I'm back

[Dave5Baseball]

Hello everybody. I just got back from the hospital. I made it through with flying colors. I had the homograft valve put in on Friday. Spent Friday night in the ICU and was up walking on cardiac floor on Saturday afternoon. It's amazing how good jello and aplle juice taste! Last night I am laying in bed and just sweating up a storm. I get up to use the washroom and my roommate had cranked the heat to 85!!! Are you insane I wanted to yell, but obviously couldn't so I just turned it down to 70. Slept okay, besides being woken for a weight check at 2:00 a.m. We'll see how the rest of recovery goes. I feel good so far though.

P.S. Donna it's good to see you are doing well. Let me know how it all goes, we should be on similiar paths.

Dave

hi dave,

what a good report. I was surprised to see that you were up and about the next day. I wonder if that is the norm or are you an exception. best to you for continued success toward normal activities.
I really had a good laugh about the temperature. I could almost imagine your thoughts. "85, my god, no wonder i'm sweating up a storm."
