What a pleasant surprise to find Ed sitting up in a chair when I arrived this morning! He looked great. If it wasn't for the telltale IV wires and oxygen nose tube, you would never have know that the doctors stopped his heart for an hour and fifteen minutes yesterday and kept him alive on a heart and lung machine.
Ed is in great spirits and thankful that the operation went so well. The nurse removed the oxygen tube around 5 PM. Hopefully, he will be moved to a regular room some time tomorrow. So far his pain level hasn't been too bad. The main pain is where they sawed his breast bone in half and separated him like a lobster (Barbara Walters explanation of the procedure, not mine). He wasn't thrilled with the meals - broth and Jell-O aren't on his list of favorite foods.
Yesterday, I had our address on the blog. I forgot our zip code. The complete address is 1111 Baldwin Lane, Waxhaw, NC 28173.
Please check the blog periodically. I'll try to post the highlights of each day, but I don't plan to send emails announcing every new blog.
Thanks for all of yor well wishes, thoughts, and prayers.
Sue
