Hey Everyone!
I haven't posted in a while...just lurking in the background. I am feeling better and better as time goes by. However I did want to share a funny thing that happened after my surgery in January.
My husband, sister and son kept an extensive notebook on what meds I was taking and when, how much I walked, when I peed, what various doctors said, etc. Well the good Lord saw fit for me to block most of my memory of the surgery and hard recroup out. I remember very little of my 12 day hospital stay after surgery. Anyway in cleaning my closet the other day I came across the "MEDICAL NOTEBOOK". I decided to see exactly what was in this mysterious book...WOW! I was very well documented by my family. Meds, nurses, hall walks, IV's, drain tubes, etc it was all there! Plus a few famous things I said to my doctors. I told my surgeon "I think I'll be all right with a beer and a cigarette!" (I don't drink or smoke?!) Told one of the nurses that I had just been hired for an infommercial. Not sure what I was selling but it was going like hotcakes. Ane the last one and best: I told my cardiologist I thought he could get my pacemaker at BIG LOTS. It wouldn't cost as much and if we kept new batteries in it, it would be fine! (I can just now appreciate the fine work of all those drugs!) LOL!
