I've survived! Barely....was in ICU for a bit but lived too tell about it.
Ginger- A thorocoplasty will take a rib and you will wake up with a chest tube. I did they said it would be in four days but I whined enough about
wanting it out, that they took it out the next day.
As far a the details of the THREE surgeries I endured, I will post later because I just now have the strength to sit here and type for a few minutes and my mind is still very foggy. I lost 6 out of 7 pints of blood in surgery one and three so I have a long way to go yet. Give me a few more days girls and I'll tell you all about it. KrysiComment
