Okay, ... surgery did NOT go off without some hiccups .... all the mechanics went off as planned, BUT, when they went to wake me up, 'that' didn't go well ...
'day after' the doctor came by and said I scared the 'hell' out of him ... they, at one point, thought I had a big 'stroke', but no, it was somthing else ... had to spend an extra day in the hospital ...
As far as I know, I think I'm go'n to be all better in about 8 weeks ... ... ...
and Thank you my brothers, for the prayers they were not only needed, but very appreciated ...

Oh I am so grateful that you are well my brother. I have to say a special thank you to God for healing you. I am full of joy for you.
Have a good rest and you will be as good as new.
Hey Family, ... just got back from Heart Dr's appt ... ... ... 2 1/2 week followup... He told me I was do'n exceptionally well ... ... ... of course I had to ask, why do I feel like 'Road Kill??? .... he laughed and said, no matter how you feel, we cannot change the fact that we just pulled your chest apart in order to work on the inside of you, some of your stuff was stretched to the point of snapping apart ... and there just ain't no way that's go'n to feel good ... I said that's got to be the 'understatement' of the year .... cause it still hurts to breathe, much less get anywhere comfortable enough to sleep ... He said, that'll probably take another couple weeks to work out ...
Okay, any you guys go through real bad D.T.s in detox???? ... did any of you take about 2 or 3 months to be able to get any sleep at all??? ... AND feel like dog poop the entire time??? ... ... .... that's what this heart surgery recovery reminds me of .... (Lord knows I'd never make it through detox again ...)(believe it or not, I do believe that was worse ... )(at least with this I can feel my body get'n a little rest ...)
Thanks again for keep'n me in your thoughts and prayers ... Love Y'all .... (plus y'all know I like to complain about how much I hurt ... I don't know when I started that, seems like I just had a lot to bitch about one day and off I went, LOL ... ... ... )

Did you say bad DTs? Boy, that's an understatement. I felt like the raw end of a beaten up Piata, bruises and all. The game Whack-a-Mole comes to mind.
My experiences as an active alcoholic were far worse, however. You can only imagine the pain I went though? Actually, you can.
I hope the discomfort is only temporary, Roger. I do love the positive energy, though.
My best wishes on a speedy recovery. God knows, we've been through enough already.

Right there with ya Mr. David ... ... ... as I recall, my last detox(in '08) was so bad for so long, I really wanted to die, ... then thought for sure I was, ... then got scared as hell I wouldn't ... I couldn't put one intelligent thought after another ... I know for a fact that I was insane til my blood alcohol level came way down ...
ya know, the more we discuss this, the more I'm think'n this heart stuff is a 'walk in the park' .... it's mostly physical pain ... the alcohol withdrawal was physically AND emotionally devastating .... only God knows how We come through that ... (probably only to help the still suffering alkie .... )

I guess my HP believes I have had enough fallout from the booze because the dream state after head surgery (both times) was beautiful and pain ??? what the hell is that...my surgeons now think they do magic. I think it has to do with dropping the fears involved...
