Dad is finally getting released from the LTC hospital today & is doing much better. He has lost about 40 pounds but is still fighting the venous stasis ulcers on his lower leg. He had his doctor in the hospital, the wound care team, & his cardio all rallying for him to try to persuade the surgeon to go on ahead with his mitral valve replacement asap. His doctor got a call last night from the surgeon saying she is refusing to do the surgery!
WHAT THE HELL! A man in bad need of a valve replacement & a top notch heart surgeon refuses the surgery! I do not understand it at all!
He has an appointment with his cardio tomorrow & hopefully he has another top notch heart surgeon or two he can refer him to. Without this surgery, it will just be a matter of 3 or 4 weeks before dad will build up the fluid all over again & have to start this process all over again!
