Well, my husband is back home – after a hellish two weeks sans-husband, I have him on my couch and in my home! It is so nice to see him when I want to – laugh with him, hug him and annoy him again = )
He was in general ward for 4 days,
theatre 1 day,
back to general ward for 1 day
and then into ICU-High Care for 3 days
and back to general ward for 5days.
Not cool.
After the operation where the surgeon joined 6 pieces of femur together with big gigantuan screws Franc returned to general ward only to discover that his heart wouldn't slow down – his resting rate would go from 60 – 160 and back again for no reason. After they moved him to high care they put him onto meds, and monitored him 24/7 to try and establish what was wrong with him.
The diagnosis – Supraventricular Tachycardial Arrythmia. In short – Top of heart beats quicker than it should. Blood does not get pumped efficiently and Franc is left exhausted, weak and living a less-than perfect life.
He is on Hexarone now and in two weeks he sees the Cardiologist. He might have to go to JHB for an electro operation – electrocuting the heart muscle.
We are not taking this lying down though – we are sending him to Dr Kiepiel a homeopath who will diagnose him and treat him holistically.
Keep us in your prayers
