So I decided to keep a journal during the next and hopefully final open heart surgery I'm not going to bore you all with a lot of details of what happened with the past.  Just note that the valve they replaced back in 1989 needs to be replaced, and that is what they will be doing this time around.  Also, a fun face about me....I mainly function off of one lung!! Awesome isn't it!!


So after my surgery it is going to the doctors say a week to 13 days to recover up at the hospital in Boston.  When I get home I should be slowly getting back to normal.  The hard part for me will be once I get home.  I won't be able to drive myself, or pick anything up heavier then 10lbs.  So, I'll need my friends support for that part.  I can't drive or hold babies say what?? lol  I'll be staying with my parents, and tho I love them you know I'll be itching to get out of the house.  You know to do anything.  Even if it's go to your house!! lol


Once I get to Boston, I plan to update you before and after my surgery as much as possible.  For my facebook friends/family, my mom will be in charge of posting on my status to let you all know how things are progressing. Don't worry I am going to give her lessons from my phone before we go! :)  I've also told her she can take pictures.  Even if I'm in ICU.  Brave of me I know.  I know some of you will be praying hard core, and be keeping a close eye on how I'm doing.  Therefore, I don't mind sharing this part of my life with y'all.  :) 

Tomorrow I'm talking to the doctors and going to ask them a few questions.  As you know they've said not to do any crazy exercising and that walking is fine, but I've even been putting that off.  I want to know if I can do a little Yoga, and I think that would be good for me.  I did it once before with my friend of mine, and had a great time.  I'd love to see if I can work with an instructor tho instead of a class.  I need to do something I have gained 5lbs since not working out and I'm not a happy camper.

Anyway please feel free to add my blog page to your bookmarks!! I will update you as soon as I can!!
Meg :)
