Kicking It Open Heart Style


Just in case you were wondering what you look like after MVR surgery.

I am doing well. Went for a quarter mile walk a minute ago, waiting for lunch in about an hour.

Last night was exciting, I woke up with blood on my arm and the spot that one of my chest tubes had been removed from was seeping blood. It looked like more than it was, but I wasn't doing any walking last night. They put n a suture this morning and that seems to have done the trick. Blood thinners suck.

The PT gave me clearance yesterday to get in and out of bed on my own and walk when I felt like it, so that's good. They also removed the insulin feed so no more getting woken up every hour during the night. WhIch means I am sleeping most of the day. Even eating is exhausting. 

I have a long way to go, but I M progressing nicely. I am now going to recalibrate this f&ckng screen so I type the key I think I'm typing.

Love to you all!

Doug
