My heart was broken and I got it fixed. This is my journey through open heart surgery and the following sucky months of recovery. I'll continue blogging until this old body of mine is strong enough to run a mile up a mountain road to claim my "Rocky moment."

DAY 21 - Recovey
Today was consumed by medical appointments, lots of driving and lots of waiting. We headed 25 miles north this morning to have a blood test for the blood thinner, Coumadin. Stopped at the mini-mall but with lungs not cooperating I walked less than a half-mile. Drove 40 miles south to SC this afternoon for a chest x-ray at the Diagnostic Center and then to the heart surgeon's office. The good news is that I didn't get waylaid to the hospital. I was sent home with a prescription for an antibiotic for bronchitis and a diuretic to disperse any accumulating fluid. I've felt miserable all day. I look forward to tomorrow in hopes of a better day.

Glad no draining of the radiator today. So they gave you a diuretic and told you to drink plenty of water right? You will be getting your excercise, just not the way you thought. Tomorrow will be a better day and you get two more bananas!
I'll tell you what the voice doctor told me, pee clear it's the best thing for you. I guess that applies to your lungs too.
