    Praying for you Peter. My daughter is a nurse working in a cardio surgery unit. Says piece of cake for your procedure in today’s wonderful world of medicine. Just keep positive and we’ll hear from you very soon.

    Update:  the "old fart" junior is recovering well in the hospital, and is due to be released on Tuesday.
    Released? Or getting kicked out because they are tired of him?

    Some of you know a littlem bit about what's going on, but now everyone will.

    I've been seeing a caardiologist because of fatigue and chest pain when I exert myself too hard like pushing my lawn mower.  She put me through a stress test and an echocardiogram in early November that showed some abnormalities.  That brought me to this morning, undergoing an angiogram to have a look-see at my coronary arteries.  The doc doing the angiogram said I couldn't go home but needed to take an ambulance ride to a hospital that does heart surgery.  Tomorrow, bright and early they're doing bypass surgery on 4 arteries and replacing the aortic valve.

    2-3 days in ICU, 2-3 days in a regular room and I can go home.  No lifting more than 10# for a couple weeks and no driving for 8 weeks.

    It kinda sucks.  But in 8-12 weeks I'll be a lot better off than I am now, and have a nice scar to show the grandkids.  And if things go very wrong and I wake up in heaven I don't think I'll be doing any complaining.  So it's all good.

    I appreciate your concern and will update this thread in a couple days.

    Cheers!

    Leave denied....get back to work.

    My understanding is that when he took the mic at Karaoke the first song he sang was Madonna's "Like a Virgin"

    2 days later he sang Poe's "I'm not a Virgin anymore"

    Seems like some kind of message to me.

    Oh!  I thought it was Weird Al's "Like a Surgeon".  My bad.
