Tomorrow morning will be IT - open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve and double/triple bypass.
I have been assured that I will "go to sleep" and "wake up" after its all done with no memory of the surgery. Might be better to have no memory of what happens, and not know what the surgeons actually say about the patient.
Had blood (four vials) and urine tested, chest x-rays (back and side), filled out paperwork for admission - just need to sign in at 5:15A.M. tomorrow morning.
I will be made to sleep at 7:00A.M., and should be done by 1:00P.M. or 1:30P.M. Then I will be drifting in and out of consciousness the rest of the day and fully awake Wednesday.
Probably will be in Intensive Care for one or two days, followed by intermediate care for five to eight days, and then home for three to six weeks of recovery.
Talked with the anesthesiologist who answered questions.
Daughter Diana will send out an email after I come out of surgery.
About Me - My Toastmaster Profile
- Michael Jue, DTM
- Los Angeles, CA, United States
- I am a slow learner, having joined Toastmasters with the intent to be a member for one year to practice the skills that I had learned in Speechcraft. Speechcraft is a four to eight session workshop designed to teach non-Toastmasters communication skills, and incidentally to bring in new members to the sponsoring Toastmasters club. I joined Northrop Grumman Toastmasters Club 212 that had sponsored an eight-session Speechcraft. That was in November of 1978. What I learned was that my membership in Toastmasters has provided me with the opportunity to learn things that I would never learned on my job or in my personal life. Likewise, I have had the opportunity to meet people and to do things that I would not have had on my job or in my life. Most of all, I learned about myself and how I am with different people in different situations. This has been one tremendous ride so far, and I invite you to join us!
