Everything and a kitchen sink.

values have fallen.  Go to hospital for dialysis.  Away we went.  Tech looked at shunt and said one side is good the other side is immature.  Surgeon came in and said he would schedule me for next day for a shunt on neck then dialysis.

Did that the next day.  Put in room postop.  Developed afib.  Put in ICU.  Then nex t day had dialysis.  One more day, another dialysis.  Sent home.

At home that night becme dyspneic. Very short of breath.  Went to Er.  They said you were given a lot of this.  I was given a lo of that.  Heart went way slow.  Transferred via ambulance to BayArea Hospital.  Ride like a carnival.  Got there in Er. They say admit immediately and I do not remember anything else.  Because I have petit mal.  That thing where I do no remember stuff.

I was transferred to Mercy Medical do not remember same reason.  When next I became aware of anything the viral death tole was 12000.  I was in a regular room and developed pauses.  I was trasferred to ICU.  Heart doctor saw me and say pacemaker. 

Next day got  pacemaker inserted.  Much better now. Discharged next day.
I was awake for the pacemaker.  I felt all the shoves.  I have bruises to prove it.

Husband came over to take me home.

If anyone called abd chatted with me I do not remember.  I hope we had a silly good time.  Tim says I was super chatty.  Yeek. 

My cardiac meds were eliminated and now I have ten or so fewer to put in pill boxes.  Yay.  It is still a whole ye gods bunch if pills.  Because of my kidney syndrome applesauce tastes bitter.  Must find some else to gulp down the medication.  Oh I wonder if Rocky Road would work.  Yep  it tastes delicious.

In summary, I was in Er twice, in Bay Area once and in Mercy Medical twice.  All of which I do not remember except first ER visit and the last Mercy visit.  I wish not to do this again.

We are considering Home Health evaluation.  And a memory aid such as a large whige board with room for seven days of activities just in came I forget, ah that's what happened.

I will shecedule with Dr. Holland and talk about the many new diagnoses and ask her if she thinks a referal to neurology is appropriate.  Ick.
