Thanks for all the good wishes.

For everyone that ask, I have over 80% blackage in my neck
arteries, and they will only do one surgery at a time.

Carotid Endarterectomy procedure I think is like this:

They cut about 5cm in the neck and install a ternporary shunt
(bypass) around the blackage and they then clamp the artery
above and below the blackage. Then they cut the artery open
and remove the plaque and hope no plaque gets to the brain.

If every thing go's well on the 24th I should be home in
1 to 2 days.

Again thanks for all the good wishes,

73 Ralph, K6TSK
