If i'm not online within a week of the surgery happening, it's safe to assume things went bad.

My wife may login to my account and post but I doubt it. She will not be in any shape to care about letting all of you know.
That's the worst-case scenario of course, but assuming you get a donor sooner rather than later I'm not projecting that--but what you wrote is exactly what I meant.

Your wife might not immediately want to reach out to the community, but if she isn't already aware that there are a large number of people here who're rooting for you and care deeply about you and your surgical outcome, might I suggest that you fill her in?  Should the worst come to pass, she might eventually come around and reach out to everyone here.  Reading what I just wrote sounds selfish, but speaking for myself only, I'd like to know what's happening/happened either way.

I think Zepher's family did something similar, and I know Bruno basically let the forum know he was dying.  A'ight, no more morbidity.  You've got age on your side and a lot of years yet to live.  Dr. Leo might correct me if I'm wrong, but age is one of the factors that goes into the heart donor waiting list.

And if this was coming from pretty much any other member than you, I'd be as skeptical as my username implies.  Everyone is free to think what they like, but I believe you and I feel like I'm sitting beside you just waiting for that phone call.
