You struck a cord with me when you said the worst part was telling your 79 year old parent's. It was the same for me and I worried about putting them through the experience. Only told them after I had my first meeting with the �team� and had a rough idea what I was in for.
They were shocked when they saw me in ICU the day after surgery. Now 3 years on they are now nearly 81 and 82 and we spend at least every 2nd Sunday together going out to different places for lunch.
Also like your topic name..wish I had found this site earlier.
