Glad to hear everything turned out well. Now is the time time to milk it for all its worth and really get the sympathy from the wife.

Thanks for the Aloha. 

Thanks Ron.

Recovering nicely. Pain in the old Gulliver but doing ok.

Thanks Snerb!😎

he probably shouldn't give any for a while

Nurses do the hard work (My wife is a nurse).

My mother had a triple bypass at 87.   The heart surgeon assured me she would do fine (how is that possible?).

Shortly after she came out of surgery and was "stable" I was allowed into the ICU room. 

I sat with her for several hours.  During that time I watched the nurse constantly reading vitals of all kinds and adjusting medication.
This wasn't a one-time event, it was continuous!!  

While it was the surgeon that performed the triple bypass, it was the nurse who saved my mother's life. 

She lived another five years.  At 87, that's a good investment. 

Nurses are exemplary no doubt.  Most people in the medical profession are in the grinder these days though.  Nurse’s aides through doctors.  Too few and patients too many. We boomers are a large part of the problem.  Way too many of us with medical issues and not dying off fast enough. 

I wasn't sure what I was reading at first, but I'm happy for you if you're still succeeding.

Quick recovery, my Lige.
