Hello Smarties out there!
I'm sorry I haven't been here much...I've been having some challenges this go-round.
The day I was supposed to leave the hospital I had an episode of A-fib.
I ended up getting moved to a different floor for monitoring and had to stay an extra two days, but at least the conclusion is that I'm fine.
(This was happening at the same time I was tracking down a missing direct deposit for my severance pay...couldn't possibly be stress related,right????).
I got settled in the rehab facility, and my first morning here I had some other kind of episode that can best be described as being car sick while sitting still. It was bizarre and lasted for a couple of hours.
My pulse and BP were fine throughout..it felt like my brain was being bombarded and over stimulated.
I put a towel over my eyes and just tried to lay still until it got better. It eventually did.
I wonder sometimes if one or both episodes were reactions to the anesthesia...
Today's adventure is an ultrasound to check for a clot...which freaks me out. Again.
On the positive side, the awful grinding pain is gone from both knees!!!!
Huzzah!!!
Thanks for letting me unload!!
