One week to surgery! Yesterday I looked at the DVD - "Your Home Guide to Recovering from Heart Surgery" from the Heart Center at Lancaster General. Here are the categories:
1- Activity Guidelines
2 - Special Concerns
3 - Developing a Basic Routine
4 - Skills Section
5 - Completing Your Recovery
6 - Beyond Your Immediate Recovery
The video was well done and gave an honest & clear look at the next few weeks. I will go into more detail in later posts.
To me there are three main facets to this type of event in ones live:
1 - The Physical Side
2 - The Mental Side
3 - The Spiritual Side
I will try to continue to focus on all three and honestly discuss. Please feel free to comment on my assertions over the next few weeks. And once again thanks for all the positive thoughts & prayers! I really can FEEL the support and this entire process is easier to tackle with the help of friends & family!
Jim - the gifted educator in you shines through in each of your posts, which are enlightening and engaging, especially considering the anxiety you're no doubt enduring in lead-up to Monday's surgery. We're praying and thinking about you often.

PS: Like the previous beer comment.
Thanks for the comments! It truly has been an educational experience! Sometime the experience is one you read about other people, and sometimes you are right in the middle of it! Your prayers are much appreciated!
