Loading ...Anesthesia
After my daughters accident with multi injuries including compound and possible head injury plus having to wait 24 hours before surgery of course I had concern for her but also didn’t envy her nurses. Combined with blood loss she was so thirsty and they told her she could have something to drink after surgery they kept putting off as they were building a team.
After she woke up she wanted water but she couldn’t have it yet she could vomit and aspirate. She could have some ice chips every half hr So being out of it but non stoppable.they wound up giving in and gave her a little more ice chips. Her mouth and throat was hurting after 24 hrs then anesthesia and surgery. The swabs weren’t helping her as she was also thirsty but had IVs. Both her arms and hands were boxed up also surgery so they put the phone on speaker next to her. Plus her leg had to be positioned a certain way or she would be in pain. Every few minutes it was l her leg was hurting again then needing something to drink . I figured out after awhile she was in a airbed that moves around to prevent pressure. That every time it moved it moved her leg and started to hurt. So I tried to tell her to tell the nurses to roll something up to make sure the leg didn’t move out of place that was comfortable with the bed. But she was too out of it and now watching the bed to see if it moved. Then I heard her start whispering to me. Did you see that? Said,. No I’m on the phone. She whispered the bed, it’s moving! The bed is moving! i got to get out of here! Then her voice changed again to high pitched heard her say. Oh please don’t tie me down and the nurses telling she can’t walk telling her your going to fall. Then someone asked me if I wanted to get some sleep hung up the phone. Lol She said after that they moved her into another bed and she was okay after that but didn’t remember what led up to that. She didn’t remember anything.
