Home its good to get here. After i had the discharge changed a couple of time, once because my heart rate went upto 130-150 for 48hours, i could hardly breath, couldnt put 2 words together without breathing, they eventually did a chest drain and took 1.5ltr out, the heart rate came down to araound 100 and a cardioversion was now not needed. The difference was huge in just a couple of hours i was breathing, talking and able to walk up and down the corridor on my own, it put me on a real high, part of the roller coaster ride our health takes us through.
The most stressful part was the discharge process, talk about left hand and right hand and there no parking at the hospital so i was trying co-ordinate, our lift via mobile phone, while keep nagging staff to get things sorted, but then had to ring ward back up to check on medication as it was clearly marked with directions party because the nurse was short of time as my lift had arrived. In the end i did get out, very tired and stressed and later trying to get out of London than one would want so traffic was busy, the mass exodus had started.
First night home struggled to sleep, get comfortable find nthe best way to get in and out of bed ended up sleeping in the chair. But that first proper shower was great and feeel better for it. concidering what i have had done, looking at the scares and know what they have cut through etc i feel quite good really better than i thought i would, i expected more bruising in the chest area but all in all a successful London theatre break, it may have not been much fun but is a life transforming and extending one and there is a lot to be said for that.
Many thanks to you all for being with me on my journey, but most of all i am thankful my wife could be with me she kept me going when the going got tough.
Love and Blessings to you all
Charlie
