Typhoon 5 Posted August 8, 2012 Well after reading Tranquillo's post it seems my surgery was a walk in the park. It has been 7 weeks and after the initial blood pressure problems my convalescence is proceeding pretty well as scheduled. The biggest problem is lack of stamina and a general feeling of lethargy. Only other problem is that the incision on my wrist where they removed an artery for my by-pass has become infected. It is red, swollen and sore to the point of not letting me use a joystick. Other than that I should be fit for full duty within a week or so. Save some Huns for me. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HumanDrone 4 Posted August 8, 2012 You should've told them you were a "simmer" so they could take the artery from somewhere else! Seriously, though, take care and welcome back! Hope you come out better than ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Tony, I'm glad to hear you are recovering, Sir! Surgery today is a lot different to what it was 30 years ago. But still, the surgery on a vital organ like the lungs or the heart are not really cakewalks. Not even for 25 year old people - at that age I had a lung surgery and know how I felt after that. But I'm still here, and recovered from all that - even if it took some time. And so will you, Tony - step by step, week for week. Don't give in to the lethargy - I know I had it too - move your body around, use your muscles a bit every day, and soon you will feel stronger and stronger. All the best for a good recovery, Tony - speedy or not. Edited August 8, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
