Saw the surgeon yesterday
The appointment with the surgeon went well yesterday. I was able to get rid of the heart hugger (a bunch of straps wrapped around me that I held whenever I got up or down that protects my heart). I just need to be careful when moving around. There are movements I'm not allowed to make, and I can't lift, push, or pull more than 10 pounds. But I am healing.
Also, we're pretty sure my high blood sugar was only because of the trauma. I haven't gotten the blood sugar meds yet, and my morning fasting sugar was only 101. It was 103 yesterday, and 107 the day before that. It's going down each day. The surgeon said it's correcting itself since I never had blood sugar problems before this.
I will try to update more as I recover more.
Thanks to everyone for all you have done for me through this. Your support means the world to me.
