The doctor showed us the video of the procedure about fourty five minutes ago. It's very cool to see the narrowing in the veins, then the balloons and then puff no stenosis. I will try and video tape some of it and post it tonight for you.We will be here for about another hour, we are waiting for the other two patients Gary and Lena who were also operated on yesterday to be released. Then we all head back to the hotel.
The nurse took out Don's I.V. about twenty mintues ago, which made Don a free man. He stood up took three steps before i noticed that he was bleeding from where the I.V. was. They added any extra piece of tape to add pressure to the site and told him to chill out for fifteen minutes.
Ten minutes passed and like a kid going to the candy store he was up and out of the room. We walked down two rooms to see Gary. The legs aren't much better for walking but he hasn't had any physio yet so aren't surprised.
Physio starts tomorrow!!!
Look at that grin!!!! Where's your Superman cape? :-)
