Here is a cellphone update from the comfort of my sixth floor heart section bed.
They were able to get my warfarin INR level lowered enough by giving me multiple doses of vitamin k to do surgery on my gallbladder by Friday of last week and they did. Unfortunately the thing had gone septic and after removing it they had a patient with a spiked temp and a very sore infected belly. I went from Tuesday until Sunday with no food intake. Was simply too painful. I had dehydrated by the time I got to the hospital and it took a while to get my blood veins back. In the past week I have been stuck maybe four times a day for blood tests and had the fourth catheter placed today. I am a mess but am also a lot better than a week ago. Since Wednesday of last week I have been on heparin and cipro antibiotic via IV my PT-INR currently is at 1.28 after three days of therapy. It must get to 2.5 to 3.5 before I can leave. My temp was 100.2 tonight but I think when my warfarin gets right they will let me go home. Maybe two or three days from now.
That's all I got. Hospital food sucks. Have to re-learn how to eat with no gall bladder.

Hang in there Dog.
I saw some news today that if Bernie wins in November, he's gonna take some of the football championships from Alabama and share them with schools like Mississippi State that don't have any.
Get well soon.

Positive vibes and prayers your way, MD. I'm sure the BNKGDARYIO wife will fix you up with good food you can eat without the gallbladder.

Damn. You have had quite a rough patch. I was uneasy about not seeing anything from you and my intuition was right. Praying for your full recovery. Look forward to seeing many more posts from you in the future.

Sounds like you've had hell but are now on the road to recovery. Best of luck.

Good luck! Get the hell out of there! Posted on 2/9/16 at 9:56 am to MeridianDog
Get well, MD!
My old man went thru that last summer... One night, while in the hospital, his oxygen got low.... He got out of bed in the middle of the night and went to the nurses station and leaned up on it... When the nurses asked him if they could help him, he said "Yeah, I came to check on my parts." Nurse thought he was jokin and said "Parts?" "Yeah, my son & I are working on something back there in that room and I need to get my parts."
She then realized he was kookoo and brought him back to the room. I was in there but never heard him leave... When she brought him back she told me the story. Hilarious. Still pick on him about that.
Dont let ur oxygen get low!
