Title: Hello again
Post by: murf on June 24, 2011, 10:05:18 PM

Back home after triple by pass or in nurses language, 3 cabbage. Start my rehab today. Was going to do that in hospital but shifted to a new hospital that lets do the rehab, come and pick you up once a week to check. Bit of a trauma at first. Heart surgery went well but the fluid stated to rise quickly. I had arranged to complete dialysis at the Mount Hospital along with cardiac help. My neph visited me on day 2 of intensive care and demanded I immediately move to Royal Perth Hospital. I argued that everything had been set and I was happy to remain where I was. He stated  quite categorically, either you go now or find yourself another neph. So I knew that something was serious. He also demanded that someone in my family  get machine bags from home that night and get them to RPH (I inly had manuals).So after two days in Mount IC to RPH IC for two days. Then transferred to cardio wing for a week and then to renal for a week. I was to put the jigsaw together. Apparently the drs. were concerned of a leakage and peritonitis (the first two bags ere thick red)'
At present, home but very sore in upper torso). Been put a slow in/out flow to protect the heart.

BTW, can any one tell me how much it to renew the premium and how to do it with Mastrcard.

Hello, murf,

I am so sorry to read what you are going through

I have a neighbour who went through a similar ordeal
