Devastated by support group meeting: I'm doing everything wrong

@fritzo - hey…I’ll be zonked out in the heart cath lab while you’re getting your prostate removed. Maybe we’ll meet up in dreamland and compare surgery notes.
Good luck on Tuesday, and I’m looking forward to your posts once you’re over the fence with this thing. Honestly, once I knew it was surgery for me, I couldn’t get it done fast enough. I hate waiting.
Good luck!

Good luck in the cath lab. I had an angiogram in Nov 2005 due to a questionable stress echocardiogram. I was concerned afterwards about my plug in the groin where they sent the scope up the arteries. The doc had me in and out of consciousness as needed. He asked during it if I wanted to watch on the screen and I said no thanks. Fortunately I turned out only 50% blocked and needed no stents. I remember at the end before he made a comment before I was going back out under sedation that I would either wake up with a stent, wake up awaiting the surgeon to do a bypass in the immediate near future and be sent home or ready to go home. It turned out I got lucky door number three to go home, nothing further.

@turtbean Holy smokes... that's pretty wild. Thinking they'll be giving me some crazy pain meds Tuesday...so hoping I might have some tripadelic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds: moments .
Yes, let's get through Tuesday and be done with it-I'm ready to be done with this phase (but not looking forward to recovery, but time for big boy pants (so to speak).
Good luck and keep us posted too!
