@MelissaCeciliaG After heart transplant I was in hospital 2 months. And 2 months prior to it. Yes the shift change sucks! Nothing gets done between 6:45 and 8! However they keep sandwiches apple juice graham crackers and peanut butter if you ask. They may run out by morning so ask at night.
@shiroAYA_ Try supplementing the pain meds with marijuana. I had a heart transplant which was agony. After I added gummies into the mix it helped. Pot is a really good pain reliever. My dr suggested it. Good luck! I recall feeling the same. Just make it stop!
