very fit in the ICU

I think everyone that is fit has a story about medical care! They just don't understand fit physiology because they don't see that much of it. My hubby had double hernia surgery where they put in mess all the way across his abdomen.

Well, they kind of screwed up, and didn't do the pre-surgery ekg so they had no base for my husband. They knew him and knew how fit he was. Pretty stupid.

Anyway, when he came out of anesthesia, they thought he might have had a heart attack because of the rhythm of his athlete's heart; wouldn't let him come home, gave him morphine (supposed to help the heart issue) and then that made him deathly ill. I had to go in the next day and tell them they were nuts, cut out the morphine and let my hubby go. It was crazy

Sending positive vibes to you and your family Mimi. Maybe he will amaze them and get out of the hospital earlier than expected.
