Awaiting Surgery

Date:
in: Health

Right now it is 6.26am and I am laying in a hospital bed writing this post on my phone. I am currently waiting to be taken into surgery to have a stent put into a vein leading to my heart. They are going to attempt to go up through my groin, but because of how bad my veins are they are not sure if this will work. If this fails they will have to crack my chest open to gain full access into my heart area. If they can go via groin will only be in for the day. If they have to crack open I could be in for 10+ days. I will do an update when I am out of surgery and up to being able to write one, even if only a short one.

I am being taken in around 7.30am – so approx. 40 minutes for now. All going well via groin should be in surgery for less than an hour. If they crack the chest who knows how long it will take.

I know I have some family and friends thinking of me today and I thank you for that. I need that. Even though I have no one here with me and I am scared shitless I know I have support from around the world. Anyway enough on here hard typing on phone for long posts.

More info later in the day. And wish me luck.

      I am doing sort of alright Phil. I will do a surgery update probably tonight. Was a slight issue and is causing a few issues but I will leave that for a post. I hope you’re doing well also 🙂
