What a beautiful family! I'm sure each day will get better. I hear you. It's definitely not a picnic in the parr. I had all kinds of complications but with the help of God and my family, I'm doing great. And so are you. God bless you all.

HEY HEY Ben you look great. Really watch those high Vitamin K leafy greens, they really throw my INR levels around. But I do love to grow & eat them. Consistency in daily diet is the key.

Great pic, Ben. All that love helps the healing. There are ups and downs with the healing, especially with the BP, but it gets better and better in the coming weeks. (Not months).

Ed Eller

Welcome home! The family and friend support are so important to recovery and it looks like you are in good shape. I had a similar procedure 5 months ago and with time and rehab I'm living a pretty normal life at this point, though still working on building stamina.

Louise Moore

Ahh, your happy children are a great compliment to your recovery time, Ben! Take it slowly and know that your heart has to go to work while its healing so if it hissy fits on you a little - that will smooth out and calm soon. A better life ahead... Read more.
