Well now it's time to chill in the cardiac ward. Good thing is that with the unusual nature of my heart attack is that my heart health such as cholesterol is all quite good, permanent damage is minimal. I'm monitored closely for a few days, eat some of the terrible food.
(For the record the hospital food in the main building is awful, Swanson Salsbury steak awful, and in the cardiac ward it's extra no salt/sugar/fat/anything)
In a few days I'm sent home, in about six hours I'm back.
You know I never did address that whole not eating, gut pain thing. I was so happy to have recovered from the heart attack that I took home some pretty significant issues.
So after a long wait for a bed I find myself in the Cancer center. To make a long story short, after about five days of numerous drugs, painkillers, and erratic scheduled bowel movements I am ready to go home again. Definitely glossing over how long five days in the hospital can be.
So now I have a list of meds and pills that I take every day, plus painkillers for when I need them (which I take subcutaneously thank goodness, so if I'm not digesting I still can get some relief). Should I mention the flatulence, probably not.
Anyways, things are working and here I am up to date. A new round of Chemo starts on Tuesday (different medications). Guardedly Optimistic.
I want to thank everybody who has supported me and sent their best wishes my way, my apologies if you have not heard from me as much as I should, things have been overwhelming at times. but every gesture is appreciated. I thank you all.
Lets see what the the future holds.
