“When I Wake Up In The ICU, How Many Tubes Will Be Sticking Out Of Me?” Asks Gwen http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2009/09/01/tubes-waking-up-intensive-care-unit/#comment-14703 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:04:28 +0000 http://www.heart-valve-surgery.com/heart-surgery-blog/2009/09/01/tubes-waking-up-intensive-care-unit/#comment-14703 Glad to see so many of you without any memory of the ICU. I tell everybody that God reached down and gently kissed my eyes closed as I was going into surgery and let me sleep without a memory or care for 3 days. I don't even remember making it to surgery....I went nighty night on the way out of the surgery prep area and woke up three days later in my regular cardiac care room. Had no after effects of sleeping for so long, as I was up walking around and getting to the bathroom by myself by the end of that day. Feel like my body had a good, long rest to get the healing process going strong. Midge Glad to see so many of you without any memory of the ICU.
