I saw your post in Kirsten's thread and thought YAAY! She made it!

I guess there's no one who could drive you to work? Would one of your friends be willing to be a "check-in"? You phone them before you leave for work and give them a quick call when you get there.

As for being single, I think that translates as 'living alone' - though the doc could have phrased it better - the concern being that if something DID happen to you there is no one there to dial 911.

If you do have atrial fibrillation, thank God you are getting it looked at. A 48 year old guy here in town was majorly into fitness, doing marathons, biking everywhere and he had AF. He did sit a few things out if he felt unwell. Being a man, he put off seeing a cardiologist. He finally made an appointment. Two weeks before the appointment he fell off his bicycle and was dead before he hit the ground.

I am NOT trying to scare you, really - just underscoring that the discharge instructions aren't made strict just so the doctors can power trip.

Hope you feel better soon!
