It's a poked, prodded, sticked and injected with Dilaudid kind of day 20111108

[Cleo]

Got to love the irony of being asked if I slept well when every four hours I'm woken up to have my vitals taken along with having a blood sample taken. The best part is that the sample of blood can't be taken from one of the two IV lines that I have and a fresh needle stick is required in my very hard to get veins.

Hoping to get out today since everything that can be done has been done and now I'm just being monitored. Only time will tell if the artery graft in my leg will stay open for more than a few months this time though.

Going to call my insurance company today to see if I can talk them into covering Plavix., Being as the doctor wanted me on Plavix last time the artery was opened up and my insurance refused to cover it and I ended up back in the hospital with a clot again it seems like they might as taking Plavix is a hell of a lot cheaper than ending up in the ICU. Not that taking Plavix will guaranty that another clot won't form again.
