Hello everbody. Quick update. Still in the hospital. Today is the first time I've even wanted to see a computer. Had a bit of a setback yesterday but seems good for now. Hoping to get to go home tomorrow. :biggrin2: Thank you everyone for all your prayers and well wishes! I don't know how I could have got through this without them.

Good to hear from you. Don't forget to ask lots of questions before you go home. It will feel great to get out of there.
Kip, thanks for the update. We'll be waiting for your first post from home. In the meantime, get some sleep and walk when you can.
Glad to hear you made it.... Thanks for the update.
Good to hear from you. When you feel more like writing, let us know how things are going. Take care.

Great to hear from you! Keep resting and we'll hear more from you soon. Also I am glad they are talking about letting you home soon!
Hopefully, you've past your last hurdle and can concentrate on getting better. Obey the dr orders and don't try to overdo it.
KIP, congratulations and remember sternal precautions
Great news, Kip
Very happy for you. If you get released tomorrow which is a Friday, you may want to refill your vicodin or any other pain killer medication from the hospital pharmacy. In my case, I did not want to wait, as there was a long line.
Unfortunately, none of the pharmacies around us had enough pills to cover me over the weekend!
DH had to drive from one pharmacy to another for over two hours!!

Kip, It's behind you now. Time will move slowly the next few weeks but things improve quickly when you start to sleep normally again. As you get stronger remember to enjoy the time off. It won't last!
