I'm home

After seven days and approx 104 needle sticks in my arms and legs, I'm finally home. There's a lot to tell and I'll fill more in tomorrow when I'm not so tired, but I'm home. It took them 11 hours just to get me discharged. Never, ever do you want to get pancreatitis. It's the worst pain I have ever experienced and I've experienced a lot of pain. I fill you in later.
P.S. Beds from the Florence Nightengale error are really uncomfortable.

Okay, you're home...so...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? Glad you're back with your family. I am anxious to hear what, if anything, they've discovered. I know you've got to be tired. Laying around and getting poked and prodded does that to a person. When you're up to it, fill us in. BTW...low potassium is really tough on your heart, even with a pacemaker. My doc freaked out the day after my surgery when mine was low. Hang in there. Love you, Eileen

Hey Rick,
Since talking the other day on the phone there is really not allot to say. I do suggest you come back to the states and Obama care will fix all of your problems. In fact you don't have to work. Give up your citizenship come back into the country illegally get a drivers license, Sign up for SS disability, free health care and maybe they will pay for Joie and Julies education. You can get the best medical here, well at least for the next couple of years, If you need that gall bladder out get it soon or you may have to wait four to five years, but it will be free. Well except for us working people will will be taxed to death, but to make us feel better about it they will call it something else, like user fees or something.
So think my boy are looking up. Bye the way Eileen got off cheap, when Obama Care takes over they WILL be taxing pace makers and defibrillators that is except to members of Congress.
Oh I digress.....get feeling better soon!!!!!
