I Feel Like A Mule Kicked Me In The Chest
That's the first thing my grandpa said when they took him off the ventilator following bypass surgery. Turned out to only be a quadruple.
Grandma is absolutely sure he's going to start bitching endlessly at any moment. I told her she'd bitch too if they sliced her open from chest to navel, yanked a vein out of each leg, tied them to her heart and stapled it all back up again. She seemed to understand that.
I'm so drained. I feel like I'm on a carousel and can only catch a glimpse of something as I pass by. I try really hard to make sure I look at it again on the next pass...hoping I'll see a little more detail. I can't though because that guy with the cotton candy walked right in my way.

I know how you feel. My mother went through an unscheduled emergency quadruple bypass last Tuesday morning because she had a heart attack. After the surgery her lung collapsed and then she developed pneumonia. She just came off the respirator yesterday. It's a harrowing experience, and I know how exasperated you must feel right now. My thoughts are with you. ;-)
Agh. Melissa, I hope you're doing okay.
Oh...girl. I thought it was tough with my grandpa. I can't IMAGINE if it was my mother. YOU hang in there!!
