Remember to Breathe

Even after being on oxygen all night, my oxygen levels were still quite low. Dr. Cordero surmised that because of the procedure, I wasn’t taking deep enough breaths.

I was given a plastic apparatus to take deep breaths, and help my oxygen levels.

My oxygen returned to normal levels while I was awake, but continued to drop while I slept.

In the afternoon, the nurse removed the catheter, and I was eventually able to urinate on my own. It felt good.

Because of the low oxygen levels, they wanted to keep me one more night.

Around 6:30, my dad came to visit and watch the NCAA Tournament. I still can’t believe Tennessee blew that game against Ohio State.
