going home today

Well the heart has finally setteled. I need to check my rate every 4 hours - if lower than 65 I need to hold my Diltelzem. In two weeks I will tirtrate up to my normal does. I am down to 201 today. The hospital did not communcate well with the kitchen - I am on cream of wheat and yogurt here - that is all i can get right now. I am drinking coffee but no BM. I am looking forward to going home - should be after lunch today. This has been a long 4 days. My left side hurts the worse - they said that is normal. I don't want to take more pain meds. I hope to take tylenol instead. the pain meds make me feel dizzy and out of sorts. I hope the rest of the week will prove me getting stronger. More when I get home. Thank you for all your prayers - keep it cmoinmg. Mary - Vashon

So glad to hear you are on the road to good health & ready to go home.
Those pain meds are great, don't discount their value.

 Hi Linda
I stopped the pain meds - it really does not hurt.  I am just feeling torn up.  The ride home was a bit much.  I got motion sickness but made it without event until I got home.   I was concerned about no BM so I took a sip of Phillips - almost lost it with that one.


I don't want to mess this up and not do all the right things.  I am sipping every 15 min.  I am adding a chicken broth and a protein bullet to sip as well.  The bullet is a bit much in taste right now.  This morning I added 1/2 cup of protein drink - that got things moving!!!

Now Michael might have the flu - this is not good.  

And I am so cold too.

more later
peace
