It was touch and go, The Dr did let me come home with a few reservations. I was having a hard time keeping my O2 level up. Yesterday was horrible, then last night they gave me lasix, which made me pee gallons. That finally relieved enough pressure that I could get the O2 up to 90 when I was on 4-5 leters. It still isn't good and I will need toget to the DR early in the week to see what is going on. Whatever isn't related to surgery. Today, I have been much better, walking is easier, Doing the drinking is easy enough. No nausa, yeh
So I'm sipping and walking and looking out the window at the ponies. I only gained 6 lbs from the fluid although I feel 9 months pregnant.
Thanks everyone for your support. Will try to catch up with everyone soon.

Welcome home, Price. Take it slow but keep doing what you're doing. Try to move a little every hour or so.

Price...so glad you are home and resting. I am so sorry that your O2 levels were acting up.

Sounds like you are doing what you need to do and that is sip and walk.

Welcome back home and get your rest.
