I think the mack truck parked on top of me. The a-fib is under control for now with coumadin and amiodren plus some other stuff. I have no energy. I am finally falling asleep for a few hours at a time and then move or eat - then back to the chair to rest. I am on tramodal for pain - more stiffness than real pain. I am sleeping in the recliner. The bed is just not comfortable.
I am lucky to have several good freinds. One stays with me at night, the others help with the dogs and get me out for a short walk into a resturant.
I can't believe how bad this surgery is compared to my hip resurfacing. I was able to pretty good periods of activity in between the naps. With this, I can hardly get out of the chair. I think thinks will get better.
I stayed in the hospital 8 days, was released Monday afternoon. Instead of staying in Cleveland they suggest we drive home. I am having my inr tested Friday. I have to go back to Cleveland for a Tuesday appointment.
I can't find one bad thing to say about the Cleveland Clinic. Loved the private room. The food - I really can't tell since I am tasting well. I ate a lot of fresh fruit in the hospital. That's the only thing that tasted good.
I don't have much staying power, so I will update again.
