Home after surgery

Well I made it through the surgery on Tuesday and got home Saturday,(yesterday).  I am sore, bruised, and not at all hungry.  Did I mention sore and bruised.  OH MY GOODNESS... I feel like I have been beaten.  I had a bit of a set back on Thursday when I developed cardiac arrhythmia and they rushed me to IMC for observation.  Cardiologist were called in to determine whether I had developed a blood clot and at one point they talked about shocking my heart.  I said please try medicine first.  So, they started me on several meds and by Friday afternoon while I was sitting on the bedside potty, I was watching my monitor and it started coming down to normal ranges.  I was so excited I called the nurse in the she in turn called the drs.  That evening they moved me back upstairs to self care.  I came home Saturday with a passle of medicines to make sure my heart doesn't act up again any time soon.
Whewwwww!!!!! What a week this has been.  But, I am home all sore and bruised and down to 234 lbs.  Only 2 lbs since morning of surgery, but hey, that is 2 lbs.

Hugs all,
DeborahL.

 Congratulations Deborah,

Sorry that you had such a hard time.    Trust me....things will get so much better.    Lots of people leave the hospital with a huge weight gain after surgery.   The weight will come off trust me on that one.   Anyway wanted to wish you well and welcome you to the loosers bench !!!
