I go into the hospital at 5AM Tuesday morning (Sept 13th). Final prep then (needles inserted, chest shaved, diodes attached, ect), and I go under the knife that morning for a 10 hour surgery. If all is good, I'll be out and in ICU by that evening, and I'll stay gassed under for a few days so the stitching and all can take and they can monitor for any signs of infection. Once awake, I'll stay in ICU for about a week and then go into rehab for as long as a month afterwards.
My hope, at this point, is to be home and independent by Halloween.
