Long over due update!

Well it has been a bit of time from my last post.

I am now working, which is good.

But coming up on April 11th 2006 wil be my one year aniversary for surviving By-Pass surgery. On April 11th 2005 I went into the hospital to take a Stress Echo Test. I failed to the Nth degree. 75% of my lower Heart was not functioning after exercise. They did a little operation to find out how many by-passes I needed. I was told 8 to 9. I went under the knife on April 13th and was closed up on april 16th. I was asleep for two weeks. And stayed in the hospital for 33 days. Most people are getting out of the hospital on the 5th or 6th day. They said everything that could go wrong did go wrong. I had 6 operations and 6 by-passes.

But the good news is that I have now almost made it a year. Some of the extras I got from this, have gone away. Like Diabeties and a very rare blood condition. I was told that they were going to name this blood condition after me if they could find some more information about it. But it went away. This is kind of freaky. But good that it is gone.

Thank you to all for your prayers and thoughts. I have my heart pillow by my bed. They gave me this red pillow in the shape of a heart. It helped will recovering. Because I could hold it against my chest while I coughed, sneezed, hicuped or burbed. It help save me a lot of pain. My ribs are still not completly sold yet.

I started at one hospital but was transfered on the first day to another hospital. The first hospital was Adventist Medical Center and the second hospital was Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital & Medical Center.

Well that is the short of it. I am doing great.
