Hey all, well i did it yesterday, have to say though it hurt like hell good news is because my HR was 100 and change they gave me something to try to chill me out (my Dr was laughing my HR was fine untill she walked in the room...LOL) i slept all day on whatever they gave me, but it's all done and feels great to not have that constant pain or tube hanging around.

thank you all for the encouragement.
