Rabbits - The Big Day update
Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 6:59 amAmazing I remembered to say Rabbits this morniong - sure hope some of its Karma works - need some here.
Bill went over to Bloomington Hospital yesterday morning for his preop testing and had another "episode" right there at the "filling out the paperwork" desk. So he was rushed to emergency and was promptly admitted. That hospital is about 4x bigger than the other one. When they moved him from emergency to the cardiac floor they moved him in his bed at NASCAR speed. The nurses told me it was standard procedure to go fast and they meant it. One was in front clearing the hallway of people and obstructions. "Get out of the way." "Move that chair." etc. The other was pushing the bed, I almost had to run to keep up with them. By the time we got to the elevator I was ready to lay down on the bed with him. Puff puff puff! the male nurse said he was surprised I kept up with them - so was I. They got him settled in a private room on the cardiac care floor and he is doing and feeling fine again. (he was laughing about the ride) Even fed him a tuna salad sandwich for lunch. They are keeping his heart rate below 50 and his blood pressure below 100 so he now talking with a drawl. Doesn't remember when they did the invasive test on him when he was in the Columbus hospital. Kind of worries me - hope he was just really doppy during that period of time. Seems to be remembering everything else though.
Yesterday afternoon they took him for "vein mapping" and surgery is still scheduled for tomorrow morning at 7:00 - this is starting to wear on me a little. I really dislike the drive into Bloomington - it is actually 1 mile shorter but takes a lot longer - lots of hills and curves. I know I sound whimpy about the driving - but since I retired about 9 years ago I have done very little driving - probably until last week less than 200 miles. If we go anywhere we go together and he drives. When I was working I drove usually about 100 miles a day on Los Angeles freeways and streets. And drove to Frisco, Arizona and Neveda several times. Just out of practice I guess.
We finally got our water back on after 24 hours. Electricity hasn't gone off for a couple of days -hoorey! Today isn't supposed to be quite as muggy but still up in the low 90s.
Going to call the RV place and let therm know we are going to store the RVs there for at least a couple of months more.
So that is where we are at right now. Will keep you posted.
Had friends drop by last night with salads for us for dinner - sure glad they came as I was in a blue mood.
Going to schedule a quick check up for myself - have never been bothered with high blood pressure but just want to check. Most of the time now it feels like the top of my head wants to blow off.
