gingin's blog: Journey Sept. 19

<p>And so it continues. Both Bill and I had a bad night on Sunday the 16th...stress over my procedure I reckon. Glad I got up an hour early on Monday...much to do before heading to the hosp. My deal wasn't as sucessful as hoped..."roto router" went OK about 60-70% clean out, but no stent as my atery is not in the usual place and the doc would have had to put it across a joint. BIG NO NO...too much risk of it breaking as the joint moved and bent. Next step will be by-pass if I choose to do so. Not necessary at this point. Called Bill from my room and settled in as best I could. Nurse was able to feel the distal pulse in my left foot. Yea...before it had to be found with the doppler thingy. Could not bend my legs until 11:45 that night...BUMMER...I so had to pee and the bedpan and I were NOT friends. Finally at 12:15am on the 18th I was free and could go to the bathroom!!! Never thought going pee could feel so good LOL</p>
<p>Tuesday Sept. 18...Nurse had been in several times to check on this and that. She allowed as how she had never seen someone sleep so well in the hosp!!! HELLO...I was tired both physically and mentally. So I'm waiting, waiting for my doc to make rounds. Talked to Bill...and wished I hadn't...he hurt my feelings and made me cry. Oh well..goes with the territory I guess. Finally when the doc shows up he says, "Why are you still here?" to which I replied, "Why haven't you released me???" That got handled real quick and I was on my way home. Sooo very happy that Brenda (SeedSprout) had brought us more goodies as I so did not feel up to cooking!!. Bill looked pretty good...went to bed before him cuddled up to Dixie.</p>
<p>Wednesday Sept. 19...Woke up fairly rested until all the "honey dos" Like...I'm supposed to be resting and some of this you can do for yourself. BAH HUM BUG...feeling grumpy. Nice long shower felt so good. Got Bill good to go for a bath. Sue is off this week, so another nurse came out to see him. Was on schedual for Friday, but Bill had questions so she came today. She was concerened that his BP was too low...called the hospice doc and he took him off one BP med until further notice..fine with me as it is the expensive one. She changed the dressing on the central line and flushed it. Richard has been here all day...bless his heart. I am very tired...did too much...looking foreward to more Brenda goodies tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier and I'm happy that I'll be able to drive again. SOOO that's all for now.</p>
