After spending the last 3 Months in the hospitals of the University of Penn and NYP/ Cornell, I can attest that this is absolutely true. Although my surgery was 100% succsseful, removing all blockage in both the left and right legs, I contracted a VGI, Vascular Graft Infection, while undergoing the September 20th surgery. Making the past three months challenging with 60+ days in Hospitals. Current state: DVT in both legs, removed. Weight: down 50#. State of mind: get to live again, rethinking the future.

I am so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with these issues and I hope that things will improve. Everyday is a gift, Godspeed!
