here i yam

thanks biz. yesterday took forever. i got to the hosp at 0730 and didn't get taken into the OR til 1500. the procedure went well but...they couldn't get the filter out. the dr spoke to my friend and said it might be impeding into the blood vessel. yikes. just what i didn't want to happen.

the risk then, with leaving it in is that it would damage the vessel (and it's a big one), cause bleeding, or cause death if it perforates. i see the dr in 3 wks so will ask all my usual big list of Q's. i feel like i was run over by a mack truck today. every muscle is sore. can't drive for 4 days. that's ok. i'm going to sleep alot.

plus, i didn't eat or drink for 17hrs. don't worry, i won't whittle away to nothing because i need to drop 50 lbs. now that really would be an inspiration.
