Now, as before I must stay disciplined and not do something stupid. Here is my focus for the coming week:
1- Stay into a good routine as before the operation. Wake around 6-6:30 AM & plan my meds for the day. After meeting with the visiting nurse we have a basic plan:

Medicines Old

Aspirin EC Tab 81 mg 1 per day AM

Lipitor(Atorvastatin) 10 mg 1 per day night

Zetia(Ezetimibe) 10 mg 1 per day night

Singulair(Montelukast) 10 mg 1per day noon

Aciphex(Rabeprazole) 20 mg 1 per day AMMedicines NewAmiodarone 200 mg 1 per day AM

(take 1-2 weeks & discontinue)

Medicines New

Amlodipine 5 mg 1 per day noon

(take for 3 months) (chest pain & blood)

Metoprolol(blood pressure) 25 mg 1 per day night

I must be careful when moving around & lifting objects. I cannot walk the dogs, the Yorkie-Shitzu will be first(she only weighs 6 pounds), but the English Bull Dog at 64 pounds will take some time!! And other lifting and the pushing and pulling, must be sensitive to the breast plate!
