Evening in the ER

[lmmore 0]

Hey guys, What a day I had yesterday. I went to see my to see my PCP to update him on my surgery, etc. The next thing I know I am in an ambulance to take me.......across the street, to the hospital ER. My blood pressure was down to 65/33. This had my doctor worred that their could be internal bleeding, or worse. My heart isn't in the best shape to begin with (5x CABG, 3 stents, two coronary occlusions). After taking every blood test imaginable, they finally released me at Midnight! With the diagnosis of DEHYDRATION. Evidently, even though i caught up to drinking the appropriate liquids by Sunday. Thursday through Saturday I had only managed to drink about 3 or 4 12 oz glasses of fluids. I found out the hard way how easy it is to get dehydrated and the consequences to the body.

Thanks for listening

wow! that had to be a scary experience!

I don't think I have ever hit 64 oz, however maybe my body was used to that before surgery??

Hope you are feeling better!!
