Carnegie, Deirdre Diana
On April 10th, I had the Hernandez Jugular Bi-Pass. I am doing amazingly well. Every day I recognize an ablility that was lost is now found. An example would be chasing after my dog when it got out of the yard. She is a collie -husky cross, a good size and a fast runner. Yes I was able to catch her not by using my words but by my legs. No falling, no stumbling no being out of breathe. I realize how fortunate I am for this procedure to be working. I think or know part of this was because I did not have multiple procedures and no stents giving Dr. Hernandez something to work with. Yes before the procedure my hands, feet , legs were all numb. My vision was doubled and to drive I wore a patch.Not the safest and I definitely had a gaurdian angel on my shoulder when behind the wheel. I was also having difficulty with my heart taking up to nine hits of nitro a day and the most horrible heaches. That is all gone away. Do I second guess my decision, no it has given me back the quality of life I was missing. I know longer wake up with the dread of whats going to go wrong with me now. I wake up and embrace the day looking forward to more improvements day to day.
