Really looking forward to it, nice place, 3 meals a day, round the clock room service, they even providing some decent pain killers!! And on top of that I get really neat scar in the center of my chest!! Basically it's open-heart surgery to fix a defective heart valve. Not to worry if some reason their rib cutter doesn't work, jamesp 's tile saw with the tuck point blade is on standby. Not how I really wanted to spend my summer. I suspect my wife had some put motion detectors out in the garage in case I try to sneak out and move buckets of rocks around!!! Later

Henry, thoughts and prayers are already heading your way! Like Robin said...do what the doctors say...and the Mrs.! *But if you do have to sneak out to the garage...there might be floor sensors...so it might be Mission Impossible! *This post will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2...

I'll be praying for you! Strange to say, but these things have gotten so routine now that they are pretty good at it. I'm sure you'll do fine- it's the recovery that will be a real test of patience. Mind your doctors and your wife! No rock lifting!

It was sounding good, right up to and including pain killers. Poor you having to get cut open. The good news is they have gotten quite good at this operation and you will be surprised how quickly you recover. Be nice to the nurses. ;-)

Ahh damn, sorry you've got to deal with that HankRocks. When I first read your title I remembered you and I talking about you guys coming to Napa some day but I guess that will have to wait. Health is number one so on that note I hope the steady hands of the surgeons patch you up right nice and make many more future vacations for you a reality.

Good luck on it. Don't sweat the scar because I've been told that chicks dig scars.

Sending positive thoughts your way. Make sure you bring some books to the hospital, as once you're up and about, you'll be happy for some thing different to distract you.

I've already gained a dozen extra years from these Utah surgeons - Texas Surgeons try to outshine everyone so plan on at least that much and more. Zippers give you bragging rights! My new "tat" + bullet holes (tube entries)
