Our prayers are with you man! Take care of yourself and definitely go through with the cardiac rehab after the operation.
Your heart is sorta like the "God Nut" that holds the rotors on the Huey. VERY important!

Now that brought back a few memories.. tho we called it the Jesus nut. I have a buddy that saw one come off a Cobra while on a gun run, at least that's how he described it to me.. he was a grunt watching them work out after they had contact. Thanks guys for the responses.

Surgery is always a scary thing. Like others have said, open heart surgery has come a long way and is a daily practice now. Im sure you will be feeling better before you know it. If you were closer Id be happy to help with your car. Maybe some locals can step in. Happy memorial day Ghoastrider. Thank you for your service!

Good luck on the surgery. My grandfather and father in law both had that done and did great afterwards.
