Finally got my surgery done. I went in on Feb. 7th, by Feb 11th I was home from the hospital. Everything went well, though there was one problem. I lost a lot of blood, but they got that under control pretty quick. I know have a mechanical valve in my heart. It will last me the rest of my life, only annoying thing about it, I can hear it working. Which is good I guess, at least I'll know if it stops.....right? I was told I'd be in the hospital 6-8 days. I was barely there for 5. Soon enough I'll be back out taking photos and enjoying my youth. I think I'll create something in PS today. Also thanks for the prayers and good thoughts going into the surgery.
