said it wasn't really that bad. The second surgeon I was sent to by a neurosurgeon said it was about 75%. His office forgot to schedule the surgery until my cardiologist called them "asking why I had not had the surgery done". The surgeon freaked out and called me with the details at 8:30 this morning.

I had told my cardiologist that since I am going to have to have it done sometime, I would rather it be when I am 71 than 81.
