Robert, I agree. Being in the hospital sucks. I hope you are better. I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure last year and sent directly from the doctor's office to the emergency without being allowed to even past go. He wanted to send me via an ambulance, but I talked him into letting me take a cab. I had never been hospitalized before. I stayed 2 nights while they pumped diuretics and blood pressure medicines into a vein in my arm. The nurse told me that the diuretics would make me "pee like a race horse." She was right. About 3 months later, the cardiologist gave me electro cardioversion. My heart was shocked to stop it and then reshocked to start it back. Fortunately, it started up in rhythm. No longer is my atrium trying to beat twice as fast as my ventricle. I went on a diet and lost 30 pounds. :) But I have put about 20 pounds back on. :( Take care of yourself and I hope you don't have to see HELL again any time soon.
