Tony's surgery went well and is recovering smoothly. While he was drowsy after the surgery, he told me he just had a dream about transformer....he finds fun, as always. So no worries, that's the least thing I wish from all of you. He will be back on FB soon, I promise!

2012 - 2014 were the most difficult years of my life. In 2012, a routine gastric bypass surgery developed into life-threatening complications, several emergency surgeries, weeks spent intubated in the ICU, and months of hospital stay. It took almost 2 full years for me to recover. In 2014, I had an aortic valve replacement surgery. My chest was cracked open, my heart was stopped and put on bypass, then everything got put back together without any major issues.

Hospital Scribbling
For a period of 2 weeks, due to the severity of my internal injuries, I was intubated, heavily medicated, in a great deal of pain, completely confused about all that was happening around me and TO me, yet not being able to speak.
As I drifted in and out of consciousness, I attempted to communicate with my loved ones by desperately trying to write down what I wanted to say. I thought I was writing in a clear and concise manner as I have always written...but I was thoroughly shocked later on to discover just what I was actually writing/scribbling:

Jenny's Update #1
Tony is stable at this point. We are waiting for the doctors' decision and should be able to know by this week. We are expecting him to be more responsive and speaking next week.
Thanks very much for all the concern.

Hospital Transfer - FROM: New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens; TO: New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell Medical Center
After receiving emergency surgery in New York Hospital, it would be 5 more days before I was stable enough for them to transfer me back to New York Presbyterian Hospital so that my original surgeon could take over my case and continue my care. I have remained unconscious since late night of April 17th, I was unconscious during the transfer, and I remained unconscious for a few more weeks after arriving at NYP.
