Friday

waiting.......
Colonscopy, what time?  No one knows....
But today... prep all done...   just waiting.

When an LVAD patient has any procedure, they have to take them off of warfarin, get their INR down so they wont bleed to death, do the procedure, then get the INR back up....  to prevent blood clots.
These are the steps....  so what could be outpatient for most, require a 2-5 day stay....  NEW NORMAL,  and each time we will come back to this floor in the hospital.....

Havent seen results of latest blood labs to know if he is still losing blood.

Will update here when I know anything.....

Btw, yesterday after the endoscopy he did great, was wide awake when he came back, but could only get clear liquids since he had test today...  surprisingly not grumpy at all.....

I do think while this is a setback, a complication, it is at least good to know it wasnt his heart or lvad that was causing his slump....  we both thought it might have been...



*  went down at 9:00  

Out,,, no bleeding...  couple of polyps is all....   so are gonna let him go home.....
