Re: SSDD

NELA,

Thanks and happy Honeymoon! We are getting our Eliquis free after filling out beaucoups of paperwork and having had to wait for a committee's decision regarding the drug and us getting it free. I will send you my contact details, (phone, e-mail) and we can go from there depending on the meds our doctors prescribe.

I thank you very much for thinking of us and wish you happy days ahead, my friend!

Re: SSDD

Quick shower than headed back for night number 20 (I think). We were supposed to go home today, but a final EKG showed that ol' Atrial Fibrillation again, so a different med and another night.

The nurses have been fantastic as have all of you, thanks!

Re: SSDD

Dondra, so sorry to hear your still not home yet. You must be used to the hospital food by now, I know Bill likes the cinnamon cereal but c'mon lets have you out of there. Great talking to both of you and we must do it again soon.

Re: SSDD

After 20 days of hospitalization, my wife Dondra is finally out of the hospital and home with me. She faces an unspecified number of weeks of home nursing, and, of course, numerous doctors' appointments in 4 different specialties.

We both appreciate all the support, both written and with telephone calls.

We are hoping for a more normal life from now on with no more falls, fast heartbeats or esophageal problems.

Thanks again.

Re: SSDD

I'm glad you're both home.  It sucks to have to keep getting all that poking and prodding and head scratching.

Re: SSDD

Spoke too soon. We're back in. Y'all already know the aforementioned details, so I won't trouble you any further here, just letting you know all the stuff that happened before is back, so we have to start again. The hospital's main number is 770-836-9666 and our pin number is 8762, for condition reports or to be sent to our room in ICU. Either my son or I will answer.

No prognosis as of yet.

Yeah, we know: We're sick and tired of being sick and tired ourselves. sad

Thanks

Re: SSDD

Oh no Bill/Dondra, I just can't believe this is happening. You must be wondering what you've done to deserve all this bad luck.
Keep us posted Bill and may I pass on my best wishes to you both

We are all thinking of you both down here in New Zealand and our wishes are for better times for you both. While you are dealing with the cards that life is testing you with at the moment other people are spreading yours and Dondra's  Sunshine.

Re: SSDD

Wow! Soooo much love! I'll have to make sure I'm worthy (we all know she is, right? smile ) of it.

Good news is that we're out again. This time with another new med which should keep her heart in a normal rhythm all the time. We're both crossing our fingers and thank all of you for your time, words and "The SONG" we both love so much!

Going now to Sound Cloud and YouTube.

Thanks from two grateful and loving hearts!
