discharged

I am now at our hotel room.  Things have gone very well.  The second day I was very sick to my stomach.  They gave me something for the pain and my nausia.  Thank God.  Today Im doing a lot better.  I just completed my 60 minutes of walking and I am sipping sipping to get in my fluids and proteins.  I have to say it only takes 1 fluid ounce to make me stuffed.  So every hour I'm trying to get in that 1oz.  I wont be able to at this rate.  Hopefully things will calm down enough for tomorrow.  I honestly thought I was going to get jello but my NUT said I can't have jello for two weeks  But I have decided to follow the doctors orders to the tea.  So no jello for me for two weeks.  Well, I'm ready to take a nap so I can wake up and start drinking again! Thanks for your incouraging words and prayers! Gretchen

Gretchen,  I think I saw you walking in the halls this week.  I wish you would have stopped me to say hello!  I was very busy with my assignment, but would have loved to have met you.  Sometimes I don't get to meet the bypass patients unless they're the patients I'm taking care of on a given day.  I hate that I missed you!  I hope your experience with us was pleasant. 

Yes that was me walking the malls.  I thought that was you from your picture so wasnt 100 cure.  I was so restless just staying in Bed.  I am on who normally words about 70 hours a week, so all of this is new to me.  Of course it is new to everyone.  CMC Hospital has been the nicest I have ever had .  The staff apears to love thier job.  IF thy don't they surely don't show it.  It was a great visit.  I have just gotten up this morning and taken my medicine.  I will need to wait about 30 minutes to take my vitamins and then onto getting my proteins in.  yesterday I only ended up with 30.  So I am hoping to break 45 today (at least) Thank you all for you support.  It is really nice to have aplace to ask quesitnos and talk about stuff people understand about. gretchen
