So things are going along swimmingly. Getting stronger everyday. Eating good small meals, dealing with daily 2000 ml liquid restriction and 2000 mg sodium, getting in 1000 steps yesterday. All the right steps.
Last night my evening bp began to be normal = 119/84, for the first time in a couple weeks.When that happened I was to add into the chemical mix, lisonopril at bed time. I did. It's a very small dose of the stuff (2.5 mg) but I think it is time released.
This morning I arose feeling as though the meds were whacking at me. More powerful than even in the hospital. I had breakfast, did the whole shower thing and settled into the living room while our house person cleaned the bedroom. I felt very tired, put my head back and (probably) passed out. When I awoke a little later it was to stars and an inability for a couple moments to clear my head. My O2 saturation was in the 70% range and then all over the map as we got the in-house O2 going. A call to IHC's team said to get to the hospital, so out came the emergency troops, and in my 78th year I finally rode in an ambulance.
There went the morning. Full assays, room O2 vs cannula O2, etc.
Verdict: back on O2 while home all day--I have only been using when sleeping--and no more lisonopril until I see the docs on Wed in SLC.
BP at noon was still a respectable (for me) 94/63. That's where it has been for awhile.
Hopefully, I will not be writing this again. Back onto the O2 now.
