More notes about Heart
LJ is becoming that weird little coffee shop that you are not sure how it stays afloat but you are glad it does so you can come sometimes and have a drink and get something off your chest. I had the Ablation procedure done yesterday. I am feeling pretty good, tired but about the same tired as a good event with too much sun. So, I did not go to the demo where I had planned on sitting and looking pretty and not fighting but I am staying home and doing a thing and resting. Yesterday, I got a call to come to the hospital early, they called at 8:45am when I was still in bed since we did not have to be at Methodist until 10am and I live 8mins from the hospital. Steven had to finish breakfast and we got there at 9:30 and used the valet parking since I did not want to figure out where to park but just get in and get settled. I checked in at the front desk and then the volunteer tried to take me to the lab, but I waved him off since I was so sure that I had done the lab work last week. Turns out he was right and I was wrong but I would sit for a while before they discovered that I had not done the lab work before coming up, even though the volunteer tried to tell them. I was just so sure that I did not need lab work that morning. It turns out that my left side is a failure point for trying to get IV"s into. I will remember this as both nurses hit valves, they could draw blood but not get the iv in sucurely. So, I got my IV in my right side. I went down to the operating theatre and they stuck all the stickies they needed all over me and give me the knock out drugs. I had weird dreams and there was blue and white fabric hanging all thru the dreams ( Illiton's colors are blue and white and we have been looking for just the right blue and white fabric) I came out of deep sleep three times, said hello, hello and then I got to go back down deep. I was really concerned one time because my legs hurt, since I have tight tendons and they hurt.
I woke up in the recovery room and I was groggy but not in pain. I ate and steve took me home. I slept some more got up and ate some yogurt. I got up this morning and I might weight was up, sigh. Maybe I over ate on Thursday, the day I had to stop eating at midnight, maybe I did not move enough during the day I spent sitting and then being drugged out.
My doctor took me off metoprolol right then after surgery. I am glad of that
I need to do a week or two of blood presure testing. I have my own cuff and I have taken it before, its just a thing, I have to make time in the morning to do the test.
