Re: high blood pressure???/

[Guest guest]

Could I please hear some discussion about high blood pressure?? Has anyone

gone to surgery with their blood pressure out of control??? Mine is sort of

high. What has Dr R had to say about that matter???

<< hear some discussion about high blood pressure >>

, I went into surgery with BP hovering around 167/98. In the

hospital, before I left, it was already hovering at 146/78. There is a

remarkable bounce-back for those of us who have problems with BP. At my

doctor's recent checkup, my BP was 140/70. I look for it to go even lower as

I continue my surgical recovery. Isn't this surgical procedure just a

terrific thing for those of us who are beginning to have things go wrong with

our bodies? Dr. R has given me a chance to live again with this surgery. I

feel like there are possibilities for me now. January 7th isn't far away,

kiddo! Remember to walk a lot in the hospital as soon as you can after the

surgery. I found the halls quieter after 10pm until about 8am. The recliner

in your room will probably be comfortable enough for your hubby to nap on. I

switched from the recliner to the bed quite a bit so that I could cut down on

the coughing (I had a stinking cold.). Bring a " wubbie " for him to be

comfortable...and maybe a pillow for his back. One of the nice things about

our rooms there is that we can control the thermostat. If you're a polar

bear like me, you don't like the hospital temperature setting. I kept my

room at 70 - 75. Dee in MI.

wubbie???? what is a Wubbie Dee???????? Thanks for the blood pressure info.

I appreciate hearing details. Thanks so much. This special anti bacterial

soap that I bought that we shower with the evening before and again in the

next morning. Hummmm. Never used it before. Are we supposed to use it all

over the bod or just the tummy area, where he will be operating?? I am so

excited and can hardly wait to get there. We leave on the 7th, but my

surgery isn't until the 11th. Plane reservations are made, motel

reservations are made, car rental reservations are made. I am just so

excited and am trying to concentrate on writing my letter that I do

understand all the whys and wherefores!!!! I keep putting this off. Must

just get busy and DO IT!!!!! Thanks again Dee for writing to me.

, I showered with it...used it all over. (Except my face and

hair.) It is a bit drying but it does a great job of showing bacterial

growth on our skin. Keeps us safer for the surgical procedure. Dee in MI.
