Could Use A Little Positive Thinking

[Traci H.]

I have not posted much to this site as you can see, but just needed to talk a little and ask for any spare positive thoughts to be sent this way. We found out two days ago that my father will be undergoing bypass (triple) surgery on Monday. I know this is becoming a routine surgery, but I am still very worried and anxious about it. I am praying and hoping all goes well, but I can't seem to shake my fear or really to put it in perspective. My dad seems to take it all in stride and I guess I will try to also. Thanks for letting me "tell somebody" and if you could, please remember my Dad in your prayers. Thank you.

You will both be in my prayers also. I know so many people now that have ungone this operation and they are up and so much more active now and great change in their lives. One guy I know that never exercised or did anything is so into fitness now and looks so much better, I am sure your Dad will come through with flying colors and he will feel and be so much better you'll see. Take Care.

Traci having a Dad with heart troubles I know how you feel. Just know that every day there are new ways to make surgery easier, and think about how much better he will be when it's all over.
Keep the faith and please let us know how it goes.

Our thoughts go out to you during this tough time. I also have a father with heart troubles so I know where you are coming from. Be strong he needs that from you right now.

Traci, as a nurse I can tell you that bypass surgery is very routine therse days. Recovery is also much shorter than in the past. It's always scary though when a parent has to have something like this done. Reminds us that we are not immortal. Especially a girl's father. You will both be in my prayers. Keep us posted. Any questions, I'd be glad to try to answer.

Traci, sendng positive vibes for your Dad. I am sure everything will turn out fine. I definately understand about the worrying. My Dad has had some heart troubles in the past, about 2 years ago, he had 2 blockages taken care of, they put a stent in and everything was fine. I was really worried about him, and did take the 2 days off from work to be with him while he was in the hospital. They have come a long way with bypass surgery, before you'll know it he will be at home and back to his self.
Keep us updated next week.
