The update is that I am doing better.. But not without the moment that I was wondering why I choose this golden road with chips in it here and there.. I left off where they were going to go in and fix my heart on Tuesday.. Well the moved it to Thursday with a good cause. If they were going to do the procedure on that Tuesday they would not have got to me till about 5 in the evening.. Dr Dacerett did not want that cause at that time everyone is tired and ready to go home.. Wednesday I would not have went in till afternoon, so Thursday was the day cause I was going in first thing in the morning.. I was the first case that they were doing and they were going to be very fresh for the morning..
I was all fasted up (not eating).. I was in the surgical room by 9am.. All ready to go.. It really was a strange flashback. I was being wheeled down the hall and placed under the large lights.. All the sudden transplant flashed before me.. Totally weird.. I had to fight back some tears that were filled with memories.. Kinda dumb since this was NO where near the same thing.. So any way the last thing I remembered is they were telling me that this might burn a little..(the sleepy drugs)
Next thing I woke up.. I was told things went well!!! YAY!!! I already felt better with a normal heart rhythm.. I just kinda faded in and out the rest of the day.. I took of the tape that was on my wrist where they had placed a temporary arterial line.. There were 12 holes in my wrist.. It was all black as well. It to still hurts.. I just knew I was on the up hill side of things.. Well I thought I knew..
I was laying there that night and all the sudden leg was hurting like I have never felt in my leg before.. I sat up and looked at the top of my leg and it was immediately blue.. I has a vein that broke open and was letting a large amount of blood loose into my leg.. I called my nurse in BTW:I love the phone system they have now!! So my nurse runs in looks at me leg and says.. "This is gonna hurt but I need to put all my weight in your leg to try and cut off the bleeding".. Okay when she said HURT she very much meant HURT...Holy crap!! She was putting all the pressure on it that she possibly could for 15 minutes straight.. I think at that point I told her that it would feel better if she cut my leg off.. After the 15 minutes was up she went and got a sand bag. I slept with that sand bag all night.. After hours on end and into the next day I lay there with a very sore leg.. It hurt if you even looked at it, no joke!!!
After that was fixed late the next day I felt better right after.. The next day I returned home... That was Saturday and it is now Monday.. My leg still hurts from the surgical site..
I'm just laying on the couch with my boys Bently and Ziggy!! Love them both I'm so glad I have them to make me laugh like 73 times a day.. Sorry there have not been new pics up.. I have a very good reason..Plus I have not been able to clean and keep things Picked up and You can not see my house for what it looks like right now..hehe
