order anything any time from 7:00 am to 7:00 PM. The chicken soup was made in their kitchen and looked fresh and full of good stuff. Everything was exactly what I asked for and arrived at the right temperature. It sure looked good and once I was feeling a little better, it smelled good too. I only was able to consume tea and Italian ice, though. After I got home, I slowly started to eat soup and then rice. But all is well now.
