Two More Photos

This photo I took as I was preparing to be discharged.  I am disheveled, unkempt, and unshaved after eight days in the hospital.



This is another on-the-road shot as I passed through Wyoming.

Woah, those stitches are freaky. Actually, it's not the stitches, it's that you're standing and fully aware in that picture. It's amazing how quickly they can get you out of the hospital (though I'm sure it didn't seem quick!) after surgery like that.

That picture was taken 1 week after the surgery, so a mere 7 days. The first few days I could barely stand and the first day I could barely breathe. The resiliency of the human body is pretty amazing. Of course I am about half the age of most people who go in for heart surgery, so I had a bit of an advantage. I couldn't imagine going through this when I'm 60.
