Back in the hospital again

Well here I sit in ICU again (thank goodness for wifi) my heart is doing its tricks again. I suffer from an irregular heart beat and my heart throws PVC's every few beats. I am on medication to keep it under control but Sunday night I found out the hard way it isn't working so well anymore. I got out of bed to go to the kitchen to get a bottle of water the next thing I know I am face down on the floor in a pool of blood and my two front teeth are laying in the pool of blood. My nose is bleeding and both of my lips are split open. I managed to get up and get to the car and my wife drives me to the hospital. Once they get me in the ER and get me hooked up to the heart monitor it shows my heart rate was erratic and my blood pressure was very low. By now I am starting to realize that more than my face is hurting. My little finger on my left hand is hurting and my left side in the rib area is sore. Turns out I broke my finger and bruised my ribs besides busting my face along with a black eye. I look like a hockey player that lost to many fights. On Monday my heart doctor came in and told me the medication I was on wasn't working like it should anymore (yeah no shi@)so he changed the dosage of my atenolol, dropped my coreg, kept my lisnopril the same and started me on a new drug called maxitil. Now they are keeping me here until tomorrow to see if the meds are working, if they work I can go home. Guess I should start singing the song all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.

WTH Al.....

Get better soon man.

How about a new song:  All I want for Turkey Day is my two front teeth?

Damn sorry to hear about this Al,

I hope they can get you back into a nsr.  I had a run there where I was throwing pvc's, I could feel it when it happened.  They never did find the cause, and it self resolved.

Sorry to hear about the associated injuries.  You need to make up some kick ass story about how it happened.  The hocky line could be a good one to go with.

Anyhow, heres to a speedy recovery for you.

Good Luck Al Hope the meds kick in. you will need to probably keep a closer monitor with WLS now

I'm so sorry , hope you feel better. The good thing is that your wife was with you at that moment and took you to the ER. Have faith in God and you will see that all the medication changes and adjustments will work. Keep us up date on your progress.

Lobbing up some prayers for a speedy recovery of your injuries and better control of your heart.  Hang in there and hopefully things will get better.

Al hope you get to feeling better, just think of all the years your doc went to school just to tell you your med's aren't working!
