Angio was a breeze as predicted, nice dinner out with the family. Got pretty good sleep the night before. Surgery went well. the ICU was more challenging than I liked but less than I feadre. Nothing was beyond my ability to cope. Many ups and downs. Steady help of Beth, the woman in my life. The ICU staff chattered "boy does she keep him grounded!" I had the BENTALL Procedure. I would not do anything different that I can think of.Well, maybe keep n with the narcotics thru day 4 or 5 and maybe tae some home. The ups and downs are amazing.
