Got out and about again today. Stopped and walked/shopped at the Goodwill store (great finds BTW with $5 suitcase!) and then into my hospital to surprise my Neonatal Clinic Girls...how I love them. They were all interested in how the device looked, how big, where it is, etc. Since they are all medical folks this was of high importance LOL. Of course, I also had to brag on the grandkids.
Pain meds used every 12 hours and I am wondering/worrying if the doc will refill. The vicodan takes away the presence/my perception of the device and I tend to be more active, otherwise I want to remain supine and gravity free. Certainly makes a difference when getting comfortable in bed at night. I still have to use my body pillow when sleeping on my right side. Someone at work told me its like the pillow they give you after heart surgery.
Finished off my day with visit to furniture consignment (found a great cherry twin bed for Mike) and then off to produce store.
Working around the house tomorrow to get things straighened and decluttered. Things I never get to do on work days. I have two pantry closets that really need to be reorganized so that may be on the agenda.
I also have my one month post op study visit with my surgeon. I have to have a chest xray beforehand. Note that this is not part of a traditional defibrillator followup so study will pay for this in full. The chest xrays are repeated thru the first year and again not part of the traditional followup. With digital xray technology I might be able to see it!
