I would like to thank all you guys for the prayers and well wishes I received.
I Had the heart surgery yesterday and just got back home this afternoon. Ended up being much more complicated than they thought. What was supposed to take 1 1/2 hours ended going 4 1/2 hours. They had to go through both my legs at the same time and approach the damage from either side simultaneously. By the time it was all said and done they had drilled though the artery with a diamond coated drill bit called the diamondback 360, put in 3 stents and performed 6 angioplasties. Truthfully, I can't say I feel much better. I kinda feel weird. Hopefully, it is just exhaustion. I was awake for the whole procedure and wasn't allowed to move either one of my legs for 12 hours. That is exhausting and painful. We will see how I feel in the next couple days. Gotta go, I have a double at work tomorrow. 14 hour shift,. woohoo. lol
