GamerDad De-Wired
Posted on February 5th, 2008 by
Well, today (Feb 6th) is the day I finally get the staples, wires, or whatever they really are, out of my chest. Most people tolerate these just fine but for some reason my skeletal structure, my broad massive giant chest, my impressive physique, is rejecting the metal that held my ribcage together after doctors so expertly bust it open to quintuple my bypass… so, in the morning, I’ll go under the knife again to have a superficial incision and then I presume he’ll take wire-cutters and remove the remaining jabby things. I can’t wait! I’ve been in low-level pain for almost two months now. I should be home tonight, don’t wait up for me but I’ll fill you guys in on Thursday!

Hope it all goes really well, and Happy Birthday to Henry for Thursday too!! I’m sure he’ll be pleased to have Daddy home and feeling better for his big day!

Hi everyone, this is GamerMom. Andy is home and doing well. He has no more wires in his chest and should heal well with no complications. He does have some pain and is taking it easy. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. Linda

Ive got the pain meds working for me now and I plan on taking the weekend and just doing some light gaming. Thanks for all the blessings and kind thoughts. Love you all,
