April 12, 20197 yr Man, you are having to battle through some obstacles. That will be awesome if you can get home this weekend. Hopefully no more left turns and you get there.
April 12, 20197 yr Just read your updates, UKMF. That must have been so scary for you and your wife. Glad you are on the mend!
April 12, 20197 yr Author Pending a good result on a blood test being done overnight tonight, I should be discharged tomorrow!!! Can’t wait to be home, but most importantly, can’t wait to see my little guys!
April 15, 20197 yr Author The hits just keep coming. Finally released Saturday, spiked a slight fever last night and went to the hospital where a chest CT scan showed fluid in my chest that they weren’t sure if it was infected, just fluid, or some clotted blood. So in a few more hours I’ll be getting cut back open and undergoing surgery #3 in the last ten days. This one is still major as their opening my chest up but much less risky than the other two. Continued thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Physically I’m still good, but emotionally and mentally I’m about at the end of my rope.
April 15, 20197 yr Terrible news, the doctors are the best. Just keep the faith, man and hang in there.
April 21, 20197 yr Author Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. I was discharged home again today. This time hopefully for good. Have follow ups Thursday of this week as well as more shortly after but fingers crossed I’m finally on to recovery. PS: This type of surgery hurts something awful. The soreness and general lack of energy or strength I have in my entire upper body is remarkable.

I am still recovering from my knee surgery in July. You are on the right road. Just take your time. No hurry.
April 22, 20197 yr I've been keeping up with your updates UKMF. Hopefully you're through the worst of it. Hang in there my good buddy!
