They did find another possible problem during the surgery-but hey, this is me we're talking about. I may have a problem in my lungs called AV-Malformation. Another clotting problem and possible stroke risk. I had a CT scan this afternoon to see if this is the case. It is unrelated to the heart thing, but we would have never found it without this procedure.

I'm Alive
Surgery went well. I was awake and watched the whole thing. Very cool. The most uncomfortable thing about the entire procedure was having a strange man shave my nether-regions and then he put a sterilizer on directly afterwards (can you say BURNING...just a little). I had to stop myself from yelping.

So far all is good. The hole is closed, and Brian brought me Cafe Rio for lunch. We'll let you know about my lungs. Until then, signing off to take a nap!

Glad to hear everything went well! If ya need anything we are not to far down the road just let me know!
Hooray!!! I'm so glad that all is well (well....Nik's version of all is well- keep us posted on the lungs thing)
Well I'd say you look pretty smokin HOT for someone who's had surgery, a cat scan and the razor burn of a life time! Good goin NIK!
We were happy and relieved to hear that your surgery went so well. Recovery is always a great time to have everyone waiting on you! Wish we were there to help out.
I'm with Jess--I think I would still have a look of terror from the shave! Can I help with Cole today or tomorrow?
How fun that a man shaved you...good times. I hope you recover quickly.
Nik,
I have been wondering and wondering how things went, just now finding the time to check. I'm glad to know the hole is fixed and honestly not surprised they "found" something(what are we going to do?). Happy to know your writing skills weren't affected, hilarious stuff about the you know what!
Yeah! I am so glad things went well! Let me know if you need more cafe rio and some movies!
I'm so glad everything went well for you! You are just about the strongest chica I know! Hang in there and know that you're being thought of. Speedy recovery! :)
