Vascular Surgery with the Trellis

So during my week stay at Mercy hospital I researched like crazy to try and find a good reliable surgery to have for the many clots in my femoral and iliac veins.  I could not take knowing they were just sitting in my veins so I decided to go the route of surgery to remove them.  I found the type of surgery I knew I wanted and low and behold they did that kind right next door to Mercy at The Heart Hospital!  My surgeon was a lovely guy from Ireland with a terrific accent!  I guess Mike snuck a picture of me in the recovery room!  The gross bloody picture was the next day home from the hospital.  They did the surgery through the back of my knee and went up my veins clear to my abdomen and removed as many clots as they could.  The Heart Hospital is Awesome!  Wish I would have stayed there for a week instead of Mercy!  HAHA
