I don't know the answer, but unless it's an emergency, I would imagine a few days, at least.

I love your tagline...
Cute story. My 5th grader was trying to make an invention for a science project. He was looking things up about 'stopping a skunk from smelling.' His 7 year old brother thought about it for a second, and said...'just hold his nose.'

"Any FReepers with cardio experience. How long do you have to be off blood thinners or beta blockers prior to this type of surgery...that could maybe explain the delay." Probably not an issue.....
Thorascopic decortication is a minimally invasive procedure....A lot of blood loss would be unusual.

I have been on coumadin. They had me stop 24-48 hours before peforming any proceedures. Even ones that have low risk of blood loss.
