I appreciate the well wishes, folks.

I get to come home this afternoon.

There were some issues with what they did, and a third stent was needed, then a few days of ICU to keep an eye on my vitals. I have a heck of a blood clot in my leg right now, and it's being treated with daily injections for the next couple of weeks. I'll have to come back next week, as an outpatient, so they can check the progress on the clot. I also have to be careful, because if part of that clot breaks free, it can go to my lungs or brain and kill me.

I'm exhausted, and miss my bed and chair...I can't wait to get back home.

All of this has added even more meds to my daily dosages...something I don't like, but I'll follow what they say to do. They've used the term Congestive Heart Failure, and said that I have a sac around my heart that has been filling with fluids, but they say that an increase in Lasix will handle that...that means lots and lots of bathroom visits.

I'll be around, but I probably wont post much for awhile...I need to concentrate on me and my family for awhile. This has been one heck of a ride.

One thing I'll mention here is that my ex-wife, the mother of my children, has done everything she can to increase the stress level I have. She went as far as calling my wife, and telling her that if I pass away while in the hospital, that she'll be up that night to collect the kids...she told her that since she's not their REAL mother, that there's nothing she can do about it. She even tried using that argument to take the kids earlier in the week, telling the kids that they need to move back so that I can relax...the kids didn't fall for it, and told her to go to hell.

Who needs this kind of stress while in the hospital??
