Fullenwider - 08-30-2007 12:41 Good evening to everyone: First, I would like to thank all whom me in their prayers. And the phone calls to my self and Charolette. Yes, I am home though I fear the worst is yet to come from this ordeal. I am black and blue from under the armpit to almost center chest and from just under the collar bone to under the pec. Went into surgery at 11:30 yesterday morning, then I remember waking up for a few semi coherent moments at around 1:15 PM or so, only to find that the Dr was telling me I had to go back into surgery as one of the leads of the de-fib unit had worked loose. As I was still semi under the influence of what ever drug, I mumbled something about,,,, ok bring on the dancing girls, this I found out later of course. So back into surgery and a second dose of knock me out stuff. I came to in recovery around 4:30 PM ish and was offered sips of 7 up and ice chips, which of course sounded good since I had not eaten since 7PM the night before. Well, you guessed it, two doses of knock me out stuff brought that sips right back up,,,, yuuuuk and it sure felt like someone had walked around on my left breast with hob nail boots, that is when I started feeling of course. Anyway, the walking 1 mile a day came in handy. After I got to my room and sobered up a little, and after a couple of phone calls in coming ( sorry if I did not make too much sense ) I went for a walk, with a nurse tagging along. So the rest of the night altered between becoming ill once more, then sleep then up for a walk. The walks were my thing mainly because those hospital beds are hard on the,,, umm,,, behind So it is back to the Dr office tomorrow to have the dressing changed, more xrays to be sure the "ground" is hooked up. What an ordeal,,,, bright side of this,,, 1. I am still breathing, 2. All the Birder friends sending their thoughts and prayers. It feels like I have 1 1/2 pounds of metal in my chest! LOL,,, hmmm wonder if I had the right cables if I could jump start my coach. Charolette sends her deepest appreciation as do I. > Safe travels, Ralph and Charolette Fullenwider 84FC35 Duncan, Oklahoma Ralph - chet geist - 08-30-2007 13:04 What;s that you told me "80% of the time it's the ground". Keep those terminals clean! So glad your starting your road to recovery. Hope to see you soon at one of the LSB rallies.

Ralph - Wallace Craig - 03-15-2008 11:20 Ralph asked me to tell everyone that he has gone fishing until March 19 and he is having fun. Probably I was the only one he could find who was not out running around on a pretty day.
