Topic: RE: Stacy's surgery is over and she's doing great!
Hi everyone, this is Stacy's Husband.
She is finally (13 hours later ) in her room -
She had a good surgery that went from about 7 am til noon. She had a small air bubble at the end so the fixed her up with a drain and that seems to be fine they will check it again tomorrow.
She was in a a lot of pain (she can be quite a drama queen so don't worry) She was saying her pain was the worst ever but falling asleep right after, so they kept her in the ICU for quite some time. She was moved to her room and was settling in when we saw her.
Her mom and step dad came down to see her for her surgery which was nice so I had some company all day - though we were going a little stir crazy by the end of it.
She looked 100% better when we saw her in her room before we left, hopefully she sleeps well tonight and is feeling way better tomorrow. She probaly wont be walking tonight but I assure you she will be tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone that was supportive to her and what not, I know you have been great to her and for her.
Anyways,
Have a great night,
Dana Kielty

Hi! Just heard from Dana Kielty, Stacy's husband. He said her surgery went well and she's in recovery. I told him that we would all be thinking about her. Keep her in your prayers.

YEAH!!! Yes, God is good! Amen sister
That is the part I love about being a nurse. The human body is a wonderment in itself.
I love patients like you. I bet he had a ball and you are probably going to be the highlight of his week. Thanks on his behalf for being such a great patient. It's folks like you that make our jobs worth while!!
Hmmmm warm fuzzy feeling in the groin...always good!
I am glad you have that peace of mind now!
HUGS!

Topic: heart cath today.
I am home after the sand bag was taken off my groin!
They said they couldn't see anything wrong with my heart. Doc said it was perfect in the pumping motion and the blood flow!!!
God is sooooooo good to me!
The worse part was the pressure the nurse had to put on it afterwards! Owwie!
The second part was I had to be *****ed 6 times in my arms so they could put a cath in each arm. (But I gotta tell you the male nurse that finally came in to do the caths was a riot! I ribbed him so hard he was crying. He actually had to throw away a needle cause he couldn't see to put it in! Today was a good day.
Oh by the was It probably isn't a good Idea to make someone with a needle laugh so hard that he couldn't see either
I think one of the coolest things was that when they gave me the dye I had a flushing sensation go from my heart into my chest into my arms and finally into my groin....Hmmmm I don't think that sounds right
Any how, Just to know that is how quickly your heart pumps blood out was absolutely amazing! What a machine God created!!
Okay enought talk about flushing.....Just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and happy thoughts!
hugs and kissses, Tammy

I am not able to provide "professional" help yet......so my thought is as follows!!
Congrats on the want for exercise!!! I believe the rpevious post covered everything eloquently!!! I agree whole heartedly that you will need weight training with your cardio work out. Remember this - muscle will raise your metabolism....it helps to equal out and provide balance and symetry to your body!
I wish you the best of luck in your decision to run!!!! Kepp us posted on your progress!!!
