That's awesome news. I'm glad he's okay.

Late to the party wish you a speedy recovery red!

How Addressing Nutrition Pre- and Post-Op Can Have a Long-Lasting Impact on Surgical Patients

Take care of yourself food-wise to speed recovery. Take care Dude!

TheRedneck, Very happy to hear all went well, and wishing you the best during your recovery!

Another Update.

Our Redneck is doin' OK today, very very tired, as one might expect. They had him up and walking around his room a little bit this morning...and that just about exhausted his reserves for the day...

He was zoning out on me as we spoke on the phone just a little bit ago, pretty sure he's already asleep.

But I think he's going to be OK.

A testament to him and his medical team.

Amen. The hospital he's at is one of the worlds best heart hospitals.

Whoo Hoo! So glad to hear it went well!

The man has an amazing constitution. I think he's going to be truly dangerous in a few weeks. God bless ya Redneck, and keep you safe.

Let him know that in the next few days he may experience a nightmare or two.

Completely normal, the nursing staff will reassure him.

Just the sub-conscious mind’s way of dealing with the trauma. Even under anesthesia, the body “talks” to the mind.

There are “twilight” periods just before full anesthesia takes effect and just before full consciousness returns that are, at least partially remembered, and can “leak” into our dreams in disturbing ways.

Two or three days after my surgery, I had a dream that I was trapped by a 6 ft green frog (surgeon), who looked like my best friend, but whose hands would electrocute people (paddles used stop the heart for surgery) that tried to pull my tongue out (extubation following surgery).

It wasn’t until several days later that I was able to connect the bizarre images to the events that caused them.

As a resident internet expert on everything medical, I would prescribe a mustard poultice and 3 double shots of whiskey.


No dancing for 3 weeks though.

SCIENCE!


(Glad you're better and recovering old son!)

Without wishing to cast doubt on your internet expertise, wouldn't a hot chilli pepper be a necessary ingredient for the poultice? Some people tend to move quicker when the chilli is hot. So I've heard.

I'm glad you asked, since it is important.

It all depends on if Mr. Redneck was sewn up by a right-handed doctor or a left-handed doctor.

Absolutely superb news! Pass on my regards, if you wouldn't mind?

Also, thanks for the update!

YAY!!

Good to hear the surgery is a success. Sorry for the discomfort and pain you are now dealing with. Follow Doc's orders and get yourself all healed up and back to posting.

Excellent to hear the surgery went well.

Oh boy...this the first I heard of Redneck's condition.

I'm glad to read that he pulled through and I hope he recovers quickly.

Send him my best

Peace

Prayer works....

Thank you so much for bringing this to us.

TheRedneck has been such a staple in this community since before many of us ever came along; I personally have learned so much from him.

Best wishes to him and his family and I look forward to much more from him in the years to come.
