Just woke up from the 10th night in the hospital to day 11. I better be going home today! One more dose of the medication, a normal EKG and they better boot me outta here. I told the nurses to give me my medications first. The sooner I get the meds the sooner I get the EKG (2 hour delay between the meds and EKG), the sooner the docs can read it and say its normal and then sign the pluthera of paperwork to get me outta here.
Can it really be day 11?
I have had visits from friends from AZ, Aspen, and Denver, couple guys from work and a couple guys from the neighborhood But nothings better than the visits from Family. My parents came out, Brother Bill came from Vero Beach, uncle BoBBy was here all the time, Aunt Jacqui visited, as did Dee-Dub and Meredith. Shauna and Rob were here. Were there others? Things are kinda hazy after 10 nights. But of course the best and most faithful visitor was my lovely wife Gina, without her I don't know what I would do? And I can't forget Anna. I know its hard for her to be here but I am thankful for every moment we are together.
3 Hospital stays, 3 emergency room visits, 2 ambulance drives, 2 911 calls, 6 or 7 defibrillator shocks, 1 shower, 0 cups of coffee, numerous blood draws and IVs, a million different beeps and sounds from all the monitors, a couple laps around the floor, PET scans, chest x-rays, a boat load of pills, a bunch of EKGs, a ton of Cardiac Diet breakfast lunch and dinners, and on and on and on... What a crazy couple of months we have had?
Oh and the WetzelFamily.net web site needs to be registered again and today is the last day. I deferred doing it thinking that I would be home in time to do it but I'm still in the hospital. Once I get out its gonna be a shower nap and then bed time with food between all of them.
Ok I am now cleaned my self up, cleaned up room 1027, up, ordered breakfast, and seen the first of 3 or 4 doctors. He just comes in and gives a general overall health exam and says it looks good. Now a cardiac surgeon just came in and I don't know why? Maybe because it sunday and he is the one stuck working. I told him I was expecting him and that he was the one to sign all the paper work to get me outta here and he just stared at me. I said I just made that all up but am feeling fine and ready to go home. He said they will see me later and let me know. I am really waiting for either or both Dr B and Dr S (Plumber and Electrician respectively) to give me the official go ahead. Breakfast is here. I must eat my last veggie omelet with salsa (forgot to order the turkey sausage)...
Done eating and am back to waiting. I got up at about 3:00 am so I have be waiting for 5 hours now...
