It turned out to be a not so good week. Surgery went well and they repaired my valve. I was all set to come home on Wednesday and they were taking my central line out when I got dizzy and light headed. I thought I was just hyper ventallating. Next thing I remember is them saying where's her spouse. We need to put a breathing tube in. I was telling them I didn't want one. And then our 4 kids and other family members were there. Come to find out, when they pulled the line an air bubble went to my heart and caused me to have a couple of small strokes. Nothing major and I should come out of 90% of it. The small vision loss will remain but my brain will compensate for that. If you ask me today if I'm glad I went ahead with surgery instead of waiting honestly I'd say no. I had some symptoms but nothing sever. A ways down the road when I'm feeling better my balance and strength are back and my brain has adjusted I might have a different answer.

I want say I'm sorry i haven't posted about my surgery yet. It's been a rough road. They had thought when I came in that I'd be going home this morning. No such luck. Hopefully tomorrow. I got my pacer wires out today and my Pick line. They thought I was going to have to a breathing tube put back in not I finally came out of it again. Luck that didn't. happen! I'm can't focus very well do I'll ytry to post more tomorrow. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support.
