I got up this morning and found some of the swelling in my thigh had abated.

Still feverish though.

The redness is hanging in there also.

It isn't quite as painful, so that is a plus.

The thigh high stocking came in today and will go on in the morning.

The doctor's office called earlier to check on me and they got this same report.

I read the ultrasound report and found out that, though it wasn't a total occlusion, it was a major one.

I will see her in the morning also.

Trying to look on the bright side of things.

I will take recovery from this one day at a time as I took my quit journey.

Travel safely my friends and be well.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
