Tuesday November 18 was so damn scarry Because of High Blood Pressure and High Pulse Rates 144/82/114 and the fluttering feelings I was having, That had me scared so bad I thought this aint good. It was almost as scarry as the Time when I had Fluid on the heart in 1974. I was glad to survive that one believe you me. Two other male patients had the same thing and they did not survive and hearing Code Blue ICU twice in 2 days was in its self scarry.
In the Emergency room I had not One but Two Cardiologists tell me that they were not confortable in sending me home and that I was being admitted to the Cardiac Floor of The MetroHealth’s New Hospital The Glick Center. I was given a strong dose of Lasix via my IV while I was still in the Emergency Room and about 8 hours later in my room in the cardiac floor I got another dose from each shift until Thursday Afternoon They had given me too much lasix and my blood preasure became really low. so they stopped further Lasix injections and Gave me a Big bag of IV fluids, on thursday afternoon. By Friday morning they decided that I was finally stable enough to be sent Home. 2 of me my morning medications was reduced by half and 2 more meds were added. I came Home Friday Afternoon around 5:45 Pm. I grabbed a bite to eat took my Nightine Meds and promply went to sleep on my recliner chair in my Livingroom and did not get up until 3:00 Am went to the bathroom and slept until 7:30 Am and started Saturday. Saturday night I I took my nightime meds and went to bed at 7:30. I toom my morning meds and started the day on Sunday and to play safe meds and Bed at 7:30 again.
I trust everyone else Had a last Week and a Good Weekend!!
