Hi Everyone
Before I left tonight I asked Andrea what I should post here tonight about her day and she replied "pretty good". She slept late this morning and PT came in to weigh her and take her to a small physio gym on 4th floor. There was a little mixup in weighing her so she sat down and stood up including into and out of her wheelchair, a total of 6 times. It was very tiring for her so she napped twice during the day, but tonight she was more alert and stronger again. She had one bout with nausea today, likely because she has been having nosebleeds off and on for the last couple of weeks. Blood in the stomach that has gotten there from a nosebleed is likely the reason for her stomach upset. Her INR or blood thinness number is a little high, meaning that it is a little on the thin side, aspirin which is a blood thinner was discontinued today. Unfortunately it takes a few days at least to clear out the aspirin effect, so it may take a few days for her nosebleed to stop. This is a common problem for anyone who has a heart device, they all need to have their blood thinned some and it is a common problem to bleed somewhere, most commonly from the nose. The nosebleed is intermittent and not lots of blood. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Goodnight.
Regards, Maynard
