Quote from: Welsh on February 23, 2014, 08:11:05 amJust so you all understand, I had interesting feedback of the op recently, a younger colleague of mine had the operation last March, the operation is now routine!!!! But VERY invasive, it will take Gunda a while to recover, pain wise the chest work is apparently less painful than the leg where they take the Arteries from, but mentally it is very challenging, he will need support and meds, the head goes a bit off the scale when the heart is off line and the blood being circulated outside the body by peristatal pumps, it takes the grey matter some time to recalibrate and serious depression is very common post op. So although he will physically be 100% better the head may take a while. It is also the anaesthetics that cause a lot of truama. It took my father about 9 months to recover from deep surgery anaesthetics.

I have just spoken to the sister that is looking after Peter in ICU and she said he is doing well and having breakfast as we were speaking. I will pop in and see him at 4 today and will post an update.
