Hello. Linda had a rough night with difficulty sleeping due to a new neighbor's snoring ( the most horrific snoring I've ever heard ). In addition, she had difficulty swallowing her nighttime pills for sleep and threw them up. The hospital does not replace them due to uncertainty as to how much med was left in the stomach. Good news includes the fact that she is now on oral antibiotic rather than IV, which is a big step in the right direction. She will have her wound vac changed sometime today and will try, with the aide of ear plugs, to get some sleep. The hospital is full and our efforts to get a private room, or a room with a different neighbor, are not yet realized. I asked the staff to work hard at some change. But the whole operation is overwhelmed by high numbers of patients. It seems heart surgery is popular these days and rooms are at a premium.
