I'm on it, Wylo. My dad went through that in 92. Be prepared; first time when you see him in the open heart post op CCU, he is going to look rough. He will probably be pale and sweaty and look like he is knocking on heavens door. It will tear you up, and there is no way around it. A nurse gave me this heads up, and knowing ahead of time helped me, so I am just passing it on to you here. Before you all go in there, prepare your family.

THIS!!! Cannot say enough or any better. Seeing my father, in the cardiac intensive care unit after his bypass surgery shook me to my core. At age 19, that was when the aura of invincibility that my father always had was shattered. Pre-surgery he had told me that if he didn't make it, he wanted to make sure I could / would take care of my mom and my sister. That shook me but nothing like seeing him post-op.

Prepare yourself and the family. Just my opinion, if you have young kids, don't take them in to see that, wait a day or two. I will say a prayer for you guys!

My dad is having triple bypass heart surgery at 1pm at Vanderbilt. I'd appreciate it

I'm just getting on here, Wylo. Sure hope everything is going well for your Dad and continues to do so. My continued prayers for him, you, and the entire family. Asking the good Lord for the best future possible for you all, my friend...

My dad had triple bypass at Vandy 3 years ago. Did fine at 75 years old.
Sadly, we found out last Sunday he has rare leukemia and I'm currently with him at his house and hospice. At 78 now, he's been a Vol fan all his life.
Prayers for your father.

...and prayers for you and your Dad, as well, Mustng. May God bless, my friend.
