All done and surrounded by a zillion machines! You're in ICU, having a lovely sleep and giving the nurses grief by rolling over and throwing your arms around. They had a bit of trouble with your blood pressure and heart rate so they gave you a bit more sedation to help you rest. The nurses told us they might try and get you off the ventilator tonight so they will call us if anything changes or they extubate. They warned us that they may have to pop you on the pacemaker to get your heart behaving itself but it's a temporary setback.
Of course I chose the perfect time to faint and had a lie down on the floor for a while but hey, it's been a huge week for us all. The relief of seeing you the other side of surgery was so overwhelming and you weren't that stable when we first got in there so I had a mummy moment.
We are back at the apartment for a rest while they let you rest and we will go back up when they're ready to let you wake up a bit more.
