I went to the gym this morning then left for Winston around 11. I met Bonnie for lunch before going to my afternoon yearly mammogram and GYN appointment. I had already cancelled it once Thursday a week ago not only because of Bob possibly having surgery and did not but also because my doctor died suddenly the previous Friday from a stroke after open heart surgery.
When I checked on Bob by phone this morning at my usual 8 am he was still asleep after having a pretty bad night. He was very confused and agitated. The nurse said this behavior is very common in patients on the pump and can mimic the same symptoms of a stroke.
She did tell me they may take the pump out this afternoon and when I checked on him right before my doctor appointment they were getting ready to take him back to the OR. It was a simple procedure and doctor Lee called me at 3pm just as I was getting to the hospital lobby area to tell me he was back in ICU. I saw him briefly, he was still groggy from the procedure, then left to come back home.
We seem to be moving in the right direction. If all goes well they may move him to a regular room either tomorrow or Wednesday.
Thanks for the update on how Bob is doing.
