Hi all - since my hubby kept forgetting to post, I finally made it up the stairs and onto the computer. I made it through surgery fine and came home on the Thursday after surgery. From what my family tells me, I was not a good patient on Friday night or Saturday morning since I had a really hard time with the breathing tube. They finally took it out about midnight on Friday and they said that I got better after that. I knew I would have issues with that. Now, my issues are my fingers! I can't seem to write well and my fingers do not want to type either. The surgeon said that there were no issues that he was worried about. They put in a St Jude Valve for the aortic valve and placed a ring around the tricuspid. He said that the mitral valve was very minor and he did not want to mess with it. They also did one bypass, which I do not mind telling you, hurts a LOT worse than my chest does. My leg was a very vivid purple up until late last week. Now it is just a black! From the top of my thigh to the middle of my calf. UGLY! I am walking about 1 1/2 miles a day now and starting to feel better, but still have bad days. I am assuming that this is normal. It is, right? LOL I have my blood drawn every Friday and I see my surgeon again on June 17th!. Hope everyone who has had surgery since mine is doing well and getting better everyday! To all who are scheduled, just in case I do not get up here again soon, good luck and we will see you on the other side of the mountain!!!
Love ya all - thanks for all your prayers and concerns....diana
