Yay!!!

[jax]

Well the last couple days the docs have said that I would be able to leave when my inr hits 1.6. Well my nurse just came in to give me all of my meds and I asked him what my inr was at today and it went all the way up to 2.6. So it looks like I will be blowing this popcicle stand today. Ofcourse we still have to get the orders from the doctors which should be soon since discharge is at 11. I can't wait to get home I have had enough of this place.

got home yesterday around 2:30. can't describe how the drive was but i also know that i don't have to describe it to anyone in here. i was very nauseous from the motion and everything just looked weird. only way i could describe it to the hubby. i was on the couch most of the day. and when it was time to go to bed it was a little difficult to get comfortable but after maybe a half hour i was able to find a comfortable position. i woke up 3 times and had to get up and walk around the house a little bit. at 1 and then 3:30 and then again at 8:30. i hope soon that maybe i will be able to sleep through the night but we will see. for the most part i can go through most of the day without any pain medication atleast i did yesterday. i am sure that i will have days where i will need it more than others. but there is no where like home. have to go to the local hospital to have my inr tested so my doctor can call and tell me what adjustments need to be made and so on and so forth. nothing you guys don't already know. can't really think of anything else at this point just glad to be home and hoping that things will start returning to normal soon. including my mood because although for the most part it is decent i do get agitated very easily now. there were days in icu that i would start crying and no matter how hard i tried i couldn't stop and then i would be fine after i got it out. i don't have much patience for much right now. especially for the hubby right now even though i am proud of him for going through everything he did also. things are just getting on my nerves right now. hope it passes soon because i don't like being agitated like this.

I know what you mean about the agitation. My husband has been wonderful....but I seem to be so short with him. He had quite a scare when I was "out of it" for several days and they told him that I may have had a stoke. I am praising God for the patience He has given my husband......now just a little for me.....and quickly please!! Glad you are home and feeling stronger. The new heart building at CC is nice....but nothing like home!!

Glad everything went well for you. Take it easy at home & do not overdo it. Rent a few movies or get a good book, and just relax.

 

[jax]

okay it is time for me to go to sleep again. my typing has become horrendous. good thing that i am reading most of it before i submit my post or no one would be able to understand it. lol

Glad you made home, take things easy and dont over do things. I was like you have been with my hubby he just seemed to be in the firing line for everything. But he was brillant and still is been great with me, like he used to say to me if you cant have a go at me who can you have a go at. The only thing he used to drive me mad about was food if he asked me once in a day he asked me a hundred times, didnt matter if i wasnt hungry i got food LOL bless him.
But you take care and look after yourself
with love
Jane

hope your feeling better today. i myself had a bad one- soo tired- think i overdid it this first weekend home. i think the agitation is from wanting to be back to normal already and not giving yourself time to heal. i feel the same. all i want to do right now is jump in the car and escape! i feel trapped. frustrating! gonna go hitch a ride out tomorrow to get a change of scenery. nite all .

well yesterday was an alright day. rested most of the day but last night was a real rough night for sleeping. woke up 3 times again and at 2:30 my chest was killing me and had a hard time getting out of bed at that time. took a couple pain killers at that time and was alright after that until i got up for the day this morning. it will be so nice when i can sleep through the night. i am sleeping through the day too much because i am not sleeping through the night. my taste buds are so completely messed up still. had some strawberries and grapes last night which i love both of those but i didn't even enjoy them because they didn't taste right. can't wait till they get back to normal. How long does that normally take? cuz it is driving me nuts making me not want to eat because everything tastes gross to me. even coffee which i love.

Seems we all have the taste bud mess that is for sure.
The fact is it will come back,how long it takes everyone is
different but the best part is it returns,awful to wanna eat
and nothing tastes good.i really missed coffee and couldnot
tolerate it,still have a problem with this,but it's gonna come

You sound like your doing very well along with sleep mess too.
I sure have been there too.
Don't overdo,continue to try to eat,rest,sleep when you need to.
