I think you should wish them luck - he'll be the one doing the
surgery!

I hope he doesn't need luck. I would prefer skill.

Have you asked if you can take photos for the wiki?

Interesting thought, although I don't expect to know much about the day of
the operation, nor the one following. I've had some of the medications
before. Would a 20 minute video of a failed attempt to remove my gall
bladder by keyhole surgery do instead? What I find interesting is that I was
in hospital for six weeks after the gall bladder removal (the keyhole became
a 14" opening) but I should be out in 5-10 days after open heart surgery.
