Home Again.. Home Again...

I can't express how good it is to be going home finally. I just got visited by Lorris who is the nurse practitioner for Dr. Pernecle (the heart doctor). Looks like I need to check my blood pressure very frequently for the next 3 week and keep a log for the doctor - and they will be working on a follow-up consult with the clinic in Alabama as soon as possible as well to try to get the endocrine adjustments fine tuned. In the mean time, I'm supposed to avoid stress and take it easy for a week or two-so that they can get the baseline stabilized and will have something to work from. They're working on getting me a wheeled walker, and I'll be expected to take it to the mall or Wal-Mart and use it. In addition, they think that my body will be able to self regulate it's temperature in another week or so. So I shouldn't be soaked in sweat when the room temperature is only 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, I will be looking for the consult and appointment information from the clinic in Alabama and hopefully we will finally be getting in :) Overall life is looking good this morning.

You Will Never Guess where I am Blogging From

Ideally, I am thinking that every hospital in the US should offer free High-Speed Internet Service. Without that amenity I am rediscovering the "Joy's of Dial up!". But what pray tell got me here? You would have never guessed that either - as an insulin dependent diabetic who has been laboring furiously to control my blood pressure - it would seem that somehow I had an unexpected success, and for reasons unknown as yet my blood pressure dropped down to 50 something over 30 something This led to me crashing down into a fleshy heap, on brick paving right outside the Catholic church where I had just provided the music for the Charismatic Prayer Service. I remember standing then I was on the bricks and sure I had broken, or at least bruised a rib or two. After some belligerence on my part, I found myself in the Hospital ER - Where the the crowd of Doctors and Nurses roared "Let the Games BEGIN!". Overall, they did a wonderful job of figuring out a way to stabilize me before my ticker tocked. I'll be here until they can keep me stable outside of a hospital setting - hopefully by finding out what secret endocrine process is causing this - or is it really my ticker going out? Check in later for the news as it happens, and as I am capable of dialing in a posting it.
