"Post" post - my new birthday

I didn't know whether to share this - but decided to and revised this post.  

Revised August 17, 2014:

My new birth date is July 23, 2014. That's what they say around here when you get a new heart.

I'm in ICU and have been since surgery, it's taken a while before I could write. Wow, had some crazy dreams, visions and hallucinations over the last two days. The great care staff, Vickie, Tom and Nancy kept guard over me and talked me through the worst of them - at 3:00 AM!. Reaction to the drugs I was told. I have experienced events that have changed me and how I will view the world. I have an understanding of mental illness - it was so real, but my mind was in paranoid overdrive. Nothing the staff hasn't dealt with before and was not ready for. I am thrilled and really drugged. Should be getting most of my tubes out today. I'll be in the hospital for 2 to 3 weeks. Thanks for all your prayers everything is going great right now.

Special thanks to Meghan (with apologies), and to Lori and Lorna, all of TGH ICU. Tom and Nancy picked up Vickie and they came to my aid at 3:00 in the morning! How can I say what good friends they are. God bless these, God bless us all.
