Heart

Aug 01, 2014

I was in the hospital for over a week and the day had finally come when they were going to send me home or at least that was the plan. Doctor M came to in that day and he was concerned about my heart some of my test had come back and he wanted to have his partner check it out. Doctor M had come to see me at 8 that morning his partner came to see me an hour later. Doctor M has always been so nice to me and always explained him self his partner well not so much. He was nice but I didn't understand most of what he said to me, I consider myself a smart person but talking to this doctor went way over my head. The only thing I really understood is that Doctor M thought I might have developed a heart murmur so he wanted to have me sent down and have some pictures taken of my heart using ultrasound. By the time he left it was only about 10 all I had to do the rest of the day was wait. It was close to 3 when they finally took me down to have the ultrasound if you know anything about gastric bypass you know that you are pretty much having your digestive tract completely redone so anything pushing on your stomach after you have it done can be quite painful for the first couple months especially the first 10 days. Having someone press down on my stomach for nearly an hour it was so painful that I nearly passed out. I could tell the woman who was doing the ultrasound felt bad she kept trying to talk to me and distract me which I appreciate it but it really didn't work I could tell that she felt really really bad but neither of us could do anything if I wanted to go home I had to have this done. To be completely honest I was scared I have never had heart problems so the idea of having some when I had just had the surgery was frightening. After the ultrasound all I could do was wait and well when the only thing you can do is lay in a hospital bed your mind starts to wonder. My mind went a lot of places what if something was really wrong. 6 o'clock rolled around and still no word from the the doctor so i was resigned to the fact I wasn't going home that day. That was until Doctor M's partner walked into my room right before 7 o'clock with a smile on his face. "Well Ursula" he said "Everything came back normal we are sending you home". The moment he said that I wanted to get up and kiss his feet but I didn't I settled with a thank you and got out of there. I was so grateful for all the that was done for me by the hospital especially the nurses but I was done being in the hospital I was ready to take the next step in my journey like I am now but I need your help to do that.
