First thanks for the kind words about me, I'm sure any of you would do the same, BUt it IS nice to hear. Today was really good too. we walked a couple times once even around the block, the other time was just up and back the block, but we had the dogs (I had Zero) the big insane one and Justin had Comet the golden retriever who is about 11 and so laid back and calm, sometimes we look to make sure he is breathing, that walk was shorter because Comet wore out before Justin. With my bad back and Comet being old and (what's a nice word for lazy?) Justin said his heart surgery might get all of us in better shape with all this walking. 
Then when his friends came over they walked with him too. He is doing his sprig breathing and still is bringing up older junk, he will probably feel even better when all of that us out of his lungs. And his appetite is good. His leg bothers him a little when he stands up after sitting or laying for a while, but the incision there since they used it for bypass is probably close to 3 inches long, so I can imagine it will be sore for a while, maybe it is lucky that the top layer of the area is numb since it probably hurts a little less than it could.
I'm still not completely releasing my breath, last surgery was a monday and he came home on a friday too, and by sundy he was starting to have a fever and show signs he was getting pericardial effusions again, luckily we caught it early enough to nip in the bud so it was nice getting thru today with out problems, well, i'm a little tired so going to try and sleep, just wanted to update, which just reminded me i didn't update his page, hopefully i'll reread this tomorrow and do that in the morning,
thanks again for all the prayers, lyn
