maddmaxx Posted February 14, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2020 I'm hoping for the best results. Keep us advised as often as the migration allows. Take care of yourself as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted February 14, 2020 I just saw him and had a final planning session with the surgeon. The man is cocky as all get out but I really trust him. He thinks out loud and told us of the three options he considered and why he selected the one he did. They are going to try to get in there between two ribs that are minimally wired. This will avoid having to cut him open down the front. That is still plan b. It should take around 7 hours but maybe less. A slow surgeon is a careful surgeon. 32 minutes ago, maddmaxx said: I'm hoping for the best results. Keep us advised as often as the migration allows.

Tizeye Posted February 14, 2020 Share #11 Posted February 14, 2020 "When you see a coffee card, turn down" What...no coffee! What type of masochistic institution is this having you run that gauntlet with coffee carts coming at you. Hope that brought you a smile and best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted February 14, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 14, 2020 I'm not a prayer, but I wish you peace and kindness today. The cocky surgeon is a good thing. He's in good hands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 14, 2020 Share #14 Posted February 14, 2020 Sending good vibes and prayers to you both. I like a confident surgeon but he sounds like he's also good at taking the time to explain things to you. I think the hospital needs to do a bit of rebranding though. Basement Waiting Room sounds a little dismal. They should consider finding a different name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were talking about how basement like it was when walking down the hall. Now I am up a floor in the fancy family waiting room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn Posted February 14, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 14, 2020 I hope you brought your charger or at least a power bank. I’ve come close to running out of power while waiting in surgical waiting rooms. Praying for Mr. A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted February 14, 2020 Share #20 Posted February 14, 2020 They should throw some bookcases in the basement room and call it the "Reading Room" or "Library" - it just sounds better. One hospital waiting room in NYC that I recall had a small window overlooking the entrance to the hospital, and they called it the "courtyard room" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
