im back online but still in the hospital

[Megan]

hello all. thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers. i definitely needed them. i too am hoping it was my one and only bump. im feeling much better and have started walking and got all my tubes out today so im free to find the wifi spot finally in the lounge! i should be home by the weekend and will hop on as soon as i find the energy! best, and hugs to everyone! megan

ps- the food is horrific here.

Sounds like if you've navigated to the wifi you're making good progress, Megan. Also if the hospital food is horrific, that's par for the course. Pretty good indication you still have a discriminating palate.

Best wishes continue for a smooth recovery from now on....

Glad to hear your on the road to recovery! Any walk now is a good walk. Keep it up.

Glad you are doing much better. Keep up the walking that always helps get you out of there sooner. Hope you continue to do well and can go home soon.
Take Care.

Glad things are going good for you megan. Hopefully you will be home soon. I am just getting sprung from icu today after having to wait for 3 days for them to put a pacemaker in. Hopefully will be homeward bound on friday but we will see.

Hi Megan,

Glad you are mobile and able to get around - hope someone is carrying that laptop for you!!
Hospital food. Ecch. How they expect sick people to get better on that is beyond me. I hope you get to go home soon, and that you continue to improve!
Thinking of you!

If your tubes are out you are doing much better. WALK, WALK, WALK, REST, WALK, WALK, WALK, REST. Did I mention you should walk as much as you can tolerate. The more active I became the better I felt. Obviously, don't go crazy but you will be amazed how walking helps. You will sleep better, lost water weight faster, clear your lungs better and feel stronger. You sound like you are doing much better.

Good luck!

Great to hear that you are close to getting out of that hospital. I hope that your recovery is now smooth sailing. Keep your head up and walk, breathe, rest etc. Sorry that the food is yukky. But soon you will be free....

I hear ya about the food megan. None of it tastes good and not only that on the days that I had appointments or the day after surgery. For both the valve and the pacemaker I couldn't order for the next day so all they sent me was fish which I hate so I wouldn't eat it. So then I would have to settle with apple sauce or something. So it will be interesting to see if I have lost any weight. Prolly not with all the fluid I still have to get rid of. But can always hope I guess.

Glad to hear everything is going well for you. I hope for you to have continued, and speedy recovery. Best wishes to you & God Bless.
