This will be the last post of the night. After such a busy morning, the afternoon fell apart again.

Physical Therapy came in to walk with Bill and when he started to walk he had another episode of v-tach. His device did not fire this time, the pacemaker paced him out of it like it is supposed to. But, these episodes leave him totally drained. Dr. Hosenpud has put him back on amiodorone which is what he was taking before the surgery.

We had talked to Tina about his progressing from her point of view and she said that as soon as he could be weaned off the oxygen we could plan our outings, possibly as early as Monday! That would mean he could be discharged by Wednesday. But, these v-tach episodes complicate things. When we told her that he had been on amiodorone before the surgery she was surprised that he had not been put back on it.

Apparently the stomach cramps and nausea Bill had earlier in the week is a little stomach bug because I came home early with those same symptoms. Thought at first it was my lunch but I really think there's something else. So, I'm drinking a cup of tea and, since it is almost dark, I'm calling it a day!
