Bob is at his sons house for a week or so.

Great to hear.

Yes guys, All the bathroom remodeling and updating we are doing, certainy came in handy. He moved the upstairs bedroom, to the downstairs bedroom, which is connected to the new bathroom we worked so hard on. Who would've thought it would come in SO handy. We are still 2/3 done on one upstairs bathroom, and will start on the main one when we get the other finished.

Windy's been doing good this past week. Other than some negative side effects from a few medications, he's improving a little every day.

Good news ! Good job Windy, keep working on the recovery .


Speaking of that , guys, yes I was getting better, but one thing really kicked my butt. When I would stand up, I would lose all my air, get really weak, and my heart would really pound. If you've ever been under water, and could not get air, that's what it felt like. It was awful. I reported it to the nurses, and my heatr rate was too high, which is somewhat common after this kind of surgery. My heart rate was 130-140 when it should be 70 to 90. My heart was on a marathon all the time, and, like when a runner finishes the race, they collapse at the finish line, totally worn out, and gasping for air. That's what I was going through. everything else was actually pretty good, but I never thought I would have such an issue breathing. I don't know if it was all the changes of meds that helped, or simply the passage of time. PAssage of time gets my vote for now.

Thanks Mike. They really don't want you in the hospital very long. They want you excersizing and out of there as soon as possible.

Happy Thanksgiving windy Bob. I hope things are improving for you.

Son and wife went out to 2 places for Thanksgiving with friends. They wanted me to go, I declined, due to breathing issues. They brought 1 plate of ecah place they went for Thanks giving. So....I had turkey!

Bob hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Hope the cardiologist can get things straighten out for you on Monday. Take care.

They were more than helpful. They really encourage you to call if you have issues. And yes, I even had my pumpkin pie too!

Windy made it home yesterday. He's getting settled in and taking this slow. He hopes to be back online soon.

Yes, even though I still had minor breathing issues, as long was sitting down, I was fine. I was really nice to get home, and to get ALL THE BILLS IN THE MAIL.
