Back last night

Jul 09, 2011

Retruned home last evening - two nights in the hospital. They did not do the cardioaversion after all.  The "electro" cardiologist, suggested blood thinners and beta blockers for a month first.  He believes the condition will likely resolve itself within that time without intervention - let's hope he's right.

For those contemplating the surgery, I can say that it was less traumatic and uncomfortable than I feared.  The pain killers are more than enough to handle the situation.  I plan on stopping them except at night starting in two days. I was able to finish a protein shake with little discomfort this morning.  It is amazing to feel absolutely no hunger after not eating anything solid for this long. The only significant discomfort came last night when I took a drink of water in the middle of the night without thinking about it.  Remember sip slowly.  I got a good sharp pain in the gut for my carelessness.
