Home again

Well, I am home now. A bit sore but home and doing great. The heart cath turned inhto a angioplasty with a stint placement. Aparently normally they do bypass in same situtions but the doctor just decided to do a stint instead and only the one place the artery was 90% blocked. Aparently theres is at least 1 more 80% blockage I will have to go back for in a month. And the doc has added plavix to my list of daily pills.

The hospital wasn't to bad. My only real gripe that I had was the area i was in didnt have private restrooms. But when they finally did allow m e to get up and go my body sure needed the movement. Laying still for 9+ hours sucks. The sandbag part wasnt bad at all. Rarely noticed it.
But man have they got a cool kitchen setup. You order from your room just like room service and YOU Get to pick what you want. Unlike most hosptials where you get 2-3 choices. I had for dinner last night broiled chicken, broccoli, seasoned veggie m edely, a salad, diet coke and a chocolate chip cookie. Food was good! Chicken tiny bit dry but wow it all had flavor. then for breakfast I had a omlette with chedar cheese, tomatoes, onions & mushrooms, fresh strawberries, hash browns, sugar free vanilla pudding and milk. I was a bit suprised when I went to order dinner and got told I HAD to pick 2 carbs. LOL I spend 95% of the rest of my life avoiding carbs and they insisted on 2.

I dunno what the kids have been up to but the couch is now broken. Rather pissed about that sitting here its creaking to hell and I can feel a board against my back moving.

Getting AJ to drive us up & back was a godsend. For once I wasn't a nervous wreck being in the city.
I also had a rather cute male nurse overnight. lol. that takes some getting used to. But it wasn't a bad experience he was nice.

They brought marv in a nice reclining chair and then got him pillows & blankets so he was comfortable. He didn't sleep much so he is in bed now sleeping. I actually slept pretty well for being in the hosptial. Normally i fit sleep in hosptials but this time I got aa few 4+ hour stretches instead of half hour ones. But I gotta admit the nurses were fast responding to calls and didnt pester you every hour.

Aprehensive

Well this time tomorow I will be on my way to the hospital. Tomorow is my heart cath. To say I am a bit ancious is a understatement. Only managed 5 hours sleep today lol.

Been playing the sims 2 the last few days and this time I have started making my own content for the game. So far its only been a few wallpapers. but its a start!!
Bleh gotta pack a bag today, Going to have my sister in law drive us there, marv will be staying overnight with me. since he put the van in the shop on tuesday and they haven't called us yet that it is done. Her car will take 1/3 of the cost of gas anyhow.
But I hope they (mechanic) call today so I can make a quick run to the store. Almost out of cough drops. lol The whole quitting smoking thing is still giving me fits. I still keep trying to reach for my cig case. The cough drops help imensely but they drive my blood sugar up. Why can't they make sugar free ones in menthol?

My doc said I could stop the patches at anytime. But why, I mean heck they are already payed for. Might as well finish using them rather then having the boxes sitting around. Pharmacy didnt send the whole 10 weeks worth anyhow cause they didn't have 4 boxes of the 21 mg in stock so I only have 6 weeks worth lol. Well gotta go toss som stuff on to wash, and start packing my bag.
