Slept for 2 hours solid. Gonna stay up an hour and try again. If there was a nurse here I’d go for a walk.

Amber I’m overthinking thingS but maybe I should stay. I just sent an email to the surgeon with more questions. I’d hate for a short term convenience to override long term results. I came here for a reason.

I’ll agree to be Amber for a few days if you promise to do what’s best for your recovery...

Yea. Weird autocorrect

I’m just questioning the wisdom of leaving if things are unresolved.

Lasix (furosemide)

Slim chance of absorbing a significant pericardial effusion quickly with diuretics (though we always try). Talking weeks to months, as long as it isn't growing. I've never seen rapid resolution with diuretics alone. Problem is it can become an emergency relatively quickly depending on some things.

Ask your surgeon what they want you to do, if they have contacts with interventional cardiologist back home in KC, and are comfortable sending you back there for further treatment.

Don't eat the pizza. It's too soon.

They prescribed colchicine too and stopped all blood thinners. The plan is to fly home and get an echo there on Monday. If things don’t get better I can get it drained there. No good option. The other option is to stay here, get it drained Friday n

To me, it's a no-brainer. I would stay and get it drained Friday

It's an anti inflammatory medication that's fairly recently been added to the cardiovascular arsenal. There's an ongoing study with it right now.

Pericardial effusion is fluid build up within the sac around the heart. If there's too much incompressible fluid within the fibrous pericardium, it restricts motion of the heart.

Post-cardiotomy there's major local and systemic inflammatory response. Just as you get swelling when you bump your knee and stuff, same happens internally. Steroids are avoided in open heart because they also suppress rebuilding tissue at surgical sites while suppressing immune response. So recently we've been looking at other options for these situations and initial data on colchicine is positive.

That can be managed at any full service hospital, not something that needs or has any major benefit from being done at a specialty center.

Wow back in the day when I was first diagnosed with gout this is and Alopurinal was all they prescribed...…..just made gout worse so I stopped taking both.Ate and drank as much tart cherry as I could stand for a few years then Uloric(febuxostat is the generic name)came along.Not one gout flare since.

I just hope they have found a use for Colchicine and it works for you Tim.....still praying Brother

I’m going home. Surgeon said if I stayed he’d drain it Friday simply because then I could travel Monday or Tuesday. But he’d prefer to not drain at all if possible. As long as I don’t have black outs or light headed ness he’d rather wait until Monday in hopes it slows or reduces a bit. That’s what I will do in KCMO.

Sigh. Wife is stressed. I fell asleep and she spent the morning trying to set things up. I owe her. I’ve bee subtly showing her side boob but she seems disinterested.

Hey dan

The doc mentioned that he put in an atriclip on an appendage or something like that. He seemed excited about it. Something about even less need for blood thinner which is why they discontinued them yesterday.

Not sure what it is but they gave me a tiny card I can barely read with a buncha numbers on it.

Scared me when he said he clipped my appendage.

By the way my new friend Buzz got out 2 days before me. His surgery was at the same time as mine. They’ve been hanging in the hotel and we’re suppose to leave today. One of his chest tube incisions started to bleed and he is now stuck in Cleveland at the er. They think it’s minor but he can’t travel.

I always wanted a friend named buzz.

Further shows how expected afib is after this type of surgery.

There's a little pocket of tissue that hangs off the side of the left atrium of the heart.

When having afib, risk is forming clots there which then get pumped to your brain n stuff. Clipping off the appendage while they're in there reduces risk of doing clots and stroking, without using anticoagulants.
