Didn’t sleep at all last night. Someone must have touched my bed yesterday (wasn’t me). On the outer panel you can set restrictions on what the bed can do, so someone turned on the restriction where I couldn’t lay down more than 35 degrees. So pissed off last night, I finally took a look at… Continue reading Hopefully Heading Home Today

To finish off today, the Hospitalist came in later in the afternoon to talk about discharging me today. I told her that we need to make sure infectious disease has both the antibiotic and antifungal in hand before setting me free. The other items that I have to have will be the statins that stop… Continue reading Heading Home Tomorrow

Some good news for a change. They moved me from the ICU early this morning. They needed the room. I was ok with that. Since I’m improving, there’s no reason for me to stay there. I owe a big thank you to Dr Chauhan. He’s now on the “team” of care. He was the cardiologist… Continue reading Officially Moved From ICU

As I watch the Troponin levels as time goes on, the numbers are going down considerably. They made the decision during morning rounds, that I’ll be moving out of the ICU sometime today, or tomorrow. Most likely they will be releasing me tomorrow. I did tell them though, however, that infectious disease needs to have… Continue reading Slowly Recovering

It’s a lot of things to digest. A lot of moving pieces moved yesterday. This is known as a widowmaker. This had the severe potential to kill me.

It’s fuck crazy to think that’s… Continue reading Answers v2.0

Things escalated pretty quickly. Yesterday, I experienced, not 1, 2 or 3 episodes. It was 4 total. Those episodes, were heart attacks. Yes. Heart… Continue reading Answers.

Last night was probably the worst night I’ve had in a very very long time. By the time my watch was annoying me to go to bed, I was already fighting these strange spasms. In my neck, shoulders, chest and lungs. Unusual to say the least. This is already in addition what what I’ve already… Continue reading Sepsis Watch

This just sucks. The pain I’m starting to endure on a systemic basis just keeps stairstepping every day. It’s a slow progression that, as far as I know, there’s really nothing else I could be doing at this point. The pain starts at the roof of my mouth. To put it into perspective, it feels… Continue reading Backwards Progression
