Back to the ER
Well, we went back to the ER last night. At least this time they took me right in. I didn't have my usual 5 hour wait. Turns out when you have things next to your heart they don't mess around. I am going on TPN (food) starting this evening and they had to come and draw labs for the special make up of my formula. The nurse came and couldn't get anything out on Saturday. About 3 hours after that I started having a heart flutter and shortness of breath every once in a while. When another nurse came on Sunday I told her about this and she called my doctor. They sent me straight to the ER. I had an EKG and some chest x-ray done as well as labs. The interesting thing is that they can't take them straight from the picc line so I had another IV put in my other arm. I looked awesome. The results were good. They said my picc line is laying in the right place and they weren't worried just that I had a fast heart rate. I always do so that didn't worry me. We were out of there within 3 hours, record time for us. Now, they are working on making my formula up so that I can get started on TPN today hopefully. All we have to say is that when the nurses and doctors in the ER recognize you, you are there too much. =)
