Well, we are up here, just sitting in the ER waiting area, waiting for them to call my name

Well, it's been another week in the hospital, this has been a week of a lot of challenges, miscommunication issues leading to unnecessary procedure, to waiting for 12.5 hours to see if I could use the bathroom, not eating or drinking til 530p.m. on the first day in here even though I began fasting since the night before, then after they put the catheter in my groin when it was supposed to be in my chest, I couldn't eat til 5:30p.m., but they are awesome people here, and sometimes s**t happens, they've got the Hickman device in my chest and I'm on a drip throughout the day to build my heart strength up temporarily until we get things set up for transplant in Minneapolis. I never though I'd be in this situation this deep, two surgeries have been unsuccessful, but they say 3's the charm right?, I can't even begin to explain to you all how much your response and messages mean to me, I will not give this fight up, and one way or another I will win! I have good support, from my wife Tina, my mother, and all the rest of my family and all of you, some may think I don't want or appreciate the help they offer, but I do, more than any of you know, just remember this is me the man with the plan, and back up plan, im not used to needing or taking help, but im learning to, love you all thanks for being there!
