Leg bypass done
Nov 08, 2009
So here is the scoop. I went in for leg bypass on Wednesday November 4th. The operation took 6 hours not three and I have the arteries of a 2 year old. Yep I am 35 and have tiny, small, minuscule, itty bitty arteries. This took my surgery longer. I was released though in 2 days. No one ever has been released so early from a leg bypass in 2 days the Vascular Team was very impressed and could not believe it... Hell Yeah!!!So now for the other news. I must keep my cholesterol levels at almost non existent. Only my good cholesterol must be high. This will prevent me from other heart stents and possible leg bypasses. So here comes the vegan diet. I think I am going to have to drink two shakes everyday of protein, maybe fish once a week and legumes for the rest of meals.
I need to find a vegetarian WSL patient to give me tips.
I gained 5 pounds of liquid from all the IV sucks ass. But I have lost one so things are looking down.
This is it for now. I hope is well. I can't believe it I am alive and kicking!!!
