Day 3

I was exhausted today. So tired, that when Cantu came in to do Mom's booster I fell asleep (some vigilant caregiver I am, right?). I had the strangest dreams.

In one dream:
Mom and I were at a horse show and she saw a hat and vest she wanted to buy for Laura, but it was expensive. The guy's wife, who was working the booth, said if I could do a shot of Whiskey faster than her husband, we could have the hat and vest for free. They kept cheating though. The first shot she filled my glass with ice and her husband's without. The second time she left the wrapper over my mini bottle to block most of the opening....How's that for a random dream?!

The second part of my dream:
I was walking down the road when I felt like I was being followed. A white car was driving really slowly behind me. When a man jumped out of the car, I took off running. I tried to hide. All of a sudden I started hearing this distant beeping. I heard him scream, "I have a tracking device and I'm going to find you!"The beeping kept getting louder and louder! All of a sudden.....
There I was back in the clinic room, but I could still hear the beeping. It was Mom's heart monitor LMAO! The sound of her heart monitor made it into my dream!

Dr. Cantu gave mom a little ball filled with pain medicine for her to control and use when she needed it. It is helping so much! I had opened the valve when she first woke up from her booster to let it run 30min so that the medicine would reach her veins. That way, when she was in pain, and she released the valve, the medicine would go straight into her vein and not have to travel down the IV first. In true Amanda form though I forgot to set my timer and let it run for 3 hours. When I realized what I had done, I turned it off. There is enough medicine in there to last 48 hrs if run nonstop, so its not a big deal that it was left running, but I was curious to see if the third booster was a charm. It wasn't.
9:30 Stopped pain pump
9:55 In pain again (released valve)
10:30 Out of pain

...coma it is.
