Day 3

I want to go home. I so want to go home. I’m sure I can manage. But the doctor wants me in for another day as my heart continues to run away with itself. I’m off the drug drip now and am taking all my heart medication orally. I am also on blood thinners to prevent clots and this is given by injection into the fatty tissue of my stomach and hurts a fair bit. The injection is given carefully so as not to bruise me and the only nurse who fails to do this carefully enough is of course Nurse Cathleen who leaves me black and blue on my left side. Sigh!
