Update; so I had a colonoscopy today to see exactly what my crohn's has been doing, it's crappy (literally) but they are managing my pain, vomiting and dehydration. All positive things have happened today. The hospital even made me a birthday cake!!! My mother inlaw brought my son up and I was able to spend much needed time with him!! I must say that the Doctors, Nurses and other staff at Naples Commmunity Hospital have been amazing, supportive and on the ball! I could not ask for more today. I am still pooing blood and vomiting blood but things are on the up and up! I'm also thankful for this forum and everyone's support, I love you guys!!!!!!

:getwell: and :bdayparty:
You are right! Staying in the hospital is never a pleasure but they helped my positivity, they have been wonderful. They sang happy birthday and then pulled out the cake!! It brightened my day that's for sure.

Happy birthday honey, it's not nice being in hospital at anytime especially away from your son but it sounds like they are really looking after you. Hope they get things back on track asap so you can celebrate at home with your family.

In my experience, it's all about how you treat the nurses. Maybe it's a macho guy thing, but my "roommates" always seem to be kind of jerks, where I always try to follow the golden rule. Yes, I'm miserable, in pain, hungry, etc, etc, but besides the fact that I'd feel like a schmuck saying nasty things to the nurses, they like to care for you if you're nice.
That's really nice that they did that for you.You are completely right!!! I have had the best nurses anyone could ask for! Hurting, hungry or just plain miserable I do not have it in me to be mean to anyone, especially when it comes to the people with my health in their hands. don't get me wrong I have had some really crappy nurses before and I always kill it with kindness. I'm hoping to get out of here today... We will see begging only goes so far. LOLIn my experience, it's all about how you treat the nurses.
