I posted on Connect a "little" story about my open heart surgery journey at Mayo Clinic.
I don't know if you read it... if even ONE thing helps you then I am happy. Here is a link to that:

@karukgirl yes I did read it. It was very interesting. You’re right, it is coming up fast. On top of my heart problems, I have hip and lower back pain, sometimes very severe. I’m told from a spine surgeon that I need lower back fusion surgery and I also need arthroscopic surgery on both hips to repair tears. I could hardly walk yesterday, my right hip was hurting so bad. I’m sure all of this is going to make my recuperation very difficult.
