The last day at the hospital has been a little overwhelming. People keep coming in with paperwork for me to look at and sign and understand. I can get the gist of it, but there is just so much medical vocabulary that I don’t know! Since the rest of my program is in Bourgogne for the weekend I am all alone again L This is the first day Micheline cannot visit me. So unfortunate.
I just asked a nurse a bunch of questions – hoping to hit upon all the information. I have such a hard time with questions. I know all the basic starting words (like how, why, when, what) and the words I want to put in the question, but the order and the little prepositions in between just kill me. Luckily our conversation went pretty well. Apparently I am going to need to go to the pharmacy to get a bunch of painkillers after I leave.
The other little surprise in the paper work that I was super confused about is that I need to look online to hire a personal nurse to come visit me at my house for the next 5 days. I’ve had a tube with a bunch of yummy excess liquids sticking out of me for the past week. They finally pulled the tube out yesterday. I watched the whole thing and quickly realized why I decided to stop pursuing the medical field. Studying the body is super interesting but when it comes to getting down and dirty I get super queasy. Anyways, I now have the website for that so hopefully I can scrape together enough French explain the situation to a private nurse and come up with a schedule for her to visit. Wish me luck for this one!
