Wednesday, Mar. 16, 2005 - 5:30 P.M. Happy St. Patrick's Day ! Surgery went well. We were home by 3:00 PM. March 17: Call from Surgeon's nurse telling me that Richard should stop coumadin for 4 days. Asked her why I was not told that yesterday , she had no reason other than Dr. S. wanted to prevent a "bubble" around pacemaker. I called Dr. Cardi's office to let them know since he was supposed to have been consulted about the coumadin situation. (Turns out the entire pacemaker was replaced, have 3 new serial numbers. Surgeon seemed to get a little huffy when I asked for old pacemaker -no-it goes back to manufacturer. I'll tell you that surgeons are a breed in themselves, egos big enough to fill a stadium. Oh well, enough ranting...) March 18: Dr. Cardi is back in town , he called when he saw message about coumadin. I was at lab with my Mom who is due for kidney appt on Tuesday, missed the call when I left phone in car. I called Dr. C. back when I got the voice mail and he wants me to call Dr. S. office on Monday and find out what was the reason for discontinuing coumadin one day after surgery. I am done for now, resting so I can get going again on Monday.... Day Spas by State
