I’m home

I’m home

I had an exciting morning. Breakfast was served and I sat up to eat. My heart rate went berserk. Three nurses and the NP went charging into my room. My heartrate was in the 140s. I felt fine. But I felt anxious afterwards. I hadn’t been taking my beta blocker so they corrected that. My heartrate has been in the 80s and 90s all weekend. I had a feeling it was going to go berserk on me for whatever reason. It didn’t upheld my discharge or cause my headaches to come back. I have been free for almost 24 hours. The second dose of IV Depakote really worked. I went to pick up my meds after being discharged. They have me on steroids for a few days.

I came home and did my meds. I am contemplating shaving my head and showering. I definitely need to brush my teeth as I haven’t all weekend. I got a Starbucks coffee as a treat. I was kind of out of breath walking around the square. I just walked slow. I had lunch before leaving the hospital. I am feeling pretty full. I will probably have something in a few hours. I still have some roast beef. I got a small container of half and half because I totally forgot to order it on my grocery order. I have no idea how I forgot as that is usually the first thing on my list. Now I have to get it at the store either Tues or Wed. I have to get my blood work done Wed so maybe will go then.

I am tired. I was woken up a few times during the night for vitals. The night nurse was so nice. He gave me some Gatorade. I hate some chest discomfort last night with the stupid chest wall pain. They did an EKG to rule out cardiac stuff. I knew it wasn’t because it was the same pain I have been having for over a year. I had stickers on my chest otherwise I would have asked for diclofenac gel to slather on it. I tried napping but I am a difficult napper unless I am dead tired. I can rest but I won’t be able to sleep or doze.

Sox game played already. They lost. I don’t think they are going to make it to the wild card game. I have the evening free so I might read Moby Dick for a few chapters. I wish I brought it with me. I was bored in the hospital but trying to read social media on my phone made my head hurt more so I couldn’t do it. I ended up just laying on the bed. It was hard to even think at times. My brain just felt it was being crushed the whole time I was there. CT was negative. I wish they did an MRI. I would have felt more reassured. I plan on following up with my neuro. Everyone had high praise for my neurologist. She is a good one. I do like her.
