I hope it goes well. I can only speak for myself in matters like this.

I sort of think it was like going down a sliding board sitting on wax
paper. AKA FAST. Chest pain-->Hospital-->-->Transfer to special
hospital--> angioplasty-->Bypass. Almost like in a dream state. I was
ignorant going in and still have traces of dementia ;)).
You have too much knowledge of these matters and hence know of
potential outcomes. I¹d suggest you come out healthy and stronger than
ever!
