Not Yet Dead......

Okay folks, I'm still alive!!!! Of course I knew I would be. All they did was the heart cath, and nothing else. They found a little bit of plaque, but not bad enough to do anything about. They said that my surgery will help that. The only thing is that since I was very combative when I had my endoscopy, they didn't want to sedate me that much in case I was combative once again, because that could be fatal in this type of procedure. So that means I was feeling every bit of pain the entire time. Sure they gave me a little something, but it wasn't enough, so I felt a lot of pain during the procedure. And I'm still hurting. Even though I'm at home, it hurts to walk. But that's okay, I'm healthy. :biggrin1: Well, some great news, my best friend, Derek, showed up today at the hospital, which was awesome. I was wondering if he would. Last night we went to eat, and as we were ordering, he told me his girlfriend was coming, so that kinda blew the night of us hanging out. But he redeemed himself by coming to the hospital today. However, my other good friend that I keep going to see in St. Louis, well, she has never called, didn't email, no messages. Her mother even came and spent time with me at the hospital. Oh well, she is just too self absorbed. I'm used to it. Anyway, I'm happy and all is well. Thank you all for your messages and prayers. You have been great!!!!
