This has been one stressfull week. It started out very nicely and everything was proceeding as planned. Bob and I drove down to Phoenix after dropping Bonny off with Julie and Co. while we were gone. We had a great late lunch/early dinner, sat at the pool for a while then went to our room.
Got up early on Tuesday, went to the hospital for Bob's surgery which went well. I stayed at the hospital until 9:00 then went back to the hotel.
Wednesday, I went backto the hospital with the expectation of taking Bob home. I didn't check out of the hotel figuring we could stop by when we were ready to head home. When I get to the hospital he is waiting for physical therapist to come and show him the exercises he is to do once we get home.
He gets out of bed and stands up and starts go get dizzy and becomes clammy. The nurses take his blood pressure and it has drop fairly low. When the doctor comes to see him he informs him that he is not being released do to his blood pressure and he is hooked up to IV. I spend another day sitting at the hospital with Bob.
Thursday, I check out of the hotel and go to the hospital to pick up Bob and take him home. After speaking with him on the phone he said that he is feeling good aside from some paid in his shoulder. He went for a walk and was doing good. When I got to the hospital all seemed a go. We waited for the doctor to come and release him. The RN and CNR checked his blood pressure he was good lying down, OK standing but it dropped 20 points when he stood up. So they put him on fluids and the doctor said if his blood pressure goes up he will release him at 4 over the phone. At 3:30 they took his blood pressure again and it was good for laying down, good for sitting, bu when he stood up it dropped down to 74/?? which canceled him going home. I drove home as I had to check on the cats and get Bonny back for Julie.
Friday, hopefully Bob will come home today. Just spoke with him and he said everything is looking good. I just hope it all stays that way. I will call Dr. Butman and let him know what is happening. I will also call Dr. Alberti's office and let them know what has transpired. Maybe we could have him transferred to the VVMC and his doctors can keep an eye on him.
The upside to all of this is I did get a good bit of knitting down while sitting at the hospital. I restarted both the Diamond Border Shell in the Terracotta as I had traded two skeins of Elle Rae Merino with Gudrun as the 2 of the 5 skein she purchased were totally different in color even if they were from the same die batch. On the Terracotta I'm on row 26 and on the purple which I frogged because the yarn had a very distinct change in color where the yarn had a knot. I undid the knot not expecting there to be a change, but I know it would have bothered me if I let it go. I did get back to row 16.
