I came out of surgery around 5pm Friday. I was out of it and my biggest concern was to manage the pain. I had three chest tubes, a catheter, three IVs in me. Typing in this forum on an iPad is hard enough for me before OHS so I asked my daughter to give you updates. ICU died a great job of managing pain. They gave me good attention.

N or one that made sense to me.i think it was something to do with vein aarteryThey said they would move me to a "step down room". That is where I get PT,but less attention. They didn't have any beds open so I stayed in ICU.

On Sunday I was able to pee. One of many criteria to get released. (I'm going to post this and find a better editor yo write more. Autocorrect sucks)

Hoping you feel better and better as they remove apparatuses.

I should wait until I get to desktop and a real keyboard. Auto correct any fat fingers only frustrate me. I'll write my story later and post it. Thanks everyone for the best wishes.
