....I knew a few inmates that looked like that.....

The surgrey was unsuccesful.  He is in CCU.  

Hedda Gabler

Very good. 

not_nadine

Intestive care.

Kurben

I'm sorry, Nottie. I'll send best wishes for him to pull through.

not_nadine

I feel so helpless and guilty.  Slept very early, (exausted)
 and now I am up and called the hosital. They will move him out of CCU to a regular room when a bed opens.  I collected my laptop from work yesterday, notified my boss, so I can log on from home.  I plan on going again as soon as visitors are open at 10 am.

I just can't believe that the Doctor called and said everything went well.  I will collect his records and get him fixed up with another doctor.  I will demamd to speak with him.

....depending on the procedure, a brief stay in a "step-down" unit is not unusual, more intense monitoring till he stabilizes....I hope for the best....

Hedda Gabler

He had heart surgery.

of course they will put him in ICU or CCU to recover. That’s where I would want my loved one. and once they determine he is stable and everything is going as planned, then and only  then do they move him to regular recovery and then to a regular room. 

They did the right thing. He is being monitored as he should be. 

I hope he is feeling great soon and home with you quickly and safely.

Not released today.  Maybe tomorrow.
When I left the hospital, he was singing Broadway show tunes (little shop of horrors) to the nurses.  Good lord.

I love this man.

Hang in their nn. Not so easy some days. 

not_nadine

Thank you.  I tend to just break down,   I sleep instead of taking charge.  And I wish that I could be more assertive.. Messing up everywhere.

This company was hoping to replace 'Ralph' who has done  this job for 20 years.

I am not Ralph.

My man in is afib. Awaiting another heart surgery.  I just want to say fuck it all and take care of him.  I want to retire, but that means losing our apt with nowhere to go.

I will post in other threads.Thank you all for thinking of me.

Hedda Gabler

I’m so sorry you are overwhelmed. It’s easy when it’s a constant stream of fires to put out. Each one alone can be challenging enough, but a queue out the door of problems (big and small) adds so much pressure.  Ugh. Don’t look ahead, i mean that. Take each day and its fuckery and tackle what you can do on that day. Do the day.  

Looking ahead stacks the teetering deck. 

Do. The. Day.

Thank you Flakers.   So much has happened.

The operation was not a success.   He has to do it again.  Trying my best to take care of him.

My best friend in the world, since we will little kids, won't speak to me because of a text misunderstanding.  She blasted me with unkind words - her husband is going thru the same exact thing as Kris.  I did not inqire about her husband before I sent the text.   Only updated her on his condition,without finishing the text , was texting about my issues.

Texting sucks.

 I've been trying to reach out to her.  No luck, and it hurts my heart.

Been running on spent fuel, and my boss told me that I have to improve.
Going to lose my job, because I can not focus.

I'm really sorry to hear this, you must be feeling completely overwhelmed. 😔
Hedda has some really good advice above, one problem at a time.
Don't give up on yourself, N.N... you've come so far. 

not_nadine

Sorry I haven't posted.  Thank you all for kind words.

The situation has remained unchanged.  He went to the doctor on Monday, only to have him repeat that he did not have a long enough catheter to complete the procedure.

That's a big giant red flag that he is incompentent, and referred him to another doctor in NYC.

Kris fell out of bed last night!  

He is sending all of his medical records to another doctor he has seen before before he moved here with me.

I am am trying to concentrate at my job and not make any stupid mistakes.  Going well so far.  I have good drawings going out.

...continued good thoughts Nottie....I hate stressors of all types, and I know how miserable it can be....hugs aplenty....

FlakeNoir

I hope this gets resolved soon via the other doctor. 

Good news on the work front, try to stay confident with this You know you can do the work well and having successes there might help you handle the things you feel less in charge of.
