Surgery

Eric had surgery this week for his artial fibrillation.  Prior to going in, he did so much research on the internet that it was driving me crazy.  He watched YouTube video after video on all the types of procedures possible, and the outcomes of each.  I think he was more versed on the procedure than  the medical staff.


Before the IVs were hooked up, we took one quick selfie.

Once the IVs were hooked up and a little gas started through his air tubes, the true engineer came out in him:Nurse:   Are you allergic to latex?Eric:  I don't believe that the compound properties of latex create an adverse reaction on my skin.Nurse:  Ok, I'll take that as a no.   

Once in recovery, the hospital had a "code orange" or a "fire warning" on the first floor.  Although still groggy from the medication, Eric instinctively replied that they needed to  "transfer power from the electrical outlet to a battery".  He doesn't remember saying any of this, which is quite funny.

The doctor said the procedure went really well, and he couldn't even force a-fib when he tried!  Eric has been doing great at home, lectored in church this weekend, and even went for a long walk today.  Very thankful and blessed!
