Debbie, I'm regaining my strength slowly, but do feel a little better every
day. I don't really know too much about my heart yet. The cardiologist who
was seeing me in the hospital (a partner of my cardologist) didn't come in
on Saturday. The partner who came in during the early afternoon was there
only a few minutes when there was a code blue on the floor and he
disappeared. He had just been telling me that salt was poison! Late
afternoon another one came in and said, "do you want to go home?".. I said
yes and she disappeared to write the orders. I'll see my cardiologist on
the 13th and I'll be asking him a bunch of questions. Dr Chan, my cardio,
is back from the Phillipines and has had his nurse call to cancel one
medicine they sent me home taking. And I'm having regular coumadin checks.
I'm just taking a day at the time and trying to do a little more each day;
am just not pushing myself. Thanks for asking.
Gwen
