Thanks for all of the positive thoughts and prayers.
Our departure from the hospital was delayed on Sunday afternoon as they wanted to send some O2 with me. In the end, we decided to stay in Denver with one of my sisters rather than attempting to rush home.
The procedures seem to have gone without glitches. I did have excessive chest tube drainage so I got to keep those in for an extra 24 hours. My coumadin levels did not come up as quickly as they expected.
Geez, having those chest drain tubes and pacemaker wires yanked was something I'd rather not repeat.
Getting comfortable at home has been something of a challenge. My whole back is killing me and my bowels haven't really been moving with any regular routine yet. Thank God for my little buddy, the chest pillow, from Memded Hearts.
Sounds familiar huh folks?
