Well, it is Thursday AM here and I thought I'd post a quick message to all of y'all. I got out of Crawford Long Hospital last night and while I am (very) tired I am glad to be home. The doctors won't let me do much for the next two weeks, but that is ok since Kate's mom is here until Christmas Eve and Kate's aunt Janice comes out the day before that for a week too. So we'll have plenty of help for the two weeks I'm out.
The good news is that they sucessfully put in 3 stints in the right artery to my heart. That is more than they planned on because as they cleared up the main blockage, they found a disecting annurism they had to repair as well with two more stints. But that all went fine and as long as I remember to take my mecication daily (no problem there with Kate reminding me) everything should be ok for me.
The bad news is that in a month I'll have to go back and have this done again on the front left artery. That one is not quite a clogged, but will need to be done. I wish they had done it while they were in there, but the little suprise they found with the right artery prevented that. But I'm good with that right now.
I just wanted to thank everybody for their prayers and support over the weekend. It sure was a help. Now all I have to do is rest up and recover.
Thanks again,
Michael
