6:10 PM

I just chewed the nurse out. She realized that she had screwed up and couldn't defend herself. She told me that she would arrange for the floor coordinator to come by, I told her to please do so. Good news is Holly went 5.75 hours without pain meds. The patient care assistant finally helped me out, she came into the room and did a sonogram of her bladder and said oh you are full we are going to catheterize you again. I said no, Holly said I want to get up and go to the bathroom, the PCA's jaw almost hit the floor, she said lets try use a bed pan then she looked at me and I said you heard her she wants to get up and go pee. She okayed it with the nurse and Holly got up on her own and walked to the bathroom, went pee, walked back to the bed, and looked at the PCA and said now can I have my pain meds. I think the PCA almost passed out, she couldn't believe Holly just did it. I will be glad when the new nurse comes on at 7 PM. The PCA now knows Holly and the new nurse will meet me soon, hopefully the nurse will be more responsive to Holly's needs.
