Yeah.... Back at the Alfred. Got a procedure to remove a stent(filter) from my inferior vena cava. It was put there when some blood clots formed and traveled to my lungs and heart after the Big Chop back in August of last year. Apparently, I suffered a mild heart attack... and I didn't believe Wendy when she told me during one of the times during that hard period of time between the Big Chop and me coming lucid in late September. They put the stent in that large vein to prevent any further clots from reaching my lungs. Unfortunately, I did have some complications... a pulmonary embolism and an esophageal bleed. I was really sick, apparently, y'all. My mind was where I was, and apparently again... that's where I still am.... Still in the Alfred Hospital's ICU. Can't seem to shake the feeling of disassociation from being sedated and all my hallucinations were so vivid and real feeling that it took me weeks to re-establish my mind. But I'll forever be changed by that experience. I'm going to be sedated again for this procedure. I'm thinking positively... being chatty with the transport guys and nurses... listening to music... spontaneous karaoke sessions that make people wonder what I'm listening to... I swear if I ever can finish my studio... just wanna switch things up. . Then I think to myself about what I want to do and what I'm actually able to do... I'm not there, y'all. I gotta be honest. I'm never going to be the same again, and my recovery is taking far longer than planned. It's slow going. Hopefully now that NDIS has been approved for me, I can get a package that will truly benefit me and help get all the gear I need to make it easier to do what I can do, and do it efficiently. And also help give me therapy equipment to lift the depression a bit.... and finally start getting prolific. . Y'all have a good day and night. See y'all on the other side! ❤️❤️ . #alfredhospital #thealfred #alfred #stent #amputee #amputate #rehab #caulfieldhospital #spoonie #jwspoonie #jw #jwlife (at The Alfred) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9KdyrBAi9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ydr613g5001
