its all behind me
its all behind me
Mon. the cath.
Tues. the op
Sat. back home and family day--- tiring yet, needed
Sun. recoup and reflect and adjust
So here I am. I could tell of at least a dozen experiances, but don't want to ramble on. Of the two dreaded things that I knew was going to happen, the second most dreaded was the cath.. It went with precision, very little discomfort and of course the results raised my spirits(good news or bad, the ball was rolling)
The other experiance was the intubation---It was the worst BUT,
I was informed and prepared thanks to this group.
The first thing after coming to was feeling like I was down in a well. I could feel this intruder and knew what is was. I told myself don't fight it, let "IT" be in total control I heard a woman say "we'll be taking it out in a minute" then, "It'll be out in a minute." I'm saying to myself This is as quick as the last minute of a football game. Then "o.k. its coming out now"---very unpleasant feeling, but I told myself "it will end, its not 50 feet long" and it was over.
I understand I was in/out in record time. I was awed by the preparedness, precision, and teamwork of the cardiology staff at Brighams and womens hospital. I think back and remember Evelyn connecting me to her friend Sandy who inspired me to seek out and look at this place where she herself had recieved such wonderful care . THANK YOU GOD!
My wife was told by the VALVE MASTER, DR.Cohn, that I was not bi-cuspid, but that I had a genetically deformed cusp that was so badly calcified that there was no way that I was without symtoms
well if I had symptoms, they could only have been described a little light-headedness and increasing fatigue. My ejection fraction was at 68% still, so no wonder, one could hear the murmer across the room, as my cardioligist said.
I cant stand to cough and pray to God that I don't do a sneezer
other than that and the difficulty of getting a good nites sleep I'm feeling good, am happy with my situation, and look for improving my situation, but/and will accept a slow recovery to who I used to be.
here I go, on the road again, here I go up on the stage wil check back later thanks all Keep Smilin RAM
