you know this brings back the scary memories of my heart operation on Feb 27, 2006. A week after
the operation, I had complications. Kidneys shut down because of internal bleeding, and it was really
awful. Had to be opened up twice more, and went through 14 units of type O negative. If it weren't
for my youth (35 years old,) I would have become diabetic and lost my kidneys and pancreas.
Following a liquid diet, I was on renal diet for a week, no potassium allowed during that time. Now, I'm
back to almost normal - will be completely normal by May.
I've been through hell and back... I hope you get through this, too, Jim.
Okay, let's cheer things up a bit, shall we?
