Surgery Tomorrow. Rise and Shine

[Johnpb]

Valve replacement (tissue) - via a Bentall procedure - and VSD repair, tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. First time at this, and in all likelihood my last. I can't begin to describe the stress I feel, because it's overwhelming in nature. It's like a part of me, like a glacier, like something that has taken over the essence of my being. That sounds dramatic, I know, but it's true. I want relief, and the only way now for relief to come is to submit to the doctors and nurses who'll work on me, fighting against the enemy that sooner or later we all have to face. I hope they win...

I'll report back when I can...

fingers crossed for a smooth operation an an uneventful recovery

keep chanting the litany I say

the only thing to fear is fear itself, turn off the "catastrophisation" gland and remember:

Best Wishes

Best of luck tomorrow!

Please keep us posted on how your recovery is coming along, when you feel up to it.

We'll see you on the other side!

Good luck today. I think we all can share your feelings. I look forward to your post maybe later today or tomorrow.

The best to you for today’s surgery.
And onwards to a good and steady recovery.

I'll report back when I can...

Will be looking out for your updates.

It may be hard to believe now, but you will pass through this experience and come out the other side, and eventually you will be looking at it in the proverbial rear-view mirror. Best wishes for a smooth journey.
