recovery day 1

SLEEPY

INCISION 

I didn't get back from surgery until one am and was super groggy. Thank God Dewon was there and made me feel better. Apparently I had been yelling for him :) So they went in to take the two bottom chamber leads out because they were showing to not be working but when they got in they found they were not working because there was a lot of scar tissue on them. So they left them in and cleaned them up and now they work like brand new ones. They also placed a new lead to the left side of my heart and took out my old ICD and put a new one in. The down fall to all they did was it made my surgery last seven hours and because of all the manipulation they had to do in my chest I will be super sore for awhile. They did give me great meds because I don't remember anything and had no pain when I first came out of surgery but some how gave me a fat lip. I am guessing from the breathing tube they put in during surgery. They took the main bandage off today, which hurt real bad, and I got to see my incision. I also got a cute pink pillow that people can sign to rest my arm on and relieve some pain. My hubby got me some sushi today and walked around with me so that was a plus but now I am in pain again so may not be making much sense because I just took more pain medication. So I will wrap it up. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers...they worked!! luv ya!
