Hi DU freinds. I made it through the surgery.

Recovery is hard. I'm doing what the doctors and nurses are telling me. I had a nazi nurse. Thank you for cares and prayers and healing energy. You're all awesome 💖

My dad had a quadruple bypass and they told him he should be good for another 15 years or so. He made it 21 more years (there were a couple of stents inserted during that time, but nothing too serious).

Hope your recovery goes well, Clouds Passing. Welcome back!

From October of ‘23 to February of ‘24 I was in a hospital and then a nursing home
and around Xmas I was walking again and I had already started to do skull crushers
with a 20 lbs weight. I was really fucked up by my one driving force was getting out
of the nursing home and get back to my little house and yellow lab.

We need you so get better.

fail to follow directions or to do what is needed to progress, no matter what. So, the latter might have been doing you a favor, no matter how unpleasant. I hope so. But 'glad your surgery went well. On to the healing!

Take it easy and pamper yourself. If the Nazi nurse is causing you stress, you might want to ask one of your doctors or a trusted nurse if you could have another nurse assigned to you. The last thing you need is stress.

Please keep us posted when you can.

because booting you out of bed and making you do things you don't want to do is what is going to prevent complications and get you out of the hospital and keep you out.

Nobody said you have to like it.

that you had a nazi nurse! Nurses are usually the best part of the hospital experience.

I'm glad you made it through and expect that soon, your recovery will accelerate and you will feel so much better.
