home sweet home

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say i made to the loosers bench,I also wanted to say thank you all soo very much for your prayers I 'm Tony's wife. He tried to finish the above message but was unable too. He is very droggy and in much pain. I gave specific instruction that he is not to be on the computer and stuff--Just to focus on rest and recovery. He came home last night, 12/13/06. Climbing our steps was a bit of a challenge. His hospital stay was not what was excpected. His surgery took longer then what we expected. He then had to go to the CCU. He has a severe case of sleep apnea. He was having difficulty breathing. He would stop breathing and the staff would have to nudge him to wake him up. While he was in the CCU in the night he was having severe chest pains around his heart. The nurse per instructions from the doctor gave him a nitro patch. The pain went away after the patch was given to him. The nurse had commented that he had a mild heart attack. In the morning on 12/13 he was moved to a reg room. He hung out there for most of the day. Then in the evening he was released. Thank You very much for your prayers. Please continue to hold him up through out the recovery process. We will be praying for whoever else is coming up next for the surgery. /

OH My Goodness....well thank you for posting follow up for us. Take good care of him!! Sherr

I still dont understand why he was released from the hospital when he was having problems like this. but we will continue to pray for him and that his recovery will be swift and well. Thanks for finishing up Tonys post and tell him to rest rest rest then he can start doing what he is suppose to but will have to keep getting up once in awhile to walk if nothing but just around the room a couple of times.

Welcome to the losers bench!!! I too, like Jan above, do not figure why he came home so soon with having had all those problems. Please do not hesitate to inform the doctor of any unusual problems especially chest pain or pain in legs etc. God bless you both and keep you in His care. Colette

I am wondering also why they let him come home if he had a mild heart attack, it just doesnt make sense, I will keep praying for him....vesta

I know you are glad to be home, Tony, but do call the Dr if you have any more chest pain or pain in your arm, shoulder or jaw, expecially on the left side. I will continue to hold you up in prayer. Keep the faith my brother. Hugs and love to you and your wife, Lana

Glad he is home. Tell him it does get better, I promise!!! Give him lots of hugs. ~diana~

Tony, Welcome to the losers bench Take care of yourself and rest, rest, rest. Julia
