3 Glorious days of recovery in the hospital..

Well i get out of surgery and they wheel me into the Hospital room where i get to spend the next 3 wonderful days. The first 3 hrs they come in every 15 min and do my vitals. Since it was about 9 o'clock when i finished surgery i didn't sleep very well if you can imagine. After 3 hrs they came in only 2 times and hour and then finally when my family arrived the next day it was once and hour.

The doctor had few more test ran on me to see how much damage happened to my heart. I only hoped it was not very much so i can play baseball and continue to be active. My older brother who had the heart attack at 21 lost i think a quarter of his heart. I was a little scared because i would like to have my heart. I wanted to be around for our kid and our 2nd one on the way. After the test were done the dr. said there was maybe a scar on my heart that was about it very minimal. they told me i had one thing going for me that was that i was young and that we caught it so fast and the dr and nurses at malad hurried me up here that there was no significant damage. What a relief I couldnt wait to get back into action. playing baseball and sports getting back to work everything.

Probably the highlight of the hospital stay was they said i can get up on my own and use the bathroom without telling the nurse. When i went to do this without asking i unplug my moniter and then as i went into the bathroom i heard all these beeping noises and people came running in. I told them i was sorry and that i was told i could go anytime i wanted to.
