I forgot about the special soap.
I had the chest x-ray too. Ooops blame it on the pump.
I talked to the anesthesiologist for about 15 minutes. He was very cool.
For me the strangest part was seeing all the other people there for their pre-op meeting and knowing they were having surgery the next day too. Also, they kept looking at me like I was from the moon, they were all much older than me, and most there for by-pass. I get those looks a lot at the cardio's office. I guess folks never think of younger people having heart troubles.
Now I have my scar to show them!
