Vena Cava Filter



I'm sorry I didn't write yesterday. I was really pooped, and I'm sure today will be no better. Yesterday, we found out that they are going to delay Ken's surgery. They are going to send him to Mason City on Wednesday (at least that's the day they thought it would happen) and there they'd put a filter in his Vena Cava. This filter is meant to catch and blood clots that might come up from his legs, which is what they thought happened when he developed a blood clot in his lungs. We both think this is a good idea. And from the sounds of it, it is relatively painless and simple. Then on Thursday, they'll repair the hernia in Emmetsburg. I'm just glad that I have Friday and Monday off. The long winter has stretched out into a long spring!
