surgery update

out in 3.5 hours. In ICU. My heart is giving them a run for the money - not too serous. My blood creatin levels as a bit on the low side. I am praying that is't just a fluke and they don't have to go back in. I have some pain on my left side. More discomfort. I have walked the hall and 1 flight of stairs just now. I am on my clear fluids and water in little cups. I may go home tomorrow if all stays this good. More as I can - thank you all for your prayers - keep them coming. I feel it and my body feels it. Peace Mary - Vashon

More prayers coming your way.  The journey is just begining.

Smooth recovery and speedy homecoming so you can get started on the new life.

Wow, you actually sound like you're in "real time." After I have surgery if I'm on any kind of pain pills I go into "creative Karen" mode. I remembering just thinking how very clever I was. Probably NOT!

 Congratulations Mary. You are on your way.

Mary,

Congratulations, it's all uphill from here on out.  Good luck and feel better soon!

Debbie, your post to Mary showed up in my email "in" box. You might want to resend it to make sure she gets it in case she doesn't read the whole thread.

Hi Karen,

That's odd, I posted a reply here.  I guess OH has gremlins - lol

I had heart issues too ... they never did figure that one out. Cardiac doc who finally dismissed me said it was a "heart glitch" that often happens after surgery. I also had low potassium (and still do) both pre-op and post-op. They have you walking stairs, too? Gee, I'm glad I didn't have to do that ... couldn't do stairs on my bad knees ... don't think I could do them now on my surgically replaced knee.

Good luck! Take care of yourself. I was in the hospital for two days, too, most got discharged after a day.
