I'm getting ready for quintuple coronary bypass surgery this morning so I will be out for maybe a couple weeks or more. Meanwhile, Emiliano is running the show. He's a very capable guy and we're fortunate to have him as a moderator.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. The surgeons who do bypass operations are magicians. If you follow the rehab regime after the procedure you will be stronger then ever.

Has anyone heard how Bill is doing post surgery? Quintuple bypass is a truly major event in someone's life......even a single bypass is indeed! Hope if Emiliano or someone else gets news they will pass it along........provided of course that Bill is okay with them doing so. Prayers and well wishes Bill!!!

Hopefully, after the first couple of days, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that your end of things isn't as bad as you expect. You may not want to do push-ups for a while, but I bet you'll be anxious to be back on here giving us an update real soon. Best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery.

Good to hear your brain is back to working at least well enough to type a lucid message.

4 instead of 5--does that mean the doc charges 20% less?

I'm sure that he has a way around that. I'm still weak as a kitten so I can't type music.

Glad to hear your back. When my Dad had it done all he complained about was the pain in his leg where they took an artery out. Apparently that hurt worse than the chest scars.
