Default Dan/Fuzzy thru surgery

I just spoke to Dan's nurse..........his surgery went well......finished around 12:30pm. He is in ICU and he is starting his recovery.
I guess all your prayers worked!

On another note, If you went to a Bank of America branch and made a contribution to Dan's fund................please PM me with the title: Fund.
I don't need amounts.............just trying to keep the bank on the up and up!
Thanks,

Thats great now he can look foward to getting those seat belts back on in about 4-5 months. Keep the prayers going for Dan. its a tough road to full recovery especially within the next few weeks.

Please let his daughter know that if he does not own a recliner, that will have to be his first purchase, and it should be at his home as soon as he gets discharged.
Take it from me, I had 6 way bypass 3 years ago and my recliner was a great friend since you can not lay flat or get up from bed without alot of pain for 5 to 6 weeks post op. Not to mention during the day for the first 3 weeks you still feel like a train wreck and need to rest.
I tried to sleep in my bed the first night home, which was IMPOSSIBLE. The next day Lisa got me my Lazyboy
I wish we lived closer so I could give him mine.....I hope I won't need it again
