July 12,13 Mood
Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Well all is looking good and I hope to be out on July 14. We did run into a problem on July 12. Around 6:00 PM my nurse came in and asked if everything is OK. I said I felt fine and she proceeded to tell me that I had developed AFIB. She said it was nothing to worry about and about 40% of the patients end up with it. It will either convert itself back to sinus or they will have to treat it. I guess my pressure`dropped so they gave me a lot of IV and cardiac drugs to raise my pressure. Within 1 hour i had converted back to normal sinus rhythm. So now they need to get rid of all the fluid they gave me. If anybody is familiar with diuretics then the know the pleasure of spending more time peeing then not peeing.  I find that I am not sleeping as well as i use to. I wonder why? Well they are`still talking about me going home on July 14Th.
