Angie & Jim

Going Home Soonby Jim

The nurse just read us our discharge instructions, so that’s an excellent sign we will not be staying overnight. We were prepared to stay, just in case, but the anesthesiologist (who stopped by) said we should be discharged by about noon.

Since Angie had a venous catheterization, that means a faster recovery. Femoral catheterizations require that you lie flat for 4 hours without moving after the procedure, which can get real boring. Venous catheterizations only require 1 hour of no movement after you wake up.

We may or may not get a visit from Angie’s cardiologist before we head out. We think the nurse practitioner will stop by before we leave and I’ll post anything important she tells us.
