I was there 3 years ago, and it just plain scared the shit out of me. There's something very unnerving seeing the guy who was always the strongest guy for you growing up strapped to a table like that.
That said, the surgery is extremely common these days, and success rates are very, very high. Try not to worry too much, though I know it's far easier said than done. I'll mention that the recovery takes a long time, but my dad has WAY more energy today than he did the 10 years prior to his surgery. Obviously you don't want to have to go through that, but he's just a happier guy these days in general. Anyway, apologies for the ramble. You're in my thoughts. |

That said, a phone call just prior is probably in order, and a lot of beer (or intoxicant of your choice) may help you get through the next few hours after. |

I'm going to sit tight. My Brother isn't going either and he is a lot closer than I am. It's tough but I think he wants me taking care of my pregnant wife who goes to the doctor tomorrow.
