Hospital Time Again

Tomorrow I will be having surgery on my right hip to remove a tumor. I do not know the extent of the surgery at this time, just that the tumor has to come out. Unlike my two heart surgeries earlier this year this surgery does not have me scared for my life. I am sure I will be back to normal life in a few weeks and blogging in a couple of day. Until then happy quilting!

La Cosa Nostra has gotten both of us through the bad times and you are the best friend I could of hoped for. You are forever in my heart.

Just Got Home From The Hospital

It is 11:04pm Tuesday Chicagoland time and I just got home from the hospital. Last night at 7:00pm I got a call from the doctor's office to go to the Emergency Room ASAP because my blood test taken earlier in the day showed my counts were dangerously low. I tried to talk the doctor out of me going to the hospital but she said no way. Once at the hospital I was taken right away because the doctor had called and said I was on my way. As soon as I said I was still having chest pains and was in the hospital only two weeks ago for my second angioplasty and two stents I was rushed off for an EKG, full blood workup including cardiac enzymes. Still had low blood counts, EKG showed slight changes and enzymes are OK ( I did not have any new heart attacks). Today I met a whole bunch of new and old doctors and the last doctor came to see me tonight at 8:30PM. She and I talked, I said I wanted to go home and she agree. I am so happy to be home and ready for my own pillow, bed, hug my dogs and pup.

I have a lot of comments to read, blogs to read and email to catch up with. I am not sure I will ever catch up if I keep spending time in the hospital.

Thank-you to everyone who keeps reading my blog. I Love You!!!!

Photos From The Hospital

Here are some photos from when I was in the hospital. I was getting ready to go for a walk so I had on a mask and as I walked out the door I put on gloves. The blue pouch on my chest is the portable monitor. It was so good not being hooked up to the wall so I could be mobile. This bed was not a comfortable as the bed in CCU and did not have a wall of machines and monitors. I wish I had a photo of the CCU room because it is space age looking with all the machines and monitors.
I was being cocky one day and wrote my name on the white board behind my bed. Could you tell it was time for me to go home.
Sign by the door of my room.
These flowers are from the best friend I have in the whole world. I did not know I had them for two days because I could not have flowers in my room. They stayed outside by the door on a table. My sister told me she showed me them the first day they came but I was still out of it. The photo was take at home in the kitchen.
