Amazing what sleeping in your own bed can do!!! We were both getting pretty concerned last night. His fever spiked at 102.9 so we started with Tylenol. All Bill could eat last night was a small cup of pudding, only because he knew he had to eat something. His bp was also all over the place again and he could hardly walk. He was very dizzy and weak.

But, by bedtime his temp was down to 99. We went to bed...in our bed...and set 2 alarms on my cellphone for meds. We woke once at midnight for the 1st dose and then both of us slept well until the other alarm went off at 6 for the 2nd dose. I got up shortly after that and was surprised when Bill got up about 7.

He looks much better this morning and he's taking his time moving. I've been telling him that he needed to take his time after he stood up if he was dizzy. His bp this morning was 102/61 and his heart rate was 84 so he'll get his Coreg this morning. One of the drawbacks of being off the Coreg and Inspra is that those 2 drugs also regulate his heart rate. Since he has been off of them for a few days, his heart rate is increasing some. So, something else to keep an eye one.

I had to go through his meds last night and dumped an entire bottle. I hope I got them all picked up! We'll check his bp again before he gets his meds. He also wants to try some oatmeal this morning. So, after the little nap he's taking, we'll see about some breakfast.

Today is the day to call Julie and let her know what he wants to do. We also need to get his appointment made with Dr. Burnett for follow up with all of this stuff and talk to the dental clinic. We also need to talk to some family to let them know he's home. So much to do...so little time!

All for now!
