The ICU is very scary, especially when you're a patient there. For 3 days. And you're unconcious 97% of the time. Yeah, not too fun.
I hope to never go back there again (for my own health)
I would never go there again! I HATE IT. Too quiet and no internet connection. Oh, and you're not necessarily unconscious. I had an allergic reaction which presented itself in something similar to a petit mal seizure. I guess my heart was going crazy, with the damage from chemo and everything. (My average pulse was 150.
) Anyways, the nurses on the oncology floor weren't prepared for this and thought the ICU nurses would handle it better. Plus there were more machines to monitor me in the ICU. It was really scary though because they all thought I was going to stroke or go into cardiac arrest!
