Headed home

My oral blood thinner count is high enough to be sent home. Waiting for appointments and the discharge process to begin.

Yay.

As the doctor said to the man with the kidney stone, “this too shall pass.”
Welcome home! (And don’ get kidney stones.)

Woo-hoo!
12. Jim Hetley on Dec 1st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Good news! I hope you can *stay* out of there, this time. Hospitals are unhealthy places.

Good news!

Thank you for keeping us posted. Think of us hovering and fluttering and fluffing your pillow and adjusting your blanket and generally driving you bugfuck.
17. Steve Nagy on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 8:25 am
Good to hear, Toby.
18. tlither on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 8:52 am
Glad to hear you are doing better. I’m loving “The Cole Protocol” by the way. Get better so we can finish that interview for the 405th Source. Best wishes.

I’m glad you got to go home. Now I don’t have to send you the file baked into a cake.
20. Steve Buchheit on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 9:28 am
Hurray. Now stay out. Are the thinners a temporary thing or a permanent attachment?
21. Claude Errera on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 9:29 am
Great news! Here’s hoping it’s all smooth sailing from here on in.
22. Wyman Cooke on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 am
Steve, I think he said he’s on a six month course of treatment with those blood thinners.
23. Sarah Kelly on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 11:57 am
So glad to hear you’re going home!
Best wishes for staying well.

Good to hear the news. Take it easy for a few days and get yourself well.
30. SQT on Dec 3rd, 2008 at 12:48 am
Now you get to go home and recover from your hospital stay. Hope you feel better soon.
31. BeVibe on Dec 3rd, 2008 at 9:57 am
Are you home, or still stuck in the hospital? (I hope you’re home and sleeping in your own bed!)
I feel your pain. This happened to me, the being stuck in the hospital until a factor (in my case, my serum Potassium) was high enough to release me. I cried. Really. It was no fun.
You’re also probably still recovering from the cardiac cath. I know I was sore for quite a while after mine. Get lots of rest, and take a lie-down whenever you feel like it. Even if you don’t sleep, the *resting* will do you lots of good. The good news is you know your heart is in good shape. That is a relief. Things that are fixable thru medicine are much easier on you than things which can only be corrected thru surgery.

Get better Tobias!! We all need to know what’s happened to Earth in the past 300 years since the founding of Nanagada and Chilo.
Been on Heparin/Cumadin myself, I feel for you.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
