I made it guys. I will be in ICU for 2 days then 5 in regular,. I only needed 3 bypasses, not 5. 22 hours and they have me sitting in a chair for 2 hours or more. I am still wired up.
Thanks for all your support in the other thread.

I had the same intense feelings of gratitude after I woke up the second day.
