Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

Today is a significant fork in the road I’ve come to. Being in the hospital is not only important but you need to be pretty sick to make it through each day. Case in point, I’m not that sick thus each day is becoming more and more unbearable. The nursing staff cannot grasp nor have the freedom to understand that Renee and I must be able to walk around a lot. It seems that the docs want me out and about exercising and nursing staff want me subdued in room? Sixteen long days of this has worn on us all.

Sure I have 6 stints in my heart, 5 of which are occluded, my pacer/defibulater is there in case my heart stops so I think Renee and I have decided to get me home. I need my joyful home life as long as I can have it. My Renee, the love of my life, together we need to enjoy each and every moment we can share. Even the thought of holding our kitty’s warms my heart!

So now we just have to cross that next obstacle, the transplant team, yikes! We will see! Of course I’ll stay on the heart transplant list but I’ll drop to a level 4 from the 3 I’m at now. It will most likely take longer but sanity wins if given the choice.
