My fathers  joinery has been a long rough road. On Dec 7 2020 he went through an open heart surgery to replace a valve and take out an aneurysm. The surgery was successful , but be had many complications. He went into anafalatic shock. This made his surgery so much longer as they were saving his life. After this ordeal he spent 10 days in the ICU at St Mary's. He was only there for 2 days or so off the vent and then had to go for emergency surgery for a perferrated  ulcer. Then he was back on the vent and in and out of being aware of what was going on. The whole time COVID was in full swing, and my mom was alone in the hospital with no one to lean on when he was going through surgery's. This was a very difficult time for us as a family. We wanted to be with him everyday but we weren't allowed. That was the longest time ever in my life young and adult life that I haven't been able to see or talk to my Dad.
He was released from the hospital  on Dec 21st happiest day of our lives because we could finally see him and hug him and see he was alright. He came home and was recovering well.
Them on April 12th 2021 he underwent yet another surgery to bypass an aneurysm in his right leg. This went pretty well. He came home without any major complaints. He did however start to complain of shoulder pain and weekness in his right arm. At first it was just sore and then it progressed into pain he couldn't deal with. He has gone in several times for testing and pain management. He had an EMG to see what if any of the nerves were damaged or if he had a rotater cuff tear.  He has underwent other testing to see what is causing him such great pain and weakness I'm his arm. He also had no use in this arm. It has become crucial that he get more testing to see what is wrong with his arm before his next scheduled surgery for his other leg. They are doing the same surgery on his left leg in June. My father has been diagnosed with DVT DIEASE.
