♥️ HOLE PATCHED! ♥️

 Wednesday August 26th



Showed up at Trillium yesterday for my cardiac procedure...


SERVICE DATE???  What am I, a car 🚘 in for an oil change?  Just call me HottRod. ðŸ”Ĩ 




Woke up at Trillium Hospital this morning in the cardiology recovery room.  The procedure went well yesterday.  I was under conscious sedation, so was able to watch most of it on a huge screen in the operating room.  Pretty amazing to witness it FIRST HAND!  They put 2 catheters in my groin and one in my right wrist.  I could actually feel the one in my arm snaking through me.....creepy and cool all at once.  I watched them place the PFO Occluder in my heart.  Nice work Dr. Puley

Hole patched!! ðŸ™Œ 

(Now i just gotta deal with the three holes left by the catheters)

 Hopefully that’s the last of my strokes.  ONE AND DONE! ♥️ 





I’m gonna have to give the Breakfast Edge to Trillium over Oakville Hospital...

Believe your Eyes.....PORK SAUSAGE! 🐖 




The cutlery edge, however, goes to Oakville.ðŸī Check out my Funky Flat Fork this morning...

FALL RISK: I wasn’t expecting that for another 40 years. ðŸ‘īðŸŧ

It’s time to go home. ðŸĄ

 Saturday August 22nd I waited a long time for this moment.   A moment I’ll never forget.  We all cried, we all hugged, we all needed it.  Released back into the wild at 3:30 on Thursday afternoon... Jillian was there to take me home.  From the moment I went into the hospital until the moment I left, she was always there when I needed her.  I had the best welcoming committee there to greet me.  The kids made the most amazing signs and cards…  Aqua therapy has been fantastic! It has definitely been an adjustment coming home. More so than I thought it would be. The frustration of having to ask for help with everything. I mean everything.  Definitely need to take time to rest. Gone from puttering around my hospital room, to having to navigate the house and yard. Friday: A couple of errands that HAD to get done on my first full day at home… Went to the DMV with dad 😒🙄 and LensCrafters to get some new reading glasses ðŸĪ“. Not sexy but like I said...

ðŸšķA WALK IN PROGRESS 🏃

 Wednesday August 12th Skies before Sunrise GRASP - Graded repetitive arm supplementary program GRASP is an arm and hand exercise program for people with stroke It can be undertaken by the patient on their own as homework It is highly recommended the patient has assistance from family Grasp has three exercise levels to accommodate different levels of stroke severity The exercises are designed improve range of motion, strengthening, weight-bearing, functional tasks and fine motor skills. It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of time, but hopefully I’ll be able to eventually perform such simple tasks as putting toothpaste on my toothbrush, doing buttons up on my shirt, or taking off/putting on the lid of a jar.  As crazy as it sounds… All three of those things seem like monumental tasks to me right now. Jillian caught me hard at work on the blog in my “hospital office”.... I feel like I hit the jackpot today with my lunch… Steak Pie!  Yeah, so what if the thing was the...

The JOKER 🃏

 Monday August 17th Joker on a staircase That was me today… Joker on a staircase.  I went up, and down a flight of stairs today.  Believe it or not but this is very exciting. Now I did have not one, but two spotters… LOL.  And I did have a cane. But I made it. Up and down. I have been going up and down four steps in the gym here but hadn’t attempted a full staircase yet. Now I know I’m ready for home. ðŸĄ  Speaking of going home...It turns out my discharge date has been moved up to Thursday afternoon 🙌 because there is a large group being discharged on Friday morning. I figure if Jillian picks me up at 4 o’clock....I can catch the 4:30 GO train into the city, be at the KEG by 5:30 ðŸŧ , dinner at Jacob ðŸĨĐ ...maybe head to 2CATS around 10...Then head to the Matador when that shuts down.  ðŸ™„ KIDDING!  I can’t wait to GO HOME!   Thanks for dropping off lunch this weekend, Johnny!  ðŸ†  On a completely unrelated note, I wore shorts with a butt...
