Default zero mortality?

That's very interesting what is the surgeons name? How long has he been in practice and how many a year does he do?

As far as the confidence in his surgeon - 100% I'm happy to say. He is one of the top guys in the state and has a 0% mortality rate. Which in my opinon is pretty darn good... And each time we meet with him, I feel more confident.

I know the hardest thing will be watching my husband be wheeled away. Yeah...I don't think I'll do too well with that. Now...if only the doc would let me watch.....

Anyway...thanks to all for your support. I will keep you all posted on progress.
