The dr. finally came in a little after 8 last night. Said he wants Bill to triple his amiodorone for a month to see if that helps. He's supposed to move to a regular room sometime today and this afternoon or evening the dr. will make a decision about going home.
For my mother and daughter, I did manage to sleep some last night and feel pretty rested this morning. Don't know how long that will last but we shall see. And as soon as I finish this post I'm heading to the cafeteria for some breakfast.
The dr. did tell him some things to do to recognize the different types of being tired. He's to monitor his blood pressure and pulse more than he does, especially if he's really tired in the morning. And if he feels anything is not quite right, he's to call the office and then initiate a download from the pacemaker.
He also said that if the medication doesn't help he will do another ablation. Of course, maybe a hew heart will become available before then and solve all of the problems. But, before anyone can say it, that's a whole new ballgame with a new set of rules.
All for now, I can see Bill at 9 and I'll update everyone then.
