We travelled over to Shands in Gainesville and met with Dr. Martin. I've got to say he was so easy to talk to and really put us at ease. He drew pictures which is always a good thing with me
He first asked what my symptoms were then, when I was done he told me based on the echo he rec'd from my cardio that I was *critical* being at 0.8. Thank heavens I listened to my gut and you guys and not my cardio (who wanted to wait 3 more months for another echo) and went on to talk with him!!
Surgery will be right after T-giving, he said 6 months would be far too long and summer was an absolute NO (I work for the schools). So, this gives me my winter vacation to recoup and just about 4 weeks of work time off.
He gave us the choice of tissue or mechanical......ugh.....right now we are leaning mechanical, I guess, (I'll be 47 in a few weeks).
So, thank you all for your insight and understanding!!!
