Flying home

gja1000 · 10-11-2010, 04:46 PM

YAY! I'm home for the evening. Gary is doing great and so I came home a bit early to take care of a few things at the house. Plus, Brooke brought Rex & Rowdy home this afternoon and they are sooooo glad to see me. They really don't mind staying at Brooke's while we are gone, but they MUCH prefer to be in their own home with their own doggie door! Brooke doesn't have a doggie door, so they have to wear belly bands and be let in and out, while they are there because they have not learned to "hold it" very well. At home, they can just run in and out at will - and they are much happier!

It's amazing how much better Gary is feeling. I'm so glad we decided to hop a plane yesterday - I don't think he could have tolerated that fluid overload much longer.

Whew! Thank goodness he was diagnosed and is being taken good care of. I am so sorry your vacation didn't go well, but as long as he is okay......

Oh My! My sweet hubby is in an Ambian (sleeping pill) coma. LOL! Poor baby. Ambian just knocks him out. He'll be snoring till noon or later! He always has trouble sleeping but he takes Lunesta when he needs it which doesn't just knock him out. I don't know why they gave him Ambian.

I have class this afternoon at 4:00. I hope his cardiologist who has been out of town comes by before I leave. I think he is better today, but he's so sleepy, I'm not sure!

doctor came by - all is well - he'll probably go home tomorrow afternoon or Thurs morning.

Gayle I am so relieved and glad that Gary is getting better.

Well another doc came by and is worried that gary's abdomen is still pretty big (when he is fluid overloaded, he carries the fluid in his belly) and his belly seems harder than normal. So she is going to run an ultrasound of his abdomen. I think it feels harder than usual too. Sure hope something else is not wrong!

Gayle, I'm just reading that your trip didn't go as expected. I'm glad to hear that Gary's better but still going to have to do some more tests. You go through so much with him.......Hugs to you!!!! Gary will be in my prayers!!!
