Probably going home tomorrow. I just wanted to let you guys know about something they used for the first time in this hospital on me. Its called a 'q ball' or q pack. Its like a miricle! Heres the site on it.

I have to be short as I am on the nurses pc but wantes to let you guys take a peak in case you hadnt heard of it yet. This surgery was totally different than the last one! Hell I dont need any special bras or button in the front shirts this time! I could have washed my own hair twhile I was in SICU if they had let me. This thing is going to change valve surgeries alot! As someone who has had one with and one without I could notice the huge change! Sorry if ya'll know about them already. I'll post more info when I get home (probably tomorrow)

THANKS A LOT!!! this one is going into my "Ask the Surgeon" spiral notebook. This sounds like it is up my alley. I usually don't like to take pain meds, it makes me feel like I am masking a problem and I hurt for a reason. This could be a good alternative, if the only soreness is at the breast bone and incision...

Welcome home!!!!!!! Take care of yourself... Hope your kids are waiting on you hand and foot! That would give them the opportunity to be "Mommy" for a change.
