I told my mom today, I will be insanely surprised if I make it to the end of the year without another hospital inpatient session. TBH, I actually want to go inpatient again, or receive maybe some home health care? I wish that the system that I had with the doctors involved me making appointments to go in for a bit.. like more planning around it, rather than it being treated as a punishment for my bad behavior, which in my argument is a consequence of my bad health, which means someone getting treated badly for having health problems instead of receiving care in a way that is possibly more respectful of a patient. Of course many medical events are spontaneous in a way where places like emergency rooms are necessary, but sometimes, I wonder if emergency rooms can be escaped more by better healthcare scheduling.
One big thing that I worry about sometimes, is definitely my arms. I use my arms to do lots of things.. and because heart surgery is upper body, I sometimes wonder various things, limits/health etc. last year, I received a letter of recommendation for physical therapy for my arms . I decided that I invest so heavily in my various arm activities, that physical therapy would feel too "high cost" in terms of trading off arm activities. I have an interest in hosting physical therapy for people with upper body problems.
