Tom, Good fortune about the dehydration! Here's to a speedy recovery! It is absolutely amazing how "routine" these operations have become (speaking as someone who isn't undergoing the procedure). A few friends have had them recently, all without issues.

Severe dehydration, it was thought. Temps were really hot here in the CA Central Valley - the Tuesday before the "event" temp was 108 deg. I felt fine apres golf but on Wednesday I drank only a single bottle of H20, so the following day the reservoir was pretty much empty. Clunk! Out on the 4th green. 3 docs agreed I should see a cardiologist "just to be sure." So 2 weeks ago I endured a visit with a cardio guy, got a ultrasound test, EKG, etc., and was told an angiogram was necessary. Last Wednesday the angiogram showed a defective aortic valve. Oops Surprised smile . So at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow morning I head to the heart center for surgery to replace the valve Crying face . There, that should brighten everyone's day.
