Today, I was discharged! What does that mean? <div><ul><li>My fluid levels are stable- I can breathe without getting flattened with fatigue.</li><li>My blood pressure &amp; heart rate are stabilized (I needed medicine to make my heart not work so hard….it was beating too fast trying to handle all that fluid. I had resting heart rates settling in the 120’s for 2-3 days of my hospital stay. I also needed medicine to reduce the amount of fluid in my system - diuretics. </li><li>Outpatient management for now&#x1f44d;&#x1f3fb;</li></ul><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. I really needed this hospital stay to figure out the items I listed above …which impact things that are as basic as walking across the hall, taking deep breaths, carrying a &#x1f45c; on my shoulder, or having a light conversation on the phone without fatigue and breathlessness. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>Kris- back home in Buffalo! ❤️&#x1f389;</div>
