We were going to chip in for a present but no one showed up at church Sunday.
They do that around collection time ,but never miss spaghetti nights on Wednesdays .

My opinion, 2 biggest risks in surgery are post-op infections and anesthetic OD or reaction. Both can be serious.
Get a good Doc with a good track record and independent reviews, and pray they weren't partying hard and late the night before the fact.
I've frequently told folks that surgery is a controlled stabbing of sorts, even arthroscopic, and the body often takes a dim view of being stabbed.
I was once given the option of being knocked out for a procedure, versus being awake but numb. I told the Doc with a twinkle in my eye that he'd best knock me out, as my autonomic reflex when most folks approached me with a blade was to shoot them.
Please ,no

I'm moderately allergic to latex, and when they had me on death's door with the abdominal post-op infections... 7 of them... they had a latex catheter in me. Among other tubes exiting my body.
Close to a month of blood and debris in the effluent from that latex catheter, and bladder/abdominal pain resulting from that.
My urologist (from his own clinic), accessed the hospital one night and told me, "I went all ninja for you, and scarfed this (silicone catheter) from the inventory storage closet."
I laughed at how human that guy was. A beautiful person, one among a few.

My first surgery happened to me when I was one day old.
They gave me the surgery they give boys at that age.
After that I didn't walk for over 11 months.
Feel short changed so to speak.

I didn't know whether to give that a 'wow' emoji or a 'laugh'.
Were there many walking before 12-months back then?

We let both our sons keep theirs intact. I figured that if anyone was going to engage in genital mutilation on them, it ought not be us giving the green light. Might violate that whole trust thing right outa' the gate.

Cried a lot as well.........aint right I tell ya.
My brother in-law had this same Mitral valve fix last year - at the same hospital - he's almost 80 - and all healed up and relatively well - says he doesn't have any problems with his heart now - so maybe I should request the surgeon he had - to perform the surgery on me? - if that's at all possible -
I don't think that they would allow guns in the operating theatre here - so they have nothing to fear from me - and yeah - I'd rather be knocked out when they open me up too -
- Mind you - it would be rather novel and macabre to see your own heart
beating as they are working on it -I thought I was the only one.

I'd recommend hiring a PI for a week or 2 before the procedure and finding out how often the Doc buys alcohol or visits the pub. That'd be the final Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval moment.. or not.My brother in-law had this same Mitral valve fix last year - at the same hospital - he's almost 80 - and all healed up and relatively well - says he doesn't have any problems with his heart now - so maybe I should request the surgeon he had - to perform the surgery on me? - if that's at all possible -

The morning of my ill-fated, botched radical prostatectomy with the DaVinci system, my surgeon showed up at about 5:30 in the AM in the prep room with darker circles around his eyes (not just under) than I'd ever seen anyone wearing as make-up at a Goth party. No shit.
