Hokie Sports Insider has Michelle Chatfield this week
As usual, Evan Hughes does a great job of hosting and Michelle knocks another one out of the park. Softball starts around the six-minute mark. Michelle's segment is at the 16-minute mark. "When Cory hits a lead-off home run, you know it's going to be a good weekend." "We just have fun” She "never thought I was good enough" to go to Virginia Tech, but then she set her mind to it and got there. "We're playing for each other." Talks about the triple play. And some great discussion about her being an aerospace engineering major, which is the same major as her dad. Lots of really cool stuff. ** Edited by VTChip at 5/1/2025, 1:48:20 AM

You may not be doing this pain meds thing right 😎😜 Hope you’re home on your own bed/couch very soon

A hospital is a horrible place to sleep
Getting woke up every two hours for vital signs and/ or blood being drawn is not my idea of a good time. And then at 5:00 this morning, my incision apparently erupted and got blood everywhere. As frustrating as it was not to get to go home last night, at the moment, I am very happy to be here.

Meh, a few more staples and some more duct tape and you’re good to go!

Hard to get mad at the good nurses. But have had several "Nurse Ratcheds"
For a 2 week stay, foot infection with partial amputation because of sepsis. Changing antibiotic IV every 8 hours for 2 months at home was not fun for me or my family either. The nurses who wake you up and ask you if you need something to help me sleep are ones in the "special" category.

Can you feel your legs yet?

I can feel them fine..,,
The problem at the moment is bleeding where the incision was made.

For sure. Didn't even try following my spinal surgery. As frustrating . . .
. . . as it is stay as long as they will keep you. You get better drugs in the hospital than they will send you home with! I felt great when I left the hospital. 24 hours later at home not so much. Hang in there!

Ditto double inguinal hernia surgery.
Meds (Tylenol 3, contains codeine) were great until I had to decide between pain and hallucinations. I spoke of it as yellow unicorns and blue alligators. I can truthfully say every nerve fiber passes through the abdomen.
