Open heart surgery Wednesday...

Post by Bob Simpson »

Valve replacement.

Not that kind of valve...

So...
If I don't see you no more in this world
I'll see you in the next one
And don't be late...

Bob - you'll be fine. A friend of mine had valve replacement surgery 10 years ago after getting an infection during a dentists visit. He is better than new.

Pig or Cow? Are you Kosher?

Best of luck.

Make sure they bias you low/hot afterwards.

Just make sure they don't leave an unused triode.

Chin up matey, you are gonna be just fine!

The major hassles will be A) reviving from general anesthesia, ick & double ick. Only did that once and would like to avoid it if possible but ... if it's gotta be done then ya gots to do it. And 2) hospital will probably kick you out after 2 days or so, they're not much on keeping patients long these days. I'm sure it will be all for the best, home's a lot more comfy & you'll have an extremely good excuse to naff off for a while. Once you feel up to it, for a treat book a couple days at a swanky hotel :cool:, a fraction the cost of a hospital and much more fun.
