I had anticipated going home today, but my coumadin (anti-coagulant) level dropped below the magic number of 2.0 to 1.9. It needs to be 2.0 for two days in a row, so I could be here another two stinking days. Luckily for me the food isn't bad and the nurses are all great. I trust my Doc, so will listen to whatever he tells me and follow the rules...which will include eating the right foods and steady exercise.

I had a bit of a bad day yesterday - couldn't breath as well as nausea and a headache. I guess I was due since I haven't felt all that bad since the initial episode on Monday. I slept most of the afternoon and felt a lot better around 5:00 PM.
I need to get up and walk around the halls...and get a shower! I am feeling & smelling a bit funky today. I have a fairly plush private room with a view of Mount Rainier, but I would trade it all for a few licks from my dog, HotRod. He is going to be so excited when I get home that I will need to protect myself a little. He likes to run straight at you and then center punch you in the gut with his front paws.
