Hello everybody! WOW!! What a strange trip this has been.
What was anticipated as 5 days in hospital turned into 5 weeks. My Ross Procedure went well until my sternum decided not to cooperate. After being rewired things were loking better until staples from surgery 2 were removed. Immediately the incision opend up and it was obvious that the sternum was shot. This was a Friday evening.
Sat with a wound vac on the incision until Monday morning then was transferred to another hospital. My original hospital had no plastic surgeon on staff so I had to move.
On Monday, met with plaastic surgeon who said he could do a chest muscle flap or abdominal muscle flap to take the place of my sternum. Ended up being the abdominal flap.
I am finally home though and feeling better everyday. My energy level is very low. But my desire is high.
Sorry for all the delays in posting. There was no wireless in the hospital.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Peace of Christ,
Don
