Hurry back! Unless your doctor says to take it slow. In that case, listen to your doctor!!!

Holy crap!

Hope you have a speedy recovery...

Get well soon man.

 

[speter]

Best of luck, revvy. Don't forget to promise your surgeons some homebrew, to be delivered only after successful recovery!

 

[Scut_Monkey]

Stay positive Revvy, you will be feeling better soon.

I wish I could say I was worried for ya Revvy, but after watching these heart docs work their magic on my dad a few years ago, it's clear this **** is downright trivial to them. They sweat the oil change on their BMW more.

Just think of it as a ticker tune-up!

It is quite amazing to watch heart surgeons work. I have had the privilege of scrubbing in for quite a few valve replacements and bypass surgeries during PA school. The highlight of this was getting to hold back a patients heart while two surgeons sutured a bypass graft onto the back of the heart. What is new and completely scary for the patient is routine and relatively straight forward for surgeons. It's amazing to watch them take a patient off the bypass machine, warm the heart back up and watch it spontaneously kick start itself back to pumping.
It is scary to think about and scary to think that they can do such a procedure but it really is a well coordinated dance that has been done thousands of times. Rest easy.

One thing, Revvy... When you come back... Pics or it didn't happen.

 

[jds]

Stay strong, Revvy. Good luck to you. We'll be waiting to hear when everything's OK.

 

[weirdboy]

Good luck, Revvy! Hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow.

 

[xeerohour]

Good luck Revvy! Thanks for all the great advice you've provided around here. I know I'm a better brewer than I was a year ago, and your posts have played a large role in that.

 

[Revvy]

Thanks everyone. I'm up. I haven't slept a wink. I've got to be there at 5am, and my surgery is scheduled for 6:45. It's slotted to be about 3.5 hours. My family should know something by 11 I would assume. I showed Marybeth how to post to my FB from my droid. And then AZ_IPA said he'd post here on HBT an update. Hopefully in a couple days I'll be able to post something myself.

 

[scrambledegg81]

All the best, Revv. Will be tracking on FB.

 

[robtotten]

Good luck!
