Oh my god I sneezed today and almost hit the floor!! I have been trying not to sneeze at all cost but today one snook up on me. It brought all the pain back for about 3 hours or so. I have come to the conclusion that sneezing is NO GOOD! I noticed a plastic cord of some sort coming out of my incession and the going back in. I thought it was a scab or dry skin but I was wrong so I guess I'll have to tell the Doctor about that too. I am so ready to be back to normal and so so so ready go back to work. I miss work and I really enjoy what I do. Manda says it is because I am good at it but I say it is because I love it. I cant wait till Friday when I go see the Doc so I can beg to return to work. God bless all of you. Byron Cage

Hello everyone!! It is almost three weeks out now and I go see the Doc this friday. I am so restless and ready to go back to work in some capastity. I hate just laying around the house. I feel better by the day. I do still have dizzy spells that almost make me sick and unbeleivable headaches but hopefully the Doc will fix that. I do still have alot of soreness fron the sternomony. But the bills are rolling in so I got to do something to start paying them off. I am thankful to have all of you as friends of mine. Byron Cage

I am fimally home and do very well. I still hurt abit from the steromony and I do everything I can to keep from coughing. I will not even attempt to sneeze. I am able to sleep on my side now and that in itself is a godsend. I am doing everything possible to keep from having to take any of the pain meds although I do take tylenol to combat the headaches from the coumaden. I have the headaches everyday now. Im sure in time that to will pass. I an very thankful to all the doctors and nurses and saff of Louisiana State University Health Science Center for all the wonderful care they cave me while I was there. I now consider all of them friends of mine. I got a copy of the Surgens Operative Report and know that there were some complication but they and their expertise pulled me through it. I was released on Monday at 4pm. I have been resting at home as much as possible. I have managed to over due it a time or two and getting really tired and end up passing out while trying to watch TV. I get so board because all my activites are so limited. Thank God for Manda. She keep me in line and will not allow me to push myself to much. I love her for all she has done and I know this whole experience has been really hard on her to. She was there every day at the hospital with me so I was glad to see her get some rest too. I will keep everyone posted as the days pass. I thank everyone for all the prayers and angels that were sent to my bedside. I love all of you. Byron Cage
