You are, as many have said, through the toughest part for most of us, the waiting.
I want to add my words of encouragement. After all is said and done you will be fine, this surgery is one life saving event. The surgical team is well prepared and very serious and highly skilled. You are in great hands and they will be giving you the finest treatment you could find anywhere.
This group at vr.com sends powerful energy from "the force" to all its members begining the climb up this mountain. They got me over the top and down the other side with great humor and love. I was a basket case and bundle of nerves. But, on the day of the surgery I woke up calm and resigned, Walter had told me I would and he was right.
My very best thoughts go out to you and yours for this coming tense time.
Please remind your family to take good care of each other. The stress is probably worse on family and those close to us, they don't have the skilled docs and nurses taking care of them 24/7 and they feel helpless besides. Tell them not to be overwhelmed by what you look like in ICU and shortly after, the tubes and monitors, etc are scary(glad I didn't have to see me at that time) but things do look worse than they are.
Warmest wishes
