LOUIS's Journal

Well first full day home. Took full wk in hospital. Last 2 days I had blood on bandage over where drainage tubes were. One is leaking n sting sutures were left in. Moving and walking like I'm 90. Change bandage around 5 pm from yesterday and little blood but going to bed I noticed more blood below gauze (bigger) hope it doesn't keep leaking as it is concerning.
Hey everyone during discharge I was surprised to here we are at risk of something called Endocarditis. Just another thing to be concerned about.
Surgery main IV on left arm also had to be changed because is was sore and getting painful along with swelling. Had to contact someone today as it wasn't getting better but not really getting worse. I was only concerned because of that ENDOCARDITIS. Sounded bad but my GP and a Nurse said it happens. Sorry pictures are of leakage still going on.

Not sure where to start. I want to get to reading all you heart angel's but thought I would post update first. Went well check in Tuesday and awoke Wednesday from tissue valve replacement and 1 bypass. They kept changing me care rooms but had to keep me monitored because of heart pulse was running high. Controlled now and they moved me upstairs. Glad down yonder I had asked if they could take that catheter out sooner. Chest tubes were fast but also worried as they said hold breath when pulling out so no air get's in. Off oxygen and chest and leg bandages came off. Walking and eating.

YOU GUY'S I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IN 2022 THE HOSPITAL FOOD IS SO BAD AND BACKWARDS! If they say it's important to eat and do it healthy shouldn't the food be somewhat good and healthy? Maybe it's just me that really does eat healthier then I thought. 😏 I can stand to loose some weight.
Sister in Kentucky mailed me this over big heart pillow that is way to big need to go back to a smaller one. Post more later with recovery. Cheers to everyone .
