Alyssa had become my nurse after one of the hardest nights and what became my worst day here, in the previous night I had some hallucinations and pulled my IV and the nurse I had taken 6 hours to get me hooked back up. I felt that nurse did not care about the pain I was going through. When Alyssa first came in and introduced herself she was bubbly and showed care asked what was going on I had let her know the issues the night before where my pain level was. Throughout the day she not only advocated for me to move to a liquid diet but also when she asked questions about what I was going through and not just what the nurse said from the night before I let her know that the bed was killing my back and that a lot of new pain was coming back from old injuries. She asked about previous medications and because I came in for pancreatitis I didn't realize that on the occasion my back would hurt. I would take a muscle relaxer at home that I need to mention that so when I did she immediately contacted the doctor, got the order for a muscle relaxer, and my blood pressure went from being in the 180-190s down to the 130s-140s. It was a huge turning point for treatment and in the past when the nurses would ask about the pain I would let them know my back hurt and they would tell me it was from constipation and that we would keep giving me stool softener. I was pretty drugged up at first and Alyssa was the first nurse to stop and take the time to really learn what I was going through and went through different options with me. I was told that day that I would still be in the hospital for another 4 days after already being here 4 days. My morale was down and things looked really bleak but Alyssa kept my spirits up all day and I don't know where I would be without her on that day. She also would ask if my wife who had been with me the whole time if she needed anything, especially water. She is 6 months pregnant and wasn't taking great care of herself and if felt good to know that a nurse would go that extra step and not only care about my care but also my support person.
