Default What a hell of a valve job .

My lungs collasped during the surgery . Spent extra days in ICU then moved to recovery ward the following Monday and I went into respiratory failure while I was wide awake ! I`m not kidding there was a moment I was ready to make the transition , but thanks to good health care giver and morphine . What suppose to be a five to seven day hospital stay end up 18 days . I am at home now to heal
and only one word I can use right now " grateful "

Thanks to all the pm and well wishes .

Cheers Guy

I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

Did you see the "white light"? Saw mine 2-25-08.

Guy,

I haven't been around much lately. What were you in the hospital for to begin with? I'll go back and check for your previous posts.

Glad all is well now!

I can't resist... and I hope you take this in good humor (with wishing you all the best) :

....did you realize that there were some mods yet to be done that you hadn't yet accomplished??

if so.... care to share ?

Best wishes Guy for a speedy recovery! You can't drive the car now that is winter anyways, so you might as well watch soap operas all day and recover!

Cheers,

Mike
