'We'll see you back soon, remember though, no pictures -- didn't happen '
Uh, I for one think I'd be willing to take your word for it!
As others have said, these things aren't nearly as complicated as they used to be, I'm sure you'll be fine.
If you get the right one, tell the nurse you can't hear her, that way she'll have to bend over the bed....
Best of luck, take advantage of the rest, read a good book.You don't need a parachute to skydive, you only need a parachute to skydive twice.Comment

Thoughts and Prayers are with. Where is your's located. I have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. They found it almost 4 years ago during a MRI. The check it every 6 months and so far it hasn't grown. When it get to 5cm/mm (not up on Metric) they will fix it. Good luck and keep us posted. I have to admit it is scary walking aroung with my little friend, but life goes on.
God Bless

As others have said, heart surgery has come a long way in the last couple decades. I know several folks that had bypass surgery; for them the "big deals" in the recovery process were:
a) a couple days of mild soreness under the rib cage where one blood vessel had been harvested to become the graft.
b) waiting 6 weeks before being allowed to drive again. (doctors want your sternum to heal before you risk getting in an accident and smacking it onto the steering wheel)
Nothing about the heart itself, nor the incision, were a big deal in their recoveries.
One of my co-workers just had a heart transplant. He was home just over one week later. Seriously. A guy in his mid to late 50s. The day after surgery he was walking around the hospital, chatting and joking on the phone. The "go home" date was set more by how long it took to fine-tune the anti-rejection drugs than anything to do with recovering from the actual surgery.
Good luck with your surgery.
