Granny still doing good, although tremendously tired. (go figure) After 4 hours forced to lie flat on her back recouperating after the heart cath, she was SOOOOO ready to sit up. A little woozie, but she made it through. She had another meal of clear liquids--jello being the favorite, and she was ready to try and sleep through the night (assuming the nurses stop poking and waking her up to turn her or take readings or something every 30minutes). Her pulse rate had lowered by 10-12 indicating her heart was not working as hard trying to pump blood; her blood pressure was looking good, and the heart rythms were looking better than in the past as well. As I was leaving, she said she wanted some chocolate cake.
Hmmm...wonder if they make that flavor of jello?
(I was going to post some pictures that the cardiologist gave us of the before & after of the blocked artery in the heart, but I left them at the hospital. I will try to get them posted tomorrow night after I bring them home.)
