As you might know, having heart suegury involves cracking open one's chest. When dome, the Drs wire the pices together. Welll seems like some of mine have come loose, so now a plate and screws have to be installed. Not supposed to be a big deal operation, but I am getting a bit tired of hospitals. No schedule yet, but I want to wish all my friends on Parrot Forums a Happy Holiday and new year, just in case.

So sorry to hear you must endure yet another surgery. My dad had the same thing happen to him after valve replacement surgery. He said it felt like his bones were rubbing back and forth along his incision every time he moved his arms.

He did well, and I wish you a smooth procedure. And Happy Holidays to you, too!

Of course I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery.

My mother had a titanium plate in her wrist. It broke/snapped and broke some bones in her wrist as a bonus. How a titanium plate could do that is quite beyond me.

Al, I'm so sorry to hear about another surgery and more time in a hospital. I hope the procedure goes perfectly and you recover quickly and completely. Thanks for the holiday wishes. Happy holidays to you and yours, wishing you a wonderful new year.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Oh no! Sounds like a relatively quick surgery, not tinkering with the heart or vessel structures. Hope it goes quickly and well!

Happy Holidays, Al, and Happy New Year. Look forward to hearing from you when able!

So you have been living up to the nickname eh? Wrenching stuff loose I mean ;)


Just make sure they put in something gold-plated, to match your heart-of-gold.

The dangers of being a wonderful patient is that they want you back to brighten up their day. Hmmm, I guess that Strong Man Contest was a step too far. May want to cut that out of the line-up in the New Year!
A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year my friend -- prays your way!

I'm so sorry you have to go back in, but hopefully your stay this time will be a short one and you will be back home in no time at all.
