It's surgery
I just found out today that I will have to undergo a bypass operation likely this week. I have to see the heart surgeon tomorrow and will learn the details then.
This wasn't how I hoped it would go, but I do have one of the best heart surgeons in the area, so that's something.

RE: It's surgery
Thanks everyone.
The surgery is set for 7:45 a.m. (central time) Friday.
I got back from seeing the surgeon this morning, and although I'm still not in the best frame of mind, he did allay my fears on several points. I personally trust him and believe he has the expertise to guide me through the surgery very well. I have my age and generally good health (my A1C is now 6.6. At one point is was over 11...yay me!) as benefits, but it's still going to be a long road ahead.
I'm trying to figure out a way for a conduit to get information here. I'll come up with something before Friday.
Again, thanks everyone for your kind words of support. They mean the world to me.
Best
