Thoughts

Thoughts will be with him. Had a quadruple in 1998. Waited 3 months for it. Went in on Thursday afternoon and they kicked me out of hospital on Sunday.

Tell your brother to cought hard (prevent pneumonia) and do the physical therapy with breathing as much as he can. Little pain at first but ignore it and concentrate on doing what the therapy people say. He'll be out in a few days and back home.

Tell the truth, mine was done ' off machine ' that means no breathing help or blood re-route. Guess I was pretty strong. They just cut in, took out the heart and fixed the 4 veins and put the heart back in. Glad they didn't let me watch.
