6 Days in August

WARNING: There are several scenes where my chest incision is shown - closed of course - but if you might be a little squeamish or offended by seeing that, then don't watch this video! On August 18th I had open heart surgery for a Coronary Arterial Bypass Graft, five of them to be exact. This is commonly known as a quintuple by-pass. I was released from the hospital 6 days later and I made a video while in the hospital the night before my release and then my eldest son Jeff videotaped me as I prepared to depart the hospital. As you will notice, my voice was quite weak and it affected my characterizations somewhat but I worked with what I had. I guess this answers the question "What does a YouTuber do in the hospital". Make videos of course!
I want to thank everyone who expressed concern, sent prayers and well wishes and those who posted wonderful "Get Well" videos. God bless all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. My repaired heart!

Brittani~ Bravery had nothing to do with it! Good drugs and fear of leaving all of you good people had much more effect! Thanks for the comment!

he's had a heart attack since and is in a coma :S

[GrimSolitude]

Whoa man, I didn't even have any idea you were going through that! I'm SO glad to see you on the road to recovery, and also stopped smoking. My father had surgery when I was 13 and quit smoking soon after. Because of that I believe he's still here today. I'm thankful you're done with smoking too. Happy that your big, Texas sized heart is doing better, my friend. :)
