I’m home from the hospital and feeling much better after open heart surgery on October 31, this year. I had open heart surgery at Shasta Medical Center in Redding and on the day before my release, a defibrolation where my heart rate went to 120 plus beats per minute.
Technically, I had a Gortex Patch into a huge aneurysm in my ascending aorta and the damage there had caused some damage to the valve out of my heart which they were able to repair. During the operation I was on an artificial heart machine for four or five hours.
They put me back into the ICU and gave me a low voltage shock that got my heart back into the correct rhythm. It was quit a jolt, but it did the job. I can’t thank the hospital and my Doctors enough, not to mention the staff at Shasta Medical Center.
I had been experiencing extreme shortness of breath for a couple of weeks that had been getting progressively worse. I went to a walk in clinic here in Redding, to get it checked out, they asked me several questions and before I knew it I was in an ambulance, on my way to the hospital. They did a kind of ultra sound test within minutes of my arrival and from there they rolled me right into the operating room. The last thing I remember is a doctor telling me that “You’ll be asleep in a minute” and then waking in the ICU.
I was in the hospital two weeks, lost 27 lbs during my stay, much of it water, had fluid drained out of my left lung with a 3 inch needle inserted through my back, and generally feel quite good now that I am out and around.
I am scheduled to be back to work October 11, 2005 and am looking forword to it.
