Husband had a chemical stress test yesterday...

it went well and he'll call for results on Wednesday and then we'll proceed with whatever has to be done...stent?...something different?...he saw his cardiologist because he was having shortness of breath...

He also had an emergency visit to the dentist for a painful molar. It will have to be extracted, but since he is on coumadin he will have to have an INR test, which will be on Monday.

The poor guy ate close to nothing yesterday and was just exhausted. I put him to bed with an extra strength Tylenol. He's still sleeping. Hopefully, he'll eat more today and recoup his energy...

The impacted molar was just what he DID NOT need at this point... CTyankee Jul 2014 #4
He is lucky to get a general. Impacted Wisdom Extraction hurts like hell. Just remind him how good Vincardog Jul 2014 #5

once that tooth is out, he'll be a lot happier, altho he'll have to be put out for the extraction because of his gag reflex...I'm just trying to keep his anxiety low and keep him mellowed out.

it feels to lie back and relax into the arms of the opioids.
They concentrate on how happy he will be waking up to you.

I'll just trundle him home and put him in bed and let him sleep it off...

It's always better the next new day when you can get real sleep cuz general anesthesia doesn't count as sleep...
