On August 12, 2024, I met with the chair of cardiothoracic surgery with a list of things that needed surgery, 4 to be exact. He said he would like to do surgery in 10 days but due to the complexity he wanted to schedule it for Sep 10th. While I was debating it, he said we could postpone it if I wanted. I asked him if it be like January or Feb 2025? He said no, it would be October and that I wouldn't need surgery in January. I didn't ask him to elaborate on that and we scheduled it for Sep 10th and it turns out I wouldn't be here otherwise. Surgery lasted 14 hours.
