Quote: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.
Well, all the best! You should nevertheless think positively.
If the operation is problem-free, you have thought for nothing. If it goes wrong, have your thoughts also of no used.
It's not the same as heart surgery, but in 2010, on the advice of my dentist, I had my teeth straightened; there was nothing to see, but something was really wrong. For the correction, the teeth had to be ground down and straightened in order to put on the crowns.
The first session lasted 5 hours and four injections a four stitches. The second session lasted over 7 hours and I received 5 injections of 4 stitches each. I was so exhausted. . . and I was there by bike. The third session also lasted more than 5 hours and was one of the worst, because the upper teeth would ground down and I got the injections in the palate. In all the hours I helped myself by thinking about my great love. C'est la vie!
As I said, no heart surgery, but after all three sessions I got myself a good bottle of red wine and that rebuilt me.
If I were going to have an operation like yours, I would say to myself: If you get out of here alive, I'll get myself a good bottle of wine, or two, and a baguette, and raw ham to go with it. And Cheers!

Of course! That's the right attitude!
