SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2

The guard woke me up with my breakfast. I was very shaky and too weak to sit up. I said, could you help me sit up. He put his hands under my arms and sat me up. He moved my pillow and with his hands under my arms he moved me back against the pillow. I said, thankyou. Could you tell the doctor I don’t have my pills. He said, yes. He went to the door and propped it open. He called the doctor and said I didn’t have my pills and that I didn’t look well. It wasn’t long before a nurse showed up with a bottle of pills. I was just sitting in bed staring at my food. She put the pills on my tray and asked how I was doing. I said, I had a bad night, was very shaky and weak. She took my blood pressure, pricked my finger for blood sugar and iron. She said, your blood pressure is fine but your iron and blood sugar is low. Can you eat your food? I will try. I picked up the glass of orange juice. It tasted really good so I drank the whole glass. The nurse opened the vitamin bottle and took one out. She said, can you take this? I shook my head yes while taking the pill with some milk. She said, good. Now let’s see you eat some egg. I was starting to feel better and started eating the egg. The nurse said, my name is Judy. I want you to eat everything here and if you need anything have the guard call me. I said, thankyou and she left. There was a lot of food. I ended up keeping the muffin and banana for later. I was feeling much better. I dosed off.

I woke up when the guard brought lunch. I was feeling pretty good. The plate had a beautiful piece of chicken, fettuccine alfredo noodles, broccoli, peaches and cream, milk, tea and other things. I thought I am going to get so fat. It looked so good. I was stuffed and didn’t eat it all. I kept the peaches and cream. I thought maybe in a half and hour I will eat it. About 30 minutes after the guard took my tray he bought me some boxes. One had a note on it. I can add more songs if you need. Signed Scott. One of the other boxes had an envelope attached. I opened it. It had a note that said, I picked these out myself. I hope you like them. Signed Scott. I opened the music player. It came with some songs on it and prenatal belly speakers for women during pregnancy. Oh wow, it was so nice and just what I wanted. I opened one of the other boxes and there was a set of pajamas for pregnant women. It said fabric stenches for pregnant woman. The other two boxes had dresses that went to the floor. One had butterflies and the other had flowers. I held them up and looked at them. They were really nice. I pressed the button on the box next to my bed. The door was still open and the guard came in. I said, could you ask the nurse Judy for a shower chair, towels, hair shampoo, deodorant, bush, hand mirror and other things needed to take a shower. I would like to take a shower. He smiled and said, sure. He went to his desk and called the nurse telling her what I needed.

Around 2pm the nurse Judy showed up with a cart and things I needed to take a shower. She put the chair in the shower. She put towels and washcloths in the bathroom. She showed me the hair shampoo and soap. Then put them in the shower. She asked if I needed help and I said, yes. She closed the door and helped me to the bathroom. Once I got up I was fine. She said she was going to stay until I was done to make sure everything went well. She put the brush, comb and other things on my bed table and then said, she would get me a little table for my chair. That way I could even write something if I wanted. Everything went well and the water felt great. When I finished I came out in one of my new dresses. I saw she had changed my sheets. I asked what to do about dirty clothes. She said, she would get me a dirty clothes hamper. She said, we don’t know how long you will be here so we will just bring you what you need. I told her thankyou, I feel really good after the shower. She said, that’s great. Ok. just let me know if you need anything else and she left. I sat in my chair awhile and then decided to eat my peaches and cream. I felt really good and I think the babies liked the shower also. It was going to be a couple of hours until dinner and I was not hungry anyway so I was trying to figure out what to do with myself. I got back in bed and turned on the tv. I flipped the channels until I found something interesting. I was going to have to find something to do with my time other than watch tv.

When dinner came the guard put it on my bed table. Then he brought a table to go with my chair. After dinner I watch some TV but found it hard to find anything to keep my attention. After a couple hours I turned it off. I slipped down into the clean sheets. I was was clean and the clean sheets felt really good. I fell asleep right away.
