Good news AGAIN! Hope y'all can go home today.
MIL (83) had surgery last week for 80% carotid artery blockage, with no problems.

Sandy, thanks for the information about your MIL doing well after carotid surgery. We just found out that Gary doesn't need surgery now, his blockage is not enough to warrant surgery. Good news for us!
We are STILL waiting for one doc to OK either coumadin or aspirin therapy. I just asked the nurse to call the doc. It is silly for us to sit here waiting and waiting and waiting. It has been 2 hours since the admitting doc said we could go home when the heart doc OK'd coumadin or aspirin. Gary has been in the hospital 12 times since Dec. of 2003, and one of the most frustrating aspects of each discharge is waiting for the damned doctor to come and let us go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have NO PATIENCE! When I had my second gallbladder attack, the ER doctor cleared me to leave and I waited over an hour for the nurse to simply pull the IV, let me sign my name and leave. I am NEVER rude to caretakers, but it was very apparent that she was ignoring me. Against my daughter's begging and possibly my better judgment, I pulled the IV myself and walked out.

I'm sure that Gary feels a lot better just by being home.

I am so glad to hear that Gary is doing better and dosen't need surgery at this time. And glad that you are home, I hate waiting around the hospitals.
Hope you both can get some rest now.
