From Facebook: Rami says: " Made it through the night, bleeding has stopped."
Hey guys,
I was able to do more today, and am feeling better now that I was able to get some food in me. However, I am still having some intermittent problems with nosebleeds, they ended up packing my right nostril, and also I have three stitches in my neck, because the insertion point on my neck was still oozing more than 24 hours after surgery. I will get them removed after I return home.
But I am alive, and am on the mend, slowly but surely.

Rami,
That was one hell of a physical ordeal you just went through and it will take some time for the old bod to sort itself out.
Glad to hear that the healing and sorting has begun.
Hang tough.

Good afternoon,
Here is the full skinny for those who want the whole kit-and-kaboodle...
I am doing okay. The surgery went well, they were able to do a venous angioplasty that dilated my venous system to 18mm, which has significantly relieved some of the pressure on my legs. It was too dangerous to do both (putting stents in) at the same time, for the reason that if my veins were to re-constrict with the stents in it could cause serious complications. So I will likely have to fly out either in January or February to be reevaluated.
I had some unexpected problems with nosebleeds, which required two trips to the emergency room the same night after I was released. The nosebleed was significant, lasting over four hours and would not stop on its own, requiring them to pack my right nostril, which has not been pleasant. I should be getting it removed when I return home. I was also bleeding from the surgery's entry point, my jugular vein, so they ended up having to put three stitches into my neck.
Further, I also found out that while I do not have a hypercoagulative blood disorder, (meaning there is a problem in my blood that allows it to clot easier than normal) I am showing some minor heart problems that will require me to take high blood pressure medication after returning home. Knowledge of the former likely means that my blood clots in both legs were likely the result of the unknown constriction, not the supposed blood disorder.
They should remove the packing and check the stitches on Wednesday morning when I visit my doctor's office back in Brockton.

It has inspired me a bit to write a mission for the Viet Project:
Operation Rami:
We must make a raid on the VC, they are attempting to slow down our major artery
of required supplies...This will be a Surgical Operation led by Doc Mayo and a follow
up of our Boston Crews. This mission will be followed up with operation Boston
Marathon.
I will leave the rest For Rami to finish.
Be safe and heal my friend,
Dave
Wow!, he's looking sooo much better, amazing I thought it was only his legs they were dealing with......he he he...
Andrew, and I'm sure SOH admin will be glad of your enforced R&R time, chill and enjoy.
Cheers
