Two days out from a tissue valve replacement! Have excellent nurses and importment a wonderful husband who has been by my side! Hopefully i will be hoe with my family soon!
Yay! Glad to hear you made it to the other side OK!
The first few days may be a bit rough but you will probably find things get quite a bit better at day 4 or so. I'm almost 6 weeks out now and am astonished at just how well a body can recover from such trauma... so take hope, it DOES get better, day by day, week by week.
Congrats! I don't even remember day 2. Apparently the surgeon stopped by to see how I was and I told him "I don't like you" and he said "don't worry, you will again in a couple days". This was relayed to me by my mom. No wonder why he kept saying I was so crabby in the hospital!
You are doing very well after 2 days to be able to post so lucidly. Apparently I told my wife on day two not to kiss me because she may be carrying germs!! Needless to say I'll never hear the end of that one in spite of me pleading total amnesia!!
I think it was my day 2, I felt chilly since the A/C was ridiculously cranked up. I wigged out telling the nurse "I think my heart is racing!" I think I was having a mini "panic attack". My wife, also a nurse by profession just shook her head. Weird things do go through your mind given the amount of meds received.
congrats and good luck. I am 10 days removed from surgery and I feel so much better. Every day is an improvement.
I hope and pray you will be home soon.
Hey There everyone! Day 3 and 4 were the worst! Spoke too soon! Today my scar is tight and hard too get comfy! But i am with my kids and everyday is alittle better!
