Well, I've been scheduled for a "right heart cath" on Friday, July 11th --- it's scheduled for 5:00 pm which means I will be spending the night at the hospital & hopefully be sprung next day if all goes well.

In the meantime, I have been in contact w/Cleveland Heart Institute & they have sent me a list of the 3-surgeons that specialize in high-risk re-op surgeries. They are Dr. Lytle, Pettersson, & Sabik. They advised me that they will be waiting to hear from me after my cardio does the cath & reviews the findings.

I have done a lot of thinking & I came to the conclusion that at 57 yrs old & the fact that I am very much in control of most of my senses, I am not ready to give in & wait to die. :mad:

If I'm gonna die from this, then so be it, but I'm NOT going down without a fight!
So here we go...............

I'll keep you posted! :)
 
Norma,

If you end up at the CC, I will come and give you support. Never give up while there is a choice to be made and always choose life. I am praying that things go well, they can see what needs to be done, and it is doable.

Best wishes for an easy cath.

Yup, Norma-

I've heard those exact words before coming from Joe, many times. It's the only thing that makes sense. If he were here and in the room with you, he'd give you a big hug and tell you to go for it!

You have done some excellent footwork with CC.

Kick ass Norma:D?..I am so much in your corner?..you will be the one left standing in this battle!!!!!.........Godspeed:) ((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))
 
Norma, my thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday. I'm so glad to hear your excellent attitude. You can do this and come out better than ever!!
 
I will be thinking of you on friday. If positive attitude alone can win this fight than you beat it already. I will watch for your posts and send good thoughts your way.
 
I will be thinking of you on Friday. I like your attitude. It is so like my husbands also.
 
I'll be waiting for the results from the cath. I love your attitude, but I hope you can buy some more time before needing another surgery.
 
You go girl!!!!!! I had a feeling that you'd take the needed time to have a little pity party and then grab the bull by the horns. You remain in my prayers!
 
Norma....... You have the best attitude; that of a winner! You won't settle for less than total success and that is what we all wish for you.

We are all here rooting for you!!
 
Keep fighting the good fight- prayers that all will go well, and it sounds like you have the best attitude for things to come. I will be watching for updates, as others have mentioned.
