Day 7 Part 2

As I mentioned in my other blog, my doctor gave me the okay to leave. I, however, was feeling sad and lonely and didn't want to leave my nurses/care takers, so I told him that i was still having auras in hopes that he would let me stay. And sure enough he told me to stay for one more day. WTF right? How could I ask to stay when the entire time I've been here all I've wanted to do is go home. Weird, right?

I called my sister and told her about this. She said it was actually a good idea. My body has been stressed out by the lack of meds and all the seizure activity I've had recently. So it's going to take my body some time to recover. If I should go right now, it wouldn't be the best idea, because i'd probably have many, many seizures at home. I should wait until my auras aren't as frequent (right now I'm having 5-15 minute-long auras a few times an hour). I need at least one day of recovery at the hospital. I'm glad she told me that, because I was feeling like a weirdo.

BTW have I mentioned how much I love the staff here?? I'm really going to miss them so much. I've never had a staff that's so cool and interested in getting to know you. Staff like that makes hospital stays much easier to get through. like I mentioned before, most nurses hardly ever even look you in the eye. Quite different from the nurses here.

UPDATE:

Just spoke to Dr. Haneef and he told me that I'll definitely be ready to go home tomorrow. He told me that I had 14 seizures throughout my entire stay. Dr said they have more than enough information and that he and a group of doctors will be going over the results tomorrow. After that they'll come to a conclusion. I told him about the auras I've been experiencing today and he told me calm down, try to relax and that they have valium nearby just in case i need a sedative. I hope i don't need the valium...i've had it before and I don't like how drugged out it makes me.

Aside from that, I have a few people that are going to stop by today. I love visitors! yay :)
