Remember that from "Charlotte's Web" when you were a kid? How I loved reading about Charlotte's ingenuity and creativity! Even though I loathed spiders back then ... those creepy, crawly multi-legged insects (shivering just thinking about them!) I adored Charlotte and her tenacity and loyalty to her friend, Wilbur the little pig who did not want to spend time at the butcher's ... EVER!
What a lovely children's story it is :) I'm thinking happy thoughts tonight because it beats the alternative ... haha! Will I sleep this evening? I highly doubt it ... but perhaps I'll sleep tomorrow with loads of anesthesia in my system. Before it gets too late, I need to call an old friend ...
So, they'll be stopping my heart and sewing new arteries/veins onto my aorta and coronary arteries to make blood flow possible within the myocardium tomorrow. Surgeon estimates it will take approximately 2 hours to bypass four vessels ... he HAS to be pretty much an expert. This is Dr. Geoffry Lynn ... he's the Medical Director here at Bethesda Heart Institute. I'm putting a link here so anyone can peruse the Bethesda site ... it's an absolutely beautiful facility that is only 3 years old. This is a not-for-profit facility, Bethesda Memorial Hospital.
Peace, Love, & Blessings All ~
