Simple Gifts I know what you mean, they had me scheduled as an outpatient and then after surgery I was transfered to ICU and then a short stent in CCU and then a regular room on the heart floor before I left. They have no clue that it is painful for some of us and a lot probably depends on who's doing it and how much they have to remove as well. Today is day 5 post-op and I still can't get food to go down right. But I keep working at it. Angel
