Heart surgery
Just to let the tribe know I had open heart surgery last Monday night. It appears that I had a blood clot in my aorta that was flopping around and after the Dr's went in they found it covering about 40% of the aorta and about the same amount in a small chamber in the heart along with a small hole from one chamber to the other, apparently their 1st thoughts were HOLLY SHIT!
Well It took 11 1/2 hours and they had me brain dead for 29 minutes during the bypass but they got everything cleaned out and expect a full and complete recovery 4 to 5 weeks with no complications, and I should have more energy now that the blood clots are gone, apparently there was a problem with my blood being to rich (hemoglobin?) that cause it.
But I am out of the hospital now, another thing they can't explain, I'm healing up like superman,walked just under a mile today before discharged and here I though all this time a was a bit of a wimp.
