@GingerHead and everyone. I had my surgery yesteday afternoon and stayed in ICU overnight. Everything went very well and I came home today and will rest a couple of days, but really no restrictions as they went thru the wrist and not the groin. I just want to thank everyone for your well wishes and prayers, A big thank you to GingerHead for telling me to get to the doctor and have things checked out due to noises in my head.

Wow, Through the hand!

Now that's crazy. I just looked that up so interesting.

I'm just so thankful that you took the initiative to get it checked out and everything went well for you! What a whirlwind of events!

Now take it easy and recover.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I've had several heart caths and they go through the wrist. They still prep the groin, but go through the wrist and it is so much easier. I now have trouble with that wrist, hope it is not related.

@catter70 YAY!!! I realize this seems like a little response, but believe me.... I am jumping with joy inside!!! EVERYONE on here has been patiently waiting for your update, and THANK YOU for thinking so highly of everyone that you updated us SO quickly!!!

I am thrilled they were able to use your wrist rather than your groin!!! It hasn't been that long that they are sometimes able to make that important switch. It seems each year they make strides for faster and easier healing, which is wonderful. (Yes, @Kachina624 medical science IS wonderful!)

Now you deserve REST and a little RELAXATION! Even though you were given no restrictions due to using the wrist, you did just have not only a significant surgery, but an extremely emotional last few days. For that I hope you treat yourself to doing whatever it is that makes you happy. Yes, getting through this will be enough for happiness, but I mean just to breathe deeply and truly marvel at science and allow your body to fully recuperate.

Once again, thank you to @GingerHead for mentioning you need to see a doctor pronto. I hadn't read that thread but I will look for it. I don't know what symptoms you both experienced and would like to catch up on that. This is clearly something that needed prompt attention! I had never heard of hearing noises in your head.

Continued prayers for speedy healing and peace of mind! Thank you again @catter70 for catching us up. We will breathe a sigh of relief to know you are well again
