I survived the surgery . What a rough couple weeks. I was having atrial fibulation after the surgery and spent ten days in the hospital. They had to zap my heart to make it go back into rhythm . I was god awful sore where they opened me up.  kinda weak too .looking forward to moving around a bit more and getting back to normal

   The surgery has been scheduled . It will be the 14th I have to be at the hospital at 5Am ! probably a week in the hospital before I can come home and then a 12 week recovery period .
