Update

[jax]

Well can finally get an update in. Surgery went well and was in step down day one after surgery just to come back into icu less than a day later. Seems as though now I need a pacemaker as my heart rate doesn't want to stay where it needs to be. Supposed to be getting that in the next 4 hours. Nurse was pretty cool and told us it was alright if I used the blackberry as long as I wasn't making calls. It has been very frustrating but I am hangung in there.

Oh boy, you are hitting a bump in the recovery road....better now than later. Chin up.

 

[bugchucker]

Sorry to hear that Jax! It will get better, hang in there.

sorry to hear about the the bump. I know it seems like a big one to you but having a pacemaker isn't so bad.

Sending you hugs. Better to find out about the pacemaker now while you are still in hospital than have your heart doing crazy things from home. I will continue to pray that you recover soon

 

[njean]

Sending you my thoughts & prayers & hopefully after this setback, things will start looking better & your recovery will go smoother.

Best wishes to you!

It doesn't really bother me too much about having a pacemaker especially when I sa w what it would be like without one and it would be no life in my case. And that's something I can't deal with. Hopefully the stiffness in that area will subside quickly but if I have made it through everything else I will make it through this thanks for all the well wishes everyone heading to step down today and hopefully home soon.

Glad you are feeling better - sounds like the pacemaker is doing its job, now hopefully the rest of your recovery will be smooth!

Pacemakers are cool. Did you get the new model that plays mp3s?

Next time, I will ask for an integrated cellphone, but it will be hard to decide where to have the touch screen.
