Hi everyone, So sorry it has been a while since I posted...its been a busy summer....
I had my heart surgery to repair my mitral valve on June 30th....I was at East Carolina University Heart Institute @ Greenville, NC.....Dr. Chitwood did my surgery and I was in the hospital for a week...Went to my youngest daughter's house in Wilmington for a week and then flew home to Florida....It seems like everything is beginning to Wake UP now and is hurting more than when I first left the hospital....I had a rough time in the hospital too, but with God's help and the help of my husband and daughter, I made it....they took turns staying with me around the clock, my husband stayed at night and then my daughter stayed during the day...I couldn't have gotten through it without them...All of the Dr.'s and nurses were very good, a couple of nurses that were exceptional....
My husband stayed with me most of the week I was at my daughter's and then he drove home and made me a flight to get home 3 days later....I could not have handled the 10 hour drive in his truck....
my husband took pics of me while I was in the hospital but I do not want to show them here....as you can imagine, they are bad....with all the tubes and IV's everywhere...
I appreciate every prayer that went up for me and hope you will continue to keep me in your prayers as I recover..
Thank you
Brenda
