Naomi Gray That's great, Alan! How are you doing? Is it alright to put a seat belt on already? Take care.

Alan Jamieson Naomi - I didn't get any guidance other than to not sit in the front seat. I was wearing an incision shield, so that helped with discomfort, but we hit a few pot holes (ahh, DC streets) and let me tell you - those did not feel good.

Recovery is going well, with a few downs, along with many ups.

Kevin Bradley Awesome news, Alan, you beat me I was sent home in 4 days. Keep up the great work man!

Always treat your care team at the end of your stay! They work unbelievably hard, and so some delicious cookies are our go to to get the fabulous nurses, techs, nurse practitioners and affliliated staff.

Mike Roskowinski Nice Alan! Good Idea I will make sure that my wife does something for everyone on my recovery team! Wish there is a way I could do something for the staff that is in the OR with me.

Diane Esposito Great idea, Alan, I wish I had thought of it before I was discharged.

Alan Jamieson Mike - check with your care nurse when you get there, there may be a way to do that.

Civita Fahey Yes, I got them pastries and cookies and they thoroughly appreciated the gesture. They an amazing job.. they don't expect as it is "their job" but they are wonderful and it should be noted.

One week left. Feeling a little anxious, but not too much. I give a lot of credit to this community and the great success stories that y'all have. Went ahead and took care of my beard and, while I was at it, shaved my head to make it easier post-op.

Alan Jamieson That all being said, I'm really sad about not having my facial hair.

Peter Eglinton Folks on this website consistently say "You got this!" Heading into my own surgery on Monday, I can't yet speak from experience -- but it certainly looks like from all the posts that we can handle it. :-) Best wishes to you!

Susan Lynn Love the picture, Alan! The hair will grow back and you'll enjoy the low maintenance.
I know you and Peter will be just fine next week! All good things ahead!!

Joey Hardee :-)) NICE!! Way to go, Alan. Got your game face on already!!!

Rob Sparling 👍

Adam Pick You're going to do great Alan! Nice shave! 👍 👍 👍

Naomi Gray You reminded that I should plan to get my hair cut and color done next week. My surgery is in 2 weeks. Love your pic!

Alan Jamieson Thanks all, and especially to those that are headed toward surgery! Naomi - yup, get your hair done, but maybe stop short of where I ended up! :)

Alan Jamieson Best wishes to Naomi and Peter as they're ramping up their prep! See you on the recovery side soon!

Alan Jamieson And Adam - thanks for making one heck of a site for us.

Diane Esposito Alan an Naomi, I am only 1 day post surgery and have been up and walking around the hospital hallways. It was so much easier than I expected! Yes, my chest and upper back hurt but the pain meds handle it nicely. Tomorrow the chest tubes come out! And I’m being moved to the regular ward room from the CICU.

Susan Lynn Diane Esposito - It's great to hear from you! Glad you're up and around! Looking forward to reading about your experience and thrilled you are on the mend! Welcome to recovery!
