This has been a bad week for Sandra so far she been very weak ad still in a lot of pain.  After the ordeal  at the ER Dr Ott called me to check on Sandra he said any thing short of surgery LC should be able to take care of her. He wanted us to have an Echo done on her heart, this was done yesterday but we haven’t go the result back yet. She will get the shot to make more red blood cells tomorrow. Home health is here now checking her out so far everything is good. With the urinary tract infection she is still weak so we will try to start  rehab again monday. Dr Ott did say he thought the pain was normal and didn’t think she has a problem with the operation.

I talked to his nurse and he was suppose to call me back, still haven’t from Houston. Dr Ruiz office called me back and told me to bring her to ER we got here about 12:30. They did blood work,x-ray and urine sample. Dr wanted to admit her but she talked him out of that found she has an uniary trac infection started a IV & will send her home with a scrip. Said the chest pain could b the way they open the chest they use what he called a bumper jack. said the x-ray looked ok and the infection could b making her weak.

We had to wait for for the rain to slack to get Sandra bloodwork they was able to draw the blood on 1st stick. We then went to sign Sandra up for cardiac rehab at WCH and was able to get n some exercise n. They did a EKG on her before she started wasn’t able 2 walk on tread mill but she did 15 min on bike. She was very tired after but I was very proud of her. We went and ate at waffle house before going home, she said her chest felt better tonight after her exercising.

 We were called today about Sandra starting her cardic rehab tomorrow she is very concerned about this. I assured her they will start her off very slow at a pace she can handle. She will also do more blood work tomorrow hoping for better results. She is still moving slow and in a lot of pain so tomorrow should prove interesting.
