Thinking of you. It'll go great!

Margaret Fielden

Pray this has been a very successful surgery for you.

Ellen S.

Thanks for the good wishes. Surgery was initially successful, but then there were some complications. Eight days in TCICU, then step down and now I'm home and doing pretty well (all things considered)

Margaret Fielden

Sorry to hear you had complications Ellen. I spent a week in ICU with complications and another three weeks in cardiac care, but after five months I think I'm making good progress. Slow but sure, like the tortoise in the story gets us there. Keep improving at your own pace!
