First my mum came, then my husband after that my youngest son and his wife. They all stayed no more than two hours and then drove 2.5 hours home. Later that afternoon my step after arrived and spent two hours then he is now driving 4 hours home. I met a lots of doctors but non that I paid attention to except the thoracic surgeon and the electophysiologist. The surgeon said he did this particular surgery often for people who sweat profusely.I'm his first cardiac patient. Non the less it's the same surgery. It will take about 40 minutes. So in total. An hour to get me all preped up 20 minutes on the left side then20 minutes on the right then an hour in recovery. After that it's a let me sober up from sedation and I will tell you if it worked for me. The surgeon said the he has a 60 to 70% success rate. But that's for the other stuff. I hope I will be his first 100% success rate for cardiac. Well you all get a good night's sleep. I'm now of to bed and will talk more tomorrow.
