Fred,

Wishing you well. Sounds like all is on track. Hope all goes smooth with a quiet recovery.

It ain't near as bad as we think going in.

Fred,

Glad that you have the date set! Congratulations!

Good luck and thoughts/prayers coming your way....


BTW, I see that you are in McKees Rocks PA. That is near Pittsburgh, correct? If I remember that town name correctly, one of my Monte Carlo buddies lives in that town, actually ... and I know a bunch more in the greater Pittsburgh area. Also, another VR.com member, Christian, whose wife is the patient, lives in Pittsburgh ... met up with them last August. And, my Dad is from the greater Johnstown/Holsopple area.

Keep this in mind. YOU WILL BE FINE. It's a weird time, but these people really know their stuff and they'll have you in and out in no time and I'll send some smooth vibes your way, angels on wings, prayers coming at you. Good luck my man!

Hi Fred,

As a recent member of CCF '06, I can tell you to be prepared to be treated like you are the only patient there! (I think they said they have 35 OR's going at the same time!) I had such a great experience there from pre-op testing right to discharge. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Try to get a private room if you can. Rest assured, they will fix you up better than new. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Fred,

Good to hear you got a date so soon. All the best for a smooth recovery.

Cheers,

Chris
