Update Finally!
I've been meaning to update for a while, but things kept changing so fast with Annie...
So, ok, this is where we are. She had a calcium blockage drilled/sliced out of the lower anterior coronary artery and a stent placed on Tuesday, June 16th. On the 19th, she was stepped down to a regular med/surg floor for about a week, and then transferred to short-term rehab. She came home on July 9th.
She kept saying she felt weird and weak, but that's not unusual when recovering after a major heart attack.
Unfortunately, on Friday July 17th, in the evening, she collapsed while trying to get up following a home hemo-dialysis treatment. I called 911 and she was re-admitted to the hospital. Her potassium level was 2.4, which is dangerously low, and her other electrolytes were out of whack too.
So, she was in hospital for another week, and then last Friday, she went back to short-term rehab, only a longer short-term place where she'll be for another 2-3 weeks.
Because of Covid, I can't visit her at rehab, which I totally understand, but I miss seeing her so much.
