It is scary, we all know that. I, just like Tyson had the old fashioned surgery, they went through my neck and through my chest so I have the open heart surgery scar..LOL

I was in the hospital for a month, but that was me and that was 19 years ago, they have come a long way since then.

The most pain for me was when I needed to cough and I would hold a folded up sheet or firm pillow against my chest. You will be back on your feet before you know it and to me, I really can't remember the pain, almost like childbirth, when it is over, it's over

I wish you luck and will keep you in my thoughts, please keep us updated.
