Folks, due to family emergency, nothing today. I expect I’ll be able to post Bill’s submission tomorrow. Depending on results and timing, the rest of the week is touch and go. Much like with John’s father, my father-in-law has urgent, unplanned heart (triple bypass) surgery coming the next day or two. Well wishes/prayers welcome.

    Wish only the best for your father-in-law and as a fellow by-pass patient, I understand only too well. It is a well tolerated surgery and has an extremely high success rate so don’t worry too much.

    Thanks, everybody. Looks like more tests and planning today and surgery tomorrow. He cannot wait to get onto the post-surgery recovery and getting past all this!

    @Alain: Best of luck to your FIL. I can certainly endorse his forward thinking on his upcoming surgery. That’s the best way. I can vouch for that tactic myself, albeit I wasn’t facing triple bypass surgery

    Alain,

    As Cermet says above, this sort of surgery is well-tolerated and has a very high success rate today. Everyone i know who has had it comes out feeling much better in just a few days. So best of luck to your family from the Mountain State!

    @Alain: Hope everything goes well. Fortunately, these surgeries are almost “routine” and patients are in recovery and even doing light walking around fairly quickly.
