Mom sneaked a couple of pics while I was in the I.C.U. a couple weeks ago. I think this was the Monday after my Friday surgery. I had no idea there was that much equipment keeping me going! Some of the other shots show how my feet and hands were very swollen. One of the nurses remarked to my wife that she could actually see the fluids draining from my body as the swollen ares would slowly shrink (thanks in part to the excellent choice of drugs they used).
I’ve got some “before and after” closeup shots of the hemorrhages in my eyes for those of you interested here…

I’ve been slowly feeling better and better each day. I’m coughing less too (that’s making me quite pleased). I’m thinking of starting an exercise program this Monday but we’ll see just how well I do when I get started. All I know is that I lost 15 lbs while in the hospital and it feels pretty good. I plan on losing quite a bit more so I’m looking at this as a “kick-start” for my weight loss. I’ve already started eating smaller portions and less “junk food” so all I need to do now is get moving! Wish me all luck…
