surgery was done on the 14th it was a difficult time I was told due to all the inflamation over the years caused adhesion to the front of the abdominal wall as well as a leak in the back I had for years.  Overall the problems of that sort or slowly healing but have heart issues now am on various other meds to handle that which is still being looked into the heart enzymes are out of wack they have not made a final diagnosis as to what or how to treat as I am from out of province they will keep me here until all is settled and that is fo the best.  Skin is really suffering will probably see pic line installed tomorrow.

What a bummer! Surgery always carries risks with it and we never think complications will happen. But they do, unfortunately. At least you were still in the hospital when this heart think cropped up. Hopefully this gets sorted out soon. Are they thinking you had a heart attack? That is often the assumption when the cardiac enzymes are elevated.

Yes they are want to find the cause as we are from the smallest prov. of Canada and would have to travel here anyhow for tests it was mentioned an echo cardiogram and stent if necessary I wish they would put in a proper I've line my veins have all but collapsed they have one going in the arm bend and use it to get blood so well will need a radiologist to set it up .  I expected difficulties just not of the cardiac variety,

Yeah, could have knocked me over with a feather when out of the blue I developed long runs of tachycardia (rapid heart rate), well over 200 beats/min (the maximum my automatic BP cuff would measure). Turned out I had a congenital conduction defect that waited until I was over 50 years old to wake up. Fortunately it was cured with ablation therapy. Still, it is an uneasy feeling when your ticker goes haywire. We are all only a heartbeat away from oblivion. 

 

Hopefully, you are happy to sit tight until this is sorted out. Tough to be patient though...
