THE PICS!!!
Edit:
Well according to my post most people wanted to see the pictures so i added them in with the explaition so you can see the progress i made. Will also say that on the SECOND Monday dad booked the hotel for at least another 2 and a half weeks. Didn't expect the quick recovery i guess.

A brief explination:
Mon: Flew out to Melbourne.
Tues: First time to hospital, tests and crap all day, admitted to my discust to be taken off all medication and put on drips.
Wed: Most boring day ever, still well but in hospital with drips in my arm. Good to get visit from cousin and good mate though.
Thurs: Surgery very early morning after a shocking sleep. Ended up not going completely how planned and took almost 14 hours.
Fri:Out for full day in ICU, opened eyes for first time very last that night apparently.
Sat: Still in ICU, not much changed.


Sun: Came out of ICU late in day to normal cardiac ward, nothing much changed either.
Mon: Good day, drank for first time (coke) and had TWO WHOLE spoon fulls of jelly. Unfortunatley that night i vomited all night and had a very bad one which resulted in me loosing the affect of my first dose of medication as well. Took me off another drug which was very affective pain relief post operative, however also made me very sick.

Tues: Prity standerd day, was comfortable and nothing to much happend. That night chest drains and that were taken out and i was stitched up which made a HUGE difference. Local clowns came around as well but i was so knocked up on madazalan that i don't remember. Porbably a good thing, apparently it was like i was high.

5 Minutes later...

Wed: All of a sudden this was a major rurning point and i was walking and eating this day for first time.

Thurs: Improvement but once again prity standerd and was comfotable. Also saw out a window and outside for the first time.
Fri: AMAZINGILY let back to the motel and big improvement. Just great to get out the hospital and everything. Ovcourse the first thing i did even before being let out that day was when the drips were taken out i headed straight to the hospital park to get outside. Sleep wasnt great but better than in hospital. Caught a taxi the 400M back to the motel. Didn't take long for me to make a mistake though and got a big scab under my nose, as you can see in the picture.

Sat: Relaxing day saw friends, family etc. Still had to go back to hospital though.
Sun: Relaxing day saw friends, family etc. also got to go the the Melbourne Zoo.

Mon: Relaxing day saw friends, family etc. Still had to go back to hospital though. + discharged formally which was awsome. Also got out of motel to stay at families place for the night which was great.
Tues: Once again just a blood test and then came home which is great. Also met someone in the hospital that my mum and dad had become good friends with. She had a baby Hamish that was going into surgery so i went up to ICU for the first time to see him. Quite different place there, the pictures just don't show how flat out and intense it is. ICU is the Intensive Care Unit and i also met the doctors that had looked after me, some when i was even 9 months old the first time round.




Anyway theres all the pictures with the description, hope it shows a bit more of what i been doing the last couple weeks.

Cheers
