Shoulder pain

Mac had an ok day. He ate some blue popsicles, drank ginger ale and water, got lots of shoulder massages (his arm must have been stretched up to get to his ribs on his left side so his shoulder hurts today,) went through dozens of instant heat packs, got his pacemaker tinkered with electronically. He had his chest tube and arterial line removed as well as his 2 IVs in his feet. We got a crash course on some dos and don’ts for pacemakers - no big magnets, no wands at airports, no MRIs ever, no electronics closer to his pacemaker then 6 inches, no lying on top of microwaves. That’s just all the info they fed us today - more to come. His device is Bluetooth so they can monitor his rhythm remotely.
He’s still on some big pain meds but they make him so sleepy it’s a struggle to get him to open his eyes. And they make him itchy.
