Surgery Sceduled for 11th December

[Bad Mad]

Apologies for not posting sooner, but between the holiday to Florida and work I haven't had the chance. (I'll post all about the hol on small talk asap )
It was amazing

Things have moved along pretty fast with the documentary and surgery.
I go in on Monday the 10th with surgery first thing on the morning of the 11th.

If it is a Valve replacement with the ascending aorta (only) my surgeon will use an ATS.
If it is the valve and the aorta en-block (bentalls) then he will use a St.Jude's
conduit. After extensive debate, I have agreed with, and fully supportt hese choices.

Surprisingly, I am pretty relaxed about it at the minute. I suppose I have finally accepted that it is pretty much out of my hands at this stage, and can only hope and pray that all goes well!!

I have to shoot here, but hopefully will get the chance to post some more details about the documentary etc.

Take care

Kevin

It is nice to see you post and I'm glad you had a nice holiday in Florida. It seems you are well on track and comfortable with your game plan. I'm ever so glad you had the time to research your options and are heading into surgery an informed participant. Enjoy your days before surgery and stay away from those with sniffles and flu....you sure don't need that!

"Relaxed" is good. Sometimes just knowing when it's going to happen can be a great relief. We're all hoping things go very well for your surgery. Take care and post again when you can.

Good Luck Kevin, though it will be close to the holidays. The New Year will bring you new beginnings and better health.

Kevin, 11 (Dec.) sounds like a good number! I had a Bentall's Procedure and am doing fine. Confident you will do well too. Sounds like you have done your homework. Know the waiting is difficult but just try to relax as best you can. You should be a new man by the New Year -- well into recovery.

All best wishes,

Yes, you are ready! The next 10 days will fly, eat well and rest.

It'll be here before you know it. Take it easy. Wishing you the best.
