Hospital Day 6

10:00 am
- Dianne has nausea and wouldn't be able to go home until it subsides.  We are concerned that the doctors will send her home without understanding what caused the problems.  They are good at making her feel better and letting her go home - only to have the root cause reappear and land her back in the hospital.  It's tiring and we need to know the cause & solution.

7:00 pm - It hasn't been a good day for Dianne.  She had a lot of bladder pain, received a bunch of pain killers, and has slept most of the day.  Dr. Emilia Ripoll, a urologist from Boulder who specializes in Interstitial Cystitis suggested some non prescription medicines and exercises which could eventually help reduce the pain once she leaves the hospital.  Unfortunately, none of these will provide the instant relief that is so dearly needed.
