Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Sorry you failed your EKG. That’s a bummer. Let us know what happens with that. About staying in the hospital…STAY! I had a TTT done about 18-19 years ago and I was in the hospital for (I think) 3 nights. They got me up to move around and I near passed out, so back to bed I went and another night I stayed, but I tend to do that every time I go under, so not unusual for me. As much as you don’t want the TTT, it may provide a LOT of relief from pain. Mine did and worked for the past 18 years. It’s been hurting more and more lately, but I think for it to last as long as it did, that would be considered successful.

Yep, got my raised potty chair, shower chair, forearm crutches. And, I have been practicing with the crutches. I am still hoping for only 1 night inthe hospital. (I have never spent the night in a hospital.) My OS sys that I won't want to come home too quickly. On the bad side, I failed my EKG today. I see the Cardiologist on Monday. I hope this does not mean another chemical stress test. The last one damn near killed me.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thanks for the advice Joi. As for the EKG. I don't think it will be a big deal. I failed one before my surgery last year also. I went thorough every test eth Cardiologist could throw at me and he release me for surgery. I think there is some scar tissue in my heart that causes me to fail all EKGs now. I'll know for sure on Monday and let you guys know. Don On 10/6/06, wildwest <wildwest@...> wrote: > > Sorry you failed your EKG. That's a bummer. Let us know what happens > with > that.
