Charles,
That's serious and painful surgery, I won't kid you about that. They sawed me open and they told me that my heart was stopped for about an hour while they monkeyed around with my arteries. That was nine years ago almost to the day. (A few months before the first Early Television Convention, I remember!) I was only 48 with no clear indications of trouble other than no longer being able to walk briskly around the block without having to stop and rest. It was more than a few weeks of recovery before I was lugging TVs around again, but I've been happily lugging them ever since. I sincerely wish you didn't need to have this done, but if you have to have exotic surgery, these are good times to be living in; they've gotten very good at this sort of thing.
You're welcome to PM me about this f you'd like.
