Normal
Good morning, bunnies, I may as well start off with the good news part of my experience Right? So the good news first is that I'm home and still kicking. The bad news is that they weren't able to do the stents yesterday after all. Seems like all the arteries in my pelvis are also filled up with junk and that's the way they need to get in to the leg arteries. I didn't find this out until 2 hours later after them spending the time taking pictures inside my leg. Then to add insult to injury, I had to be in the recovery room for 2 1/2 hours before I couldgo home.While I was in recovery, the doctor was busy figuring out how to proceed now. Bottom line is that now I have to be at the hospital 6:30 AM. They will actually do 2 procedures - Clean out the pelvic arteries and then put stents into BOTH legs as needed!! I have no idea how long this will all take, but do know I will b in the hospital for 3-4 days. So now you all know as much as I do !!Karen - So sorry to hear about your SIL and her battle with the big C. I hope hospice is able to make her comfortable at least.Karen - You need to find out the name of that appetite med thatyour friend Elaine is on. I could use something like that as I have no appetite these days,I'm going to get off here for now as my fingers are not typing what I want typed and I have to keep going back correcting typos. I guess I';m still pretty tired as I didn't sleep rll again last night. Now go play nice and behave.
