Yesterday was a good day. Today is kind of sucky. For a guy that never smoked cigarettes, I have no idea how the smokers make it through this. Before I went in I had no problem inhaling 2,000 ccs ofair on the breath machine and now if I get 1,000 it HURTS. The day after I honestly thought it was my last day. It felt that bad. I just hopI have more days like yesterday. While not a cake walk, it felt multitudes better than Friday/Saturday. I only came to awareness Friday at 8:45am. Too much double vision to read the papers, but I did manage to read about the guy that faked several heart attacks. Boy, wait until he gets a real one.
Anyhow, they don't let you sellp in a hospital. They waken you every night with tests and procedures like breathing excersizes. Oh UGHHHH Low potasium. If you've ever done a realy nasty shot, then that's potasium. Done. I chug it like a shot of speed rack tequila then chase with cranberry juice. Good thing I'm back on a regular diet as I followed with nthree chocolate covered peanuts. Another blood test nin two hours. God I ho-e i9t comes up.
Anyway, I'm alive. When I am stuck doing the potasium I wonder if its all worth it, but will think so once I'm passed this hurdle.

I would love to stop in to try cheering you up, if you don't mind that is :) if you'd like a friendly face, email me @ lizardmom@wi.net and I'll pop up there. Can I smuggle anything good in for you? :)
Huck,good to hear from you again! Thank God.Let us know if you need anything:)
runnning away from all saints. they just scared the crap out of me. They don't know how to transfer spinalp crd injured at all. I'm begging the nVA o come savere my7 ass.
Huck, you are a sight for sore eyes. I am so glad you are feeling well enough to post a blog. Whoooo hooooo! Continue getting better.... and make them treat you right! Keep bitching!
Good to see you again...hope the good progress continues.
Good to hear from you! I hope you are doing better real soon.
Best of luck!
If you have the option, Aurora in Keno on 50th is a great hospital.
Hang in there.. looking forward to more updates from you.
Very good to hear from you, Huck.
Watch the healthcare people around you wherever you are.
I hope you recover very soon.
Did they put any rust inhibitor in?
Anyhow glad to see your back and a speedy recovery to you.
........SER
Dude, you need a bitchy nurse of your very own to make sure the staff is treating you right... and after the week I've had (and it's been only one day!) I would more than qualify;-) rarrrrrrrrr!
The cardiac unit was always full of newly graduated nurses-- feel free to scare the shit out of them and teach them an thing or two; keep in mind that nothing you do to them will ever be worse than how the older nurses treat them, lol! And you're really just doing them a favor... get better soon, man of mystery. If you're not careful and you stay too long, we'll be busting in on you-- hopefully not during your spongebath:-)
Hey Huck, Glad to hear you are getting better; at least feeling well enough to post!
Keep us updated on your progress.
Bananas have a lot of potassium. If they offer them on the menu, eat them. It can help. My mom takes 3 horse-size pills of potassium each day. They are disgusting! Good luck to you guy...
If you want visitors, say the word. I'll pop in. I'll figure out a way to find you. I might even bring in some chocolate covered peanuts if your stash is running low! : )
huck, my friend, hearing from you is a great thing. Keep on recovering, and give the staff hell! We are all here for you.
Huck, how you doing, dude?
