I'm home! Made a mistake on the day I was to have my angiogram and, if the nurse hadn't called by mistake, I would have missed it! Thank goodness I seldom eat right away after waking up. I made it to the hospital in time for all the BS they put you through. There was an intervention so I had to spend the night (of course!) and got some bad news. I have to have another bypass but this time in the left leg. I knew something was wrong with that leg just from the pain I had when I walked any distance at all. A trip to Walmart that involved walking to the back of the store damn near crippled me. I was lucky to make it back to my car. Thank goodness it was the left leg and not the one I need to drive.
I can't drive now until I see the doctor in two weeks (Ha!). We'll see about that stuff. When I have the bypass surgery is up in the air at the moment. The doctor says if I don't have any more pain in that leg, we can postpone it for a while but.....I believe I will have to have it within the next month.
For someone who never really liked fatty foods or the kind of soppy, greasy stuff the Beast loves, I can't believe how I am having plaque problems in my arteries. Sheesh!
I did finally get my pneumonia shot before I left the hospital. It's only a year overdue but better late than never.
Well, I need to try to get some sleep. They woke me every half hour to check my blood pressure, temperature, incision and take my blood sugar. You can never sleep in a hospital, I swear! If they aren't waking you, those beds are uncomfortable as hell. I yearn for my own bed and my recliner. They are both more comfortable than any hospital bed....LOL
It's going to be really hot outside today (in the low 90's) and I am looking forward to it. They keep those rooms at the hospital cold as ice.
Love you all. Hope your week is better than mine! ***Hugs***
