Digest Number 1070
Hi all, I haven't posted for a while, my 3x By Pass was 13 months ago, I still am having open wounds on my insician line, last one was the size of a 50 cent piece, wide open, we could see up and down and left and right, wide open dead space, they call it. Now 3 weeks later, it is almost healed again. Went thru CAT Scan, X-rays, and a 3 day Bone Scan. All came back ok, which I am very thankful for. Drs were thinking I had a Bone Infection, but that's all ok now. I am scheduled for Surgery again, (the 6th, since my By-Pass) to clean out chest area, look for infection or something inside that causing infection. Cultures have always come back as Yeast Infection.... So one more time, surgery again, leaving a open wound again, to heal again. Maybe this time will be the last time. I do feel pretty good other than walking around with wound holes on my chest, bit I do want to let others know the Power of a Nap !! Rus, Hobo and others, try having a nap in the afternoon, takes the edge off, refreshes oneself for another round of walking, hobbies, watching tv, reading or whatever. I even get to stay up for the Letterman Show, sleep midnight to 6 or 7, even 8AM. All this just from taking a nap, I figure !! Just have to turn your body clock around a little. I get so much more done around the house and yard work. Take care all, Try a Nap!! Donna in Roseville, MN.
