He is here finally. Surgery went fine but recovery was hell. My bp jumped to 239 and then I flat lined so got intubated (not a pleasant experience). Woke up in ICU with a nurse applying pressure to my groin and telling me to relax. Turns out the high pressure caused my incision to bleed. 2 ct scans and 12 hrs later finally got the tubes out. Was transferred to a cardiac floor for monitering and thought that maybe could go home Sat. Hadn't been there 15 min when here comes the nurse with her machinery as seems as though I was in atrial fibrillation. After several days of going in and out of afib, think they finally gave up on getting it to stop. Had a short bout of pneumonia, and a round of urinary tract infection but finally was released to come home on Thur eve.
