Long time

May 21, 2011

 WoW its been a long time since I posted anything!. This past year has been a busy one filled with medical issues. I had a second back surgery in November at UVA they did a fussion on L4-5 spent a night in ICU due to sleep apena, but had no issues went to the regular floor the next day and home the next. Had a bad reaction to the dressing they used during surgery ended back in the ER for IV meds. Was out of work for 6 weeks but recovery was good. Was mostly pain free(breakthought pain) for about 6 months, just in the  last month have started having issues and am now waiting on a CT to see what is going on. In Feb of this year I was reaching for something and felt a pop had pain where my port was located, was seen by the dr. but they were able to access my port so no issues there. Well at the end of Feb  I was back at UVA for a back follow up they did x-rays and I saw my port was flipped!! So I called and got an appt with them for the next day and a week later I was back in the OR for a port revision. Was in the OR at 7 and home by 12 back to work 2 days later. Very sore but a simple recovery. Now for the good stuff! I am off my High Blood Pressure Pills and had no issues, off diebeties pill my last A1C was 5.5. My PCP is now only checking my blood every 6 months now. I am down about 75-80 pounds as well
