Hello to all,
This is just a general update on me. I'm almost 4 weeks out from AVR. I don't know of anyone I can talk to that may understand this sort of thing. I'm grateful for all of you that listen and have helped me so much in the last couple of weeks. Of course I talk to my wife, I think now that the intense stress of surgery is over she is suffering some post traumatic stress type things, a lot of things trigger emotional responses in her, she is very protective of me also.
Last week I was in the hospital again due to a TIA, I'm ok now. Yesterday I stopped in at work to visit my co-workers, I stayed 3 hours!! It was humbling to see how much everyone cared and missed me, they're a great group and I will forever view them differently. I was on top of the world yesterday, I had so much energy, I went for a couple of long walks as well as a doctor appointment.
Well today I am somewhat down, what an emotional rollercoaster this has been. But I know that's probably normal. I was very tired throughout the day. But I was on the phone with the insurance company, the bills are rolling in now!! The cable went out, I'm making more doctor appointments, and trying to set up cardiac rehab but no one can get me in until June!! I'm planning on going back to work 5/24, hope the doctor agrees. So thanks for listening, just needed to vent/talk.
Thanks to all of you,
Steve
