hey all,

My mother's still on telemety unit after by-pass and AVR. Having trouble with A-fib and getting rid of fluid. Anybody else have this happen??? She is down and out wanting to go home and feels like she isn't doing well. Docs say things are fine and that some take longer than others to bounce back. She also has had some confusion. Anybody else experience this Thanks

 

[Phyllis]

Shelly, I will keep your mother in my prayers- confusion is often a side effect of the anethesia and meds- especially if they used any morphine. I hope she will soon be doing better and on her way home.

Shelly, a-fib and getting rid of fluid are two common post-op problems to get past before coming home. Being a tad confused is not unusual either. The patient has been through a lot. Different people bounce back at different rates. I am sending my prayers for your mother.

I was 66 when I had surgery almost 4 months ago. I did go into A-Fib and it is controlled by Sotalol which I will take for another 5 weeks and then he will try taking me off of it.

I had some confusion as well. One night I asked my husband why they had changed my room. They hadn't.

I think given time she will be OK
