Master of Puppets is a great song to listen to at work. I feel like [expletive] some [expletive] up now.

My dad had the same surgery two weeks ago. No problems at all, until the pneumonia set in. He's home now, but it was touch and go for a couple days there.
Father in law just had valve replacement recently. Was in generally good health otherwise. Boy, he did not respond well mentally after the surgery.

A friend of our's is also having it done this week.

Hubby's sister had it done several years ago. It's not something you bounce back from the next day but she's fine now; lost weight and stopped smoking.

Sorry to hear.

My dad passed away January 21st of this year due to heart failure. It's been tough.

Do you mind if I ask how so? My dad is so stubborn he thinks he's going to be planting corn in two weeks and I told him I'd have the sheriff come get him if he does.

It's funny. F-i-L is very stubborn as well but the surgery and recovery seemed to freak him out. Think he got depressed and really didn't do his PT like he needed to. Taking way longer than it should to get back to normal.

Very sorry to hear, FB.

All the same post-surgery symptoms. They had to crack the chest to check for a potential aneurysm, so he's incredibly annoyed with not driving or lifting 10lbs+, so he's sulking and not doing as told. Plus, it's like he got 10 years more senile, though I've been told that will pass.

Sorry about your loss, Bulldog.
