I had wanted to update my journal about this Wednesday, but I came out of work exhausted and couldn't find the energy to type something out
( Read more... )
Also - you were probably nervous which would have raised your blood pressure. Most important figure is the bottom one (diastolic). Should be below 80 in someone your age. (Mine is super low naturally and when I was last in hospital it was 90/40. They don't let you stand at that point).
Glad you're ok! Can imagine you were hungry after that (I've only had emergency abdominal surgery and 4 hours of people cutting into your stomach really puts you off food).
Hope it heals up soon. Do you need to go in and get the stitches taken out at all?
Yeah, that probably didn't help. I didn't really pay attention to the numbers, but I think that one was over 90 which is prob. why they mentioned it. They also said to go visit my housedoctor when I'm in a 'normal' state to get it checked again.
I don't have to go back, and I don't think there are stitches in there at all. It kind of has to scab over, sorta speak? But yeah, hope it heals soon as well, because not really being able to talk without pain sucks (and you suddenly realise how ofter you actually have something to say XD).
That is a little high. But you've been ill, which isn't going to help. Basically, it's not a reliable indicator of your health until you get better. Which will hopefully be super soon. :)
That's good. Tonsil surgery isn't something I know much about (as we don't do it routinely).
