On Oct 24th at 6p I was choppered to Riverside Hospital and at 1:30a had 'open heart' surgery. Not on my heart but on the aorta. A major operation on a condition with only an 8% percent chance of survival within the first 12 hours from onset. I had what is called an aortic dissection. Anyway, HI! ... I was in hospital for a week and spent my first night at home on Oct 31st, and Galenda and Dorothy (and Toto, too!) are definitely right... Thank you to all who have sent their best wishes, prayers and encouragements! I will not be functioning well, at least physically, for several months but see fractional progress and improvement every day. I am feeling better every day but have several weeks yet of recovery to just get above 50% of my former strength, etc. Now that I have pretty much nothing but time on my mind I am formulating, planning, strategizing, scheming, cogitating and otherwise trying to figure out my path. I have some ideas and we'll SEE WHAT HAPPENS!.... |
